Zaremo (Duč Plant)

Zaremo is a Czech online plant retailer backed by a family business from eastern Slovakia with a generational history. The company combines its own nurseries with imports from various European countries, grew by 100% last year, and offers customers not just plants but expertise — when to plant, how to care for them, and what works in any given season.

The integration with ERP Helios went smoothly. Data flowed exactly the way we needed it to.

Zaremo (Duč Plant)

Main project challenges

The original Slovak e-shop ran on Shoptet, which is limited for expansion into other countries. Moving to Shopify, building a new brand, and launching a new domain during peak season — those were three concurrent decisions at once. The company came to the project with a clear vision: the owners wanted a partner who would not only deliver technically, but would think ahead and flag issues before they became problems.

How the collaboration process worked

The collaboration began with a workshop. We produced a technical specification that served both as a decision-making tool and a development brief. The client saw that we knew our stuff and chose us as a strong, reliable partner.

The project had a fixed price and scope. Everything outside the agreed scope we noted and estimated separately, so the client always had a clear picture of what they were getting and for how much.

Enhanced features for a better user experience

Edward Duč

My experience working with Sounds Good has been very positive. Building the e-shop on the Shopify platform went exactly as agreed — professionally and without unnecessary complications. What also stood out was their way of working: how efficiently they operate, using modern tools including AI, speeding up decision-making and simplifying processes without compromising on quality. We're glad we chose Sounds Good, and we would choose them again.

    With Sounds Good we built on years of collaboration with their parent company Shopsys, and we remain satisfied to this day. Long story short: Sounds Good sounds good to me!

    We switched to Sounds Good from a competitor. What drew me most was the depth and level of their Shopify platform knowledge, including direct contacts at the source and insider information. At Econea.cz we have always pushed the boundaries of what Shopify can do, and we needed a partner who is truly on the technological edge. We do a lot of development in-house, but when we run out of steam or lose our way, we have a great partner.

    We were looking for an experienced partner for Shopify-based projects who could help us design and deliver more complex, non-standard requirements. These are B2B projects that required ERP SAP integration and consideration of the needs of wholesale partners accustomed to the previous platform. I appreciate the reliability of the project management and the expertise of the Sounds Good team.

    Manager for Digitalization and Expansion

    For our website migration from a previous platform, we needed a strong and reliable partner to help us discover the world of Shopify — and also one that could influence Shopify itself. Thanks to that, we were among the first in the Czech Republic to get Shopify Payments and other new features, and we can give feedback directly to the Shopify platform. Solutions from Sounds Good have always been tailored and thoroughly validated.

    We chose Sounds Good for their deep knowledge of the platform, which they demonstrated very quickly. The implementation was not without unexpected twists, but Sounds Good always responded fast, adjusted the scope, and pushed on. That is exactly the approach we were looking for. Now we work with them every day, steadily making improvements.

We went with Shopify, because

    We have a complex product range and complex operations (manufacturing, warehouse, returns, testing room), so we deliberated a custom-built solution for a long time. In the end, Shopify's cost-effectiveness, supplemented by only minor adjustments to our processes, simply won.

    We were looking for a solution that would cover the wide range of our requirements — we run dozens of local brand presentation websites for individual labels both in the Czech Republic and across the EU, and we also want to sell robustly in both B2C and B2B mode, but without a large development team. On top of that, we wanted a solution ready to connect with a broad range of marketplace and drop-ship partners. Hence Shopify. We leverage the platform's rapid development and the extensive app ecosystem of third parties. So after roughly 4 years, we are satisfied with this choice.

    We have been on Shopify for over 3 years and we would not switch. The technology level and the speed of adopting new trends is unmatched. We run both a B2B and B2C e-shop, and every limitation we have encountered has always had a solution. In my view, Shopify has no ceiling when it comes to international expansion or company size. I see it as the most expensive and at the same time the best platform out there. And we have no problem paying for quality.
