TESTIMONIALS
What our customers are saying about their engagements with us.
We approached Telos Alpha due to a need for a new and modern website. Brent and his team helped us retain our data, transfer thousands of products, build the category structures, integrate us with new payment partners, and implemented 301 redirects to maintain our google ranking. I have no regrets about working with Telos Alpha, they provided professional service, brought a wealth of industry knowledge, and built the new site based on feedback they gathered from our team in person. Brent worked closely with us after launch to very quickly address issues, continuously coached me as I learned to resolve the problems myself in anticipation of a handoff. He even set up a test environment so I could experiment with custom code and plugins, without impacting our live site.
On the payment processing side, Hatim worked diligently to get our processing application approved with the limited information we were able to provide and has corrected a few minor issues that have come up since the launch of our new website. He understood the challenges that face firearms companies when it comes to payment processors and leveraged his contacts to get our application approved quickly (as quickly as financial institutions can be expected to move).
Thanks Guys, A+ Job all around, and I hope we can integrate Telos into more of our projects moving forwards.
Telos Alpha handled our migration from our old legacy cart system. SFRC is one of Canada’s oldest and largest retailers, so you can appreciate the size of this migration. We had first planned to go to Shopify, and then had to turn on a dime when Shopify went anti-firearm. Telos Alpha was able to stay on top of the change, manage our expectations and get us migrated on time and on budget. We are happy to be working with them and appreciate how dedicated they are to the Canadian Firearms Industry.
We were extremely fortunate to find Brent Lucas, and Telos Alpha. His knowledge and insight of the Canadian firearms business needs and website design are unmatched. He expertly captured our business brand, refined it, and produced a product light years of our expectations. Brent was able and more than willing to be a mentor and coach on excellent methods of e-commerce business, social media, and overall firearms business strategies.
We have been working with Telos Alpha now for 6 months and have had them take on larger and larger roles within our operation. Their services are cost effective and easy to manage, and show real ROI on our investments with them.
We have been partnered with Telos Alpha through three websites so far, one for each of our lines of business. Not only do they know e-commerce, they understand the firearms and security business. That makes working with them much easier, as we don’t have to teach them firearms culture help them understand the complex laws and regulations we work under.
Telos Alpha saved us from the Shopify anti-firearms debacle on 2018, and helped us streamline and survive in a very rough time in the Canadian firearms industry.
