SNOW.DOG

What SNOW.DOG does

SNOW.DOG (legal entity SNOWDOG Sp. z o.o.) is a Poland-based full-service digital agency founded in 2006 in Poznań that designs, builds, migrates, and operates eCommerce platforms across Magento Open Source, Adobe Commerce, commercetools, BigCommerce, Hyvä, and Shopify. The firm serves enterprise and mid-market B2B and B2C clients globally — including Selena, eobuwie, Jaguar Land Rover, Sunstar Global, Social Native, and Biuro Paczka — with delivery spanning custom platform development, native Android/iOS apps, headless/composable implementations, ERP/PIM/BaseLinker system integrations, UX/UI design, DevOps consulting, and accessibility services targeting WCAG and European Accessibility Act compliance.

The technology stack is centered on PHP 8.3, MariaDB 11.4, Elasticsearch, Redis, Varnish, Vue.js, Nuxt 3, and ReactPHP on AWS infrastructure. Proprietary IP includes ISKRA/Sparq (a Hyvä-based storefront framework positioned as a faster, WCAG-compliant alternative to Magento Luma), the A11y Audit Tool (automated and manual WCAG reporting for desktop and mobile), Magebutton, and an EU-funded image-recognition technology prototype built in the Snowdog Labs R&D division. The agency holds Gold Adobe Solutions Partner, Magento Business Solution Partner, Hyvä partner, commercetools partner, BigCommerce partner, and AWS Partner Network designations.

Revenue is generated primarily through custom development projects and consulting engagements, supplemented by tiered fixed-price UX/UI Conversion & Accessibility Review packages ($2,950 / $6,500 / $9,500) and recurring UX Health and CRO retainers ($595 and $2,950 per month). Following the August 2024 strategic merger with US-based IronPlane (Portland, Maine), the combined entity — led by CEO Robert Giovannini with Snowdog founder Kuba Zwolinski as CXO — operates as a 70+ specialist international commerce agency and is treated as an IronPlane subsidiary.
