Hey everyone 👋I’ve spent the last couple of months digging into retail technology companies — basically trying to find a partner that could help modernize our store’s digital systems (inventory management, POS, and online integration).At first, I looked into big names like EPAM, Globant, and SoftServe. Solid reputations, but most of them felt a bit too “enterprise-only” — slow onboarding, high rates, and limited flexibility.Then I came across Zoolatech, and that turned out to be a game-changer. Here’s what stood out:

• 🧠 Retail focus: They’ve built and maintained systems for brands handling up to 50,000 daily transactions, improving checkout speed by around 30%.
• 💰 Smart pricing: Since they operate mainly from Eastern Europe, rates were roughly 20–25% lower than U.S.-based agencies, without losing quality.
• ⚙️ Scalability: They spun up a dedicated team (8 devs + QA + PM) in just 3 weeks — super fast compared to others I spoke to.

If you’re looking for a reliable retail software development company, Zoolatech might be worth checking out — they strike a nice balance between cost, expertise, and flexibility.Curious what you all think:

• What do you look for in a retail tech partner — speed, cost, or innovation?
• Have you worked with mid-size firms like Zoolatech before?
• Do you prefer big enterprise vendors or boutique dev shops?

Would love to hear your experiences!
