With pdsCommerce’s robust functionality, shared success business model, and rapid deployment model, it was the platform of choice for Timo Weiland
For Immediate Release: Providence, RI – December 2, 2015
Precision Design Studios (PDS) is pleased to announce the launch of Timo Weiland’s new site on pdsCommerce™, it’s enterprise-level, PaaS-based commerce platform designed for B2C and B2B retailers. Timo Weiland, a growing high fashion, contemporary brand, is the first retailer to take advantage of pdsCommerce’ Rapid Deployment Model (RDM), which allowed them to go live on the enterprise-level platform within 8 weeks of contract signing.
Timo Weiland, the co-founder and creative director of his namesake brand, first introduced Timo Weiland’s ready-to-wear line in the spring of 2010. The brand is sold at select high-end stores, as well as through its own online storefront. Timo Weiland has seen steady growth to date, and its future commerce goals required a platform with advanced functionality that it could grow into.
pdsCommerce was an attractive option for Timo Weiland because of its client-friendly business model and speed to market – two important elements that, to date, have been unheard of in the industry for enterprise-level platforms. A standard pdsCommerce implementation supports a 12 week timeline from contract signing to site launch, but when utilizing the Rapid Deployment Model, retailers can go live within a six to eight week timeline. As always, the affordable monthly subscription fee includes all design and implementation costs.
Also contributing to Timo Weiland’s decision to choose pdsCommerce is that the project delivery and technology teams work together under the same roof, alleviating the oftentimes prominent disconnect between the platform provider, the implementation partner, and the retailer. There is a joint investment in the success of the client, and PDS has the flexibility to make platform updates as required to accommodate the needs of clients.
Throughout the eight-week timeline, Timo Weiland’s team worked closely with the pdsCommerce project team to bring their site to life. PDS’ creative team worked directly with the developers to ensure that Timo Weiland’s fully responsive site was UX/UI optimized and pixel perfect.
“We’re very excited to introduce our Rapid Deployment Model with the launch of Timo Weiland’s new site. Launching an enterprise-level site within eight weeks is incredible; it takes a lot of dedication on the part of both the developers and the client. It’s been a pleasure working with the entire Timo Weiland team and we’re looking forward to our continued relationship,” remarks Kevin Kennedy, Founder & CEO of PDS.
Timo Weiland comments, “Working with PDS gave us an opportunity to elevate our brand’s online presence to a true enterprise level. The tools they have given us and the support they provide have allowed us to create an ecommerce platform that truly represents the ethos of the brand. Their team took on all our ideas and completely understood how to both make them a reality and translate them into a great user experience on the website.”
