ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT
Accelerating Digital Transformation for B2B Manufacturers
Acro Commerce’s accelerated development is a fine-tuned, prescriptive, yet flexible project management process that empowers B2B manufacturers to quickly bring innovative solutions to market, with continuous improvements and adaptability to evolving industry demands. Launch faster, improve continuously, and drive results.
What is Accelerated Development?
Scrum-based project management
Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps individuals, teams, and organizations generate value by finding adaptive solutions to complex problems.
It provides a system that allows teams to develop and learn by reflecting on experience to improve continuously.
Carefully chosen technologies
Hand-selected platforms and functionalities allow projects to launch quickly with a curated selection of systems and features for flexible, ongoing improvements.
Laser-focused for industry
By concentrating solely on B2B manufacturing, we've cultivated a deep understanding of the industry's intricacies. This enables us to provide specialized expertise and innovative solutions that drive tangible results for our clients.
Connecting siloed systems
Accelerated development built on the backbone of a composable commerce architecture allows manufacturers to harness the power of their data.
Exploration through iteration
Manufacturing companies need the ability to test new technologies to determine if they are worth a more significant investment. Accelerated development allows for quick implementation and testing to prove or disprove value.
Accelerating Digital Transformation
Using a planned approach and iterative improvements, an accelerated development approach allows manufacturers to get to market fast with a solid base and then build iteratively on that base in time-bound increments to continuously deliver new features and functionality to their projects.

Bringing It All Together With Acro Commerce
"Overall, the engagement with Acro Commerce went really well and was well-received internally at Discover Global Network ®. The team was exceptionally professional, and even traditionally tricky items like AM/PM switches were handled well. We look forward to continuing our growing relationship with Acro Commerce as we dig deeper into the Drupal ecosystem."
Andrew Gordon, Executive Relationship Manager, Discover Global Network.
"We wanted to begin by protecting our revenue streams overall, and those associated with our digital platform. And there’s no doubt in our minds that the work Acro Commerce has done for us has provided that protection and has enabled us to grow in a couple of dimensions: one, we’re seeing growth in terms of revenue; we’re seeing growth in terms of new customer acquisition; we’re seeing growth in average order size; and we’re seeing growth indicators in areas of a satisfying customer experience."
Gregory M. Sottile, Ph.D., Director of Sales & Marketing, USI Laminate
"The golden rule in Agile design has always been: you can have it fast, you can have it well priced, or you can have it high quality, but you can’t have all 3, so pick 2. Acro has been able to defy this rule on numerous occasions over the last year through Agile prioritized execution, precise, detailed planning to reduce rework, and continual validation of design to ensure business needs are being met. It is this partnership between TELUS and Acro Commerce that has kept us coming back time and time again for further development and enhancements."
Jenna Sweetland, Director of Marketing, TELUS Business
“We wanted an agency that had the technical and design ability we needed, but more importantly, we wanted an agency that we could work with and who would be invested in the project's success. Acro Commerce worked alongside us every step of the way, and especially towards the end, they bent over backwards to make sure we finally got the website over the line.”
