The next generation of Co-working is K-working

We have middle-aged developers and young innovators and vice versa. Our experience stretches to the very beginning of e-commerce and beyond, and is looking even further into the future. By sharing and nurturing this knowledge we have created a team of specialists that can move faster than any individual or independent team.

You see at AKOOVA there really is a difference far and above most of our competitors. Our engineers not only build the platform they also run it.

“Because we grew up with magento we also saw all the teething problems that comes with rapid growth and the global expansion of e-commerce”

We understand the unprecidented demands that increasing transactions are creating, from website to warehouse.

Magento themselves can find it difficult to keep up with developments to their own platform. With a wide and increasing ecosystem, more moving parts and increased complexity in your Magento site, we are here to fill those knowledge gaps, provide stability and a platform for growth. Our only focus is to keep up with the technology that keeps your store up and running.
