Shutterfly is a leading digital photo platform that allows users to store, share, and transform their photos into personalized products. Through its online services and mobile applications, millions of users create photo books, prints, and custom gifts using their favorite memories.
As Shutterfly continued expanding its digital ecosystem, the company needed additional engineering support to enhance its user experience and support new product features. They were looking for an experienced development partner capable of contributing to a large-scale consumer platform used by millions. The big challenge we had was to develop a platform that would help them properly manage, store, purge, and classify a massive amount of data from customer orders.
We brought together a team of specialized engineers in order to analyze the issue our client was having. Through a product discovery process, we decided to build a scalable tool that would not only enable the internal handling of stock in the catalog, but would also facilitate the process of uploading new products, while also minimizing potential errors.
After 3 years of working with Shutterfly, we were able to develop and maintain a scalable tool for internal use, which is currently used by the client to manage every aspect of its stock in a quick and safe way. Right now, the platform is seamlessly handles millions of images while also maintaining a seamless experience for the user.
