The challenge

Two tools, one big bill

When Smith Optics came to us, they were spending heavily on search and reviews. I knew we could bring that down dramatically.

Shown live, not on slides

I didn't want to pitch. I put Boost live on a real store and let the merchandising do the talking.

A rhythm built around them

We set a weekly rhythm so their whole team stayed in the loop, and tailored everything to the way they work.

A smooth handover to build

The handover was clean. I picked it up and got both apps live together.

Built a feature before go-live

Smith Optics wanted a merchandising operator, so we built it before go-live, with a dedicated support inbox alongside.

Rolling out to more brands

Smith Optics are bringing Boost to more brands in their group, with the team close by every step.

We cut our bill by $80k, and our numbers went up, not down. The team even built what we needed before we went live.
