We work with brands and retailers to help them achieve their business goals and deliver key strategic projects. Our team have undertaken fixed scope and retained consultancy work for businesses of all shapes and sizes, ranging from complex replatforming projects to strategic audits to ad-hoc workshops.
Introduction & Offering
Vervaunt started off only offering impartial ecommerce consultancy services, later expanding into performance marketing. As a business, we only work on ecommerce projects and have an in-house team of specialist consultants, all bringing different experience and skill-sets. We're flexible with how we work - ranging from small ad-hoc workshops to larger fixed scope projects to retained relationships. The client-fit is more important to us than the brief or project scope.
Examples of projects we commonly work on include very specific strategies (e.g. performance) and broader audits (e.g. overall CX), technical scoping and requirements gathering, RFP / RFI management, replatforming project management, specific scope delivery (e.g. product personalisation), strategy support and workshops, and roadmap definition and ownership.
We engaged Vervaunt to act as consultants and project managers for our Magento 2 to Shopify Plus web migration. From the scoping of the tech stack, project tender, management and strategic direction, they held our hand every step of the way.
The team are highly engaging and have a detailed understanding of D2C ecommerce, deeply rooted in a passion for the industry and the technology on the market. Their ability to dissect and balance operational, technical and commercial deliverables is what sets them apart from other key players in the market. They are hugely motivating to work with, their energy and love for what they do is infectious and they deliver on all fronts.
More Detail on How We Work
Our consultancy services are designed to help brands and retailers who are looking for guidance, advice, optimisation and strategy. Our experienced team are able to deliver both strategic and hands-on projects to help achieve key business goals, fill skill gaps, accelerate key projects or manage change.
Our engagements tend to range massively around scope and budget - with some projects being small hourly advisory pieces and others being focused on delivering large projects and taking full ownership of the scope, budget and delivery.
Consultancy
For those looking for streamlined support, we provide completely bespoke consultancy services that are typically more advisory, with us operating as a strategic partner. As part of these types of projects and retainers, we act as an extension of your team and examples of how we can work include:

Project management and product ownership
Hands-on support with launching new features and functionality, and accelerating delivery (ranging from configuration to data migration to testing)

Our Consulting Team
We hired Vervaunt to run an end-to-end ecommerce platform and integration partner RfP for The Conran Shop, which was an extremely comprehensive process that lasted a number of months, in total.
We looked at a number of different ecommerce platforms and their knowledge of these was very strong and the team showed us how the key workflows and tasks would be handled with each of them and also with different third-party technologies.
I would definitely recommend Vervaunt and we were really pleased with the end result and how the process was run.
