The technical support is very professional and timely, also very patient, and very efficient problem solving, was a great experience, I will contact them in the future if there is any need.
They had a great ERP system and a team that helped provide a different portion of the project
Webkul successfully performed the integration process. They effectively streamlined the workflow and utilized their own ERP, which was pivotal to the project's success. Above all, their service fee, execution speed, and customer service were the highlights of the engagement.
Saved a ton of time developing a custom connector!
First off , the connector for Akeneo to Bigcommerce was a must for a current project and until I found that WebKul had a solution we had spec'd the job to develop our own. With the time and money I was able to save my client with the connector they were not only happy but impressed.
There were some issues during installation, however the team at Webkul were quick to respond and RESOLVE all issues I had. Over the last several years I have directed clients to use WebKul plugins and have always been delighted with the strong support team and quality code delivered. I look forward to working with you again!
