about Voetbal Direct
Launched in 2009 by two friends passionate about sports, Soccer Direct is now the largest online store offering good advice, excellent service, and quick delivery of sporting goods to soccer fans, players, coaches and teams in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg region.
the goal
the challenge
The first Soccer Direct eCommerce website, while popular, was essentially a stand-alone system that required manual order entry into the ERP system. The company has grown and needed a flexible and more automated solution capable of supporting further growth without sacrificing performance.
Furthermore, the product catalog has grown very diverse, requiring new and different product categories and product types to be added and easily managed – functionality that the previous web architecture lacked.

our solution
Maven has developed a custom Magento store theme from the PSD file provided by designers working on the redesign. We enabled multiple product features with the corresponding filtering options, as well as implemented multiple Ajax filters that optimized product filtering, making browsing through the growing product catalog a breeze.

With Maven we cooperate a few years already. They are fully engaged in the technical support of our online store. And we are completely satisfied with the quality of work, terms, and quality of service. Thanks to a dedicated account manager! We have a feeling that we have our own onboard technical team, not the remote one.

It is only on very rare occasions that an individual comes along that leaves a lasting impression with their dedication and work ethic. I have to say that Sergey is one such person. Sergey’s dedication to the project has been faultless and he has worked with outstanding professionalism throughout.

When we looked at Maven as part of our selection process and had our first meeting, it was clear that you were the best fit for our company. We looked for people who cared about the project, the mission and had the technical skills to bring it all together. You made us confident we could do it. At times during the project, I was worried. Had we attempted too much in one go? Everything seemed even more complicated than when we had our meeting a year ago in Kiev. Lots of things started breaking. Thankfully, each time we hit this point, it only took a few calls to get back on track and under control. Honesty, compromise, and pragmatism are some of the key factors I have found in completing successful projects, and we made the right choice because these are your values too.
