Vervaunt has been instrumental in the vast growth of our eCommerce business both via their paid media services and eCommerce consultancy. I've personally worked with them on several occasions in two different businesses and each time they have brought their wealth of knowledge in all manners of eCommerce including technical, strategic and performance. What makes them stand out is their team who specialise in specific areas of the business meaning you receive expert advice and solutions which are relevant to your setup. Their eagerness to support and pro-active nature means they are testament to the "extension of the team" phrase. A highly recommended partner for any business looking to scale with immediate results.

RfP Management
We approach every project differently, but the two core types of RfPs we’d work on would be platform / technology vendor selection (where we’d usually try and avoid a standardised RfP process) and then partner or agency selection (where it can be more relevant, depending on the scope of the project, business etc). As part of the tender process, we would usually cover the following:
- Overall design of process (timelines, meetings / stages, response framework / approach etc.).
- Initial discovery sessions to build out requirements.
- Assessment of options against the requirements.
- Build out a shortlist of partners or vendors.
- Build out documentation for tender process (usually a detailed RfP document and then a supporting requirements or spec document).
- Organise the presentation meetings and agendas.
- Define evaluation and scoring criteria.
- Manage references.
- Work alongside internal teams to assess each partners and ultimately make the decision.

My path crossed Vervaunt's a few times in the past, mainly from the name regularly coming up as a recommended and trusted ecommerce supplier.
When I joined Orveon and the subject of re-platforming came my way, I knew exactly who to turn to! Vervaunt is a well grounded agency, with an obvious passion for ecommerce and proven industry expertise.
What sets Vervaunt apart is the transparency and honesty that comes with the working relationship. It's all too easy for agencies to try and blind clients with acronyms, one sided stats and new niche trends. Vervaunt genuinely feel like an extension of the Orveon team, and I look forward to growing the Orveon brands with your help.
