Bringing a retail platform into reliable operation
INVOGUE's six-year partnership combines new development with continuing performance and integration work.
Read the case
Keep improving the platform your business depends on.
The business still needs new features when the codebase is difficult to change, pages are slow or integrations need attention. We help work out what is holding the platform back and plan improvements alongside the work you need to release.
What we take on
Platform takeover
Understand the codebase, infrastructure, integrations and outstanding work before planning the handover.
Performance
Investigate slow pages, requests and data processing, then prioritise changes around the causes found.
Maintenance and updates
Keep planned updates, fixes and technical housekeeping visible alongside feature work.
Integration reliability
Examine failed exchanges and the data or processing rules behind them.
Codebase improvements
Refactor or replace parts of the system that make necessary changes difficult.
Continuing development
Turn the business roadmap into releases while maintaining an agreed technical backlog.
Change the right parts in a workable order
A slow platform does not automatically need a full rebuild. Equally, adding more features without addressing a weak foundation can make the next change harder.
We examine the current problems and upcoming requirements, then explain the options and dependencies. The plan can combine immediate fixes, gradual improvements and larger changes where they are justified.

What our clients say
Matt Schwachofer
Co-founder, The Casino Wizard
Since we started working with UI Arts, our projects have been running far more smoothly than they did with previous development teams. Whenever something comes up, Igor is quick to respond, which has made a real difference. It’s been a straightforward, reliable partnership, and we’re looking forward to continuing in the same way for years to come.
Questions about existing platforms
Can you take over a platform with little documentation?
We can assess it, but the missing context needs to be accounted for. Access to the code, hosting and connected systems helps us understand how it works and identify what requires investigation before a handover.How do you decide whether to improve or rebuild?
We compare the current limitations with what the business needs next. The decision depends on the architecture, data, integration requirements and the cost of continuing with the existing approach. We explain the trade-offs before recommending a route.Can new features continue while the platform is being improved?
Often, yes. We plan the work around dependencies and the parts of the system affected. Some changes can run alongside feature development; others need a coordinated release or migration.Do you promise a particular PageSpeed score?
A target needs to be based on the pages, measurement conditions and constraints involved. We investigate the causes of slow performance and agree what can be improved. Third-party scripts, content and external services can affect the result.What does ongoing support include?
It can include maintenance, fixes, performance work, integration improvements and new features. Coverage, availability and response expectations are agreed for the engagement, along with how work is prioritised.
