Ben's team has been exceptional! They built us a custom app on top of Shopify that allows for a complex order transaction flow and syncs seamlessly with our back end.  They have also been incredibly responsive when we have had issues.  Having no in-house engineering talent, we have relied on them heavily to bring new features to life and are really impressed by their work!  Highly recommended.

Also, Ben and team is so deep in with Shopify's system that they are so capable of doing ...

What a find! I would give these guys 6 stars if I could, here's why... The Ben Crudo team has been a blessing for me and the design of my store, www,petalandpost.com. It was a rocky road leading up to my discovery of this group (there are a lot of developers out there with big claims and lousy execution). Ben Crudo Consulting thankfully cleaned up the mess created by a past developer and accom...
