Solution

Assistance with development and support of a WordPress-based website now and a single page application later. The latter encompasses delivering a persuasive and highly likely-to-convert interface for the checkout page. Migration of the SPA to a Rails-based application, which dramatically increased website loading speed. Ruby on Rails made it possible to create admin forms with a single tag instead of countless lines of code. Migrated massive amounts of data to a custom PostgreSQL database, thereby facilitating a smooth transition from one system to another. Payment systems integration (Stripe, Braintree) and subscribers’ experience optimization.

Results

No longer limited by their platform, Freshly continued on its successful trajectory, shipping up to one million meals across 48 states every week! And in 2020, they were acquired by global juggernaut Nestle for an astounding $1.5 billion, paving the way for even greater opportunity now and in the future — Vention is happy to be along for the ride, of course.
