Keyideas built a high-performance platform for our engagement rings using NodeJS and ReactJS. They implemented a Build Your Own Ring module with seamless diamond sourcing from RapNet. Within three months of launch, our online orders increased by 35%, generating an additional $50,000 in revenue. The precision and expertise they brought to the project were unmatched.

Keyideas transformed our Shopify store with their Build Your Own Ring app. Their powerful diamond feed center integrates live inventory with a markup module, allowing us to set markups by price or carat and compare vendor prices seamlessly. It? a game-changer for managing diamond feeds efficiently.

Their expertise has transformed how customers shop with us.

Keyideas boosted our Shopify store with their Ring builder app, designed specifically for engagement rings. The tool allows customers to create their dream ring easily with an intuitive three-step process. With real-time inventory updates and dynamic pricing, we?e seen a very good growth in engagement ring sales. For any jeweler focused on customization, this app is a game-changer.

Keyideas transformed our e-commerce platform by migrating us from Magento 1 to Laravel using the Bagisto framework. Their expertise in Laravel, MySQL, and Vue.js resulted in a captivating and secure site that showcases our engagement rings and lab-grown diamonds beautifully.
