    Opinions

    • Choosing the right technologies, as well as their suppliers, is key to ensuring flexibility and therefore business agility. Above all, it’s translated into strategic areas such as scalability and collaboration. By relying on partners who prioritise security, stability, and technological up-to-dateness while responding quickly to trends and the individual needs of the organisation, we can focus on what is most important to us – the customer and the product.

      Aleksandra Szol, e-Commerce and Marketing Director at MODIVO/eobuwie.pl

    • Choosing the right technologies, particularly in the e-commerce/omnichannel area, is a key strategic element that has an impact on the efficiency, scalability, and innovation of any business. Decisions connected with the implementation of SaaS and AI solutions are part and parcel of the business optimisation process, where the wrong choice of technology partner can lead to complications, increased costs, and failure to tap into the full potential of innovation. This is why Digital Quality Mark aims to review and recommend the technologies with the highest efficiency from the viewpoint of the e-commerce sector as well as those best tailored to e-commerce needs, guaranteeing businesses the solidity and security of their investment in modern solutions.

      Piotr Chojnacki, Sales Director at YES

    • The choice of technology at the stage of setting up your e-commerce outlet is often underestimated. However, an ill-considered choice of tools can have a drastic impact on the future of the business. You need to anticipate the store's scaling stages, security, as well as automation and integration activities right from the outset. Any migration in the future raises many risks, both for database and SEO, for example.

      Tomasz Osman, CEO at Savicki

    • The very rapid development of technology in areas such as e-commerce and marketing based on solutions including AI may today constitute a tangible competitive advantage, but an incompetent selection of technology will be a barrier to proper development, which we may not be able to perceive without adequate information resources. Bearing this in mind, it’s extremely important to know the right tools and to choose those that, at the right stage of the development of your business, will mean real aid and not another useless add-on.

      Maciej Stępień, e-Commerce Director at MEDICINE

    • Digital Quality Mark is a unique competition that allows interaction between the participants and the Jury right from the stage of presenting and evaluating SaaS and AI tools. It is also Poland’s first competition that involves the evaluation of AI tools by potential customers in terms of hands-on use.

      Paulina Wojczyńska, Project Director with e-Chamber
