Where we have come from

Syncrony was established in 1999. Our mission back then, was to develop a web Content Management System that we could use to manage our customers web content. The system we developed ran off a Windows app that pushed content to the web via a complicated process. Making web stuff work in those days was hard and it was unimaginable to us that by 2017 the CMS would so easy to deploy and use that there would be fifty-thousand WordPress sites alone, launched every day.

By 2003, we had replaced our homegrown CMS with an open source Microsoft based system that grew to become DotNetNuke (DNN). Fortunately, we picked a winner and DNN became a worldwide standard for Microsoft CMS systems. However, by 2017 we realised that although DNN has served us well it was time to find a more modern platform. By then we had over the years developed beautiful websites for companies like Stefanutti Stocks, CCMA, AGSA, Bonitas and others. DNN had also served as the base platform for us to develop custom systems for the YUM Foods (KFC) and Famous Brands. Long-term customers who to this day, depend on the reliability of the DNN based extranet that we built for them in the years starting from 2009.

Fifteen Years of Online Commerce Experience We started our e-commerce journey in 2005, with an in-house online shop system, written in Microsoft ASP .Net. Our first production online shop sold Bose electronic equipment and the system went on to be used for other customers, including a daily-deals website with a monthly turnover of over a million ZAR a month.

In 2013, we added the Magento eCommerce Platform to our skillset and began building online stores. Since then our Magento expertise has expanded to include Magento customization, extension development as well as specialized Magento hosting services.
