Hear from brands we have helped

"Young Foodies helped create our e-commerce website after a brand refresh. They were great at building on my initial design ideas, bringing the technical knowledge and capability to make it a reality. Within a few weeks the site was up and running, and they have since been great at supporting me with changes or optimising through A/B testing. They were a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend their help to any brand!"

"We approached Young Foodies to support the launch of our brand - we wanted to use their expertise to allow us to focus on other areas. They supported with everything from commercial models, finding the right 3PL and artwork compliance. Their wealth of experience has helped us setup for success."

"We’ve been working with Young Foodies for 12 months now, and they have proven they can set up Unleashed for their client brands to a fantastic standard. Their experience of Unleashed setup combined with using the software day to day puts them in a unique position to implement for their clients."

Young Foodies have been a massive helping hand to set-up Unleashed in our business, ensuring that the job was completed as efficiently and effectively as possible. They have gone over and above for us whenever we have needed help dealing with inevitable teething issues, taking away much of the stress and being an invaluable source of knowledge and guidance."

FAQs

How do you price your systems projects?

Pricing depends on the size of system, functionality and bespoking time. We always aim to give a realistic cost estimate before any work begins, and will make clear any changes to this throughout.

What if I'm not sure what I actually need?

We can help you more in the scoping and requirements definition stage, to work with you, your team or your partners to ensure clarity on what’s needed.

What if I don't have the budget for a cloud system?

If you do not feel ready to commit to a large cost, we would recommend some robust Excel models, depending on your needs. We can support in the design, implementation and maintenance of these tools.

How much time will you need from me for the project?

This depends, but most importantly we need your input during scoping to ensure we have considered everything and truly understand your needs. Then we may need you to make key decisions throughout the process as they arise.

What if my needs change during the project?

We start out with a clear scope that we ask you to sign-off. If this changes, we do our best to adapt flexibly while remaining transparent on the ramifications on timeline and budget.
