THE SOLUTION

To address these challenges, Pointer developed customizable modules to support Snif’s diverse product launches and ensured the site’s design system could accommodate rapid changes. A significant focus was placed on integrating try-before-you-buy functionality seamlessly, alongside migrating Snif’s site to Online Store 2.0 for enhanced flexibility and control.
