We have Shopify in our blood
We have Shopify in our blood
Those were the words when DTAILS' founder, Kim Eriksen, picked up the phone one day in May 2016. Shopify's Partner Manager called with what sounded like an informal dinner invitation. It turned out to be anything but informal – Shopify wanted Kim to start the first Shopify Plus Partner in the Nordic region.
So why Kim? Well, it wasn't by a random roll of the dice. Kim is one of the foremost Shopify experts in Denmark. If not the foremost. For over 20 years, he has run his own webshop and been an active player in Danish e-commerce, including a board position at FDIH (now part of Dansk Erhverv Digital Handel).
Already in 2013, he moved his webshop, morfars.dk, to Shopify – a platform that was virtually unknown in Denmark at the time. However, Kim saw the potential and with Shopify, he received the opportunity to transition the business from being a part-time webshop, where many hours were wasted on self-development.
But it also had its challenges. Shopify was tailored for American webshops and lacked features suitable for Danish conditions such as shipping and payment. But Kim didn't give up. He gathered a Shopify Denmark network, held user group meetings, and became a spokesperson for over 200 webshops. This helped. Shopify started gaining momentum in Denmark.
Shopify went international in 2016 – it was then that the invitation to San Francisco came. Already on the flight home, he had laid out the plan: I want to create the consulting firm that I dream of being a client of. He knew exactly what would drive DTAILS: Integrity was at the top.
We offer the solution that makes sense. With Shopify, there's no need to launch a coaster all at once. Integrity comes from being able to put ourselves in the customers' shoes. And we can do that because we all have operational experience in e-commerce, are practical thinkers, and are happy to brew an extra cup of coffee.
We don't want to create a bad solution, even if you're paying us for it. We'd much rather hear you say: Wow, you guys were amazing!
Hidden away in a courtyard in Nørrebro is the old Stryhn's liver pâté factory. That's where we are based. This is where we develop the webshops of the future. And there's nothing about it that's like liver pâté. We are Shopify experts with strong technical skills. This means we code our way to achieving the nearly impossible. That's called development. It's something you grow from. Quite literally as well!
Some of our colleagues are spread across the globe. We're screenfolk (and sourdough enthusiasts, family people, and much more), so it doesn't matter. However, you'll always have your points of contact at the liver pâté factory. We love inviting you into the backend and enjoy learning how we can make your webshop even better.
