Grinteq

🎯 The Challenge

Grinteq, a full-service ecommerce software development agency specializing in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and Shopify, needed to reach ecommerce businesses requiring platform development, customization, and replatforming services. The challenge: breaking into established relationships between brands and existing development agencies, competing with offshore low-cost developers and freelancer platforms, demonstrating value of specialized ecommerce expertise vs. generalist development shops, and differentiating across crowded Salesforce/Magento/Shopify partner ecosystems. Success required positioning Grinteq’s 7+ years ecommerce focus and 4.9 Clutch rating as quality indicators.
