About
FragranceNet has sold over $3 billion in beauty products across 40,000-plus genuine brand-name items. For more than ten years, First Factory has modernized FragranceNet's purchasing systems and technology stack, evolving from a maintenance engagement into full-stack development, DevOps, and QA automation.
Challenge, approach, and impact
A purchasing system needing modernization at scale
FragranceNet's Purchasing department relied on aging systems that needed modernization without disrupting operations for a company shipping millions of packages. The stack needed centralized authentication, containerized deployments, and automated testing to keep pace with the business.
How we built
Testimonials
Barbara Porter
FragranceNet
“My favorite part is that I don't have to think about it. I've had very challenging experiences with outsourcers in the past...None of that happens with First Factory. It literally works as well as if we had employees working for us directly.“
