As a fast-growing e-commerce company, the Dutch jewelry and fashion retailer My Jewellery was looking for future-proof Quality Engineering & Testing to strengthen their dynamic digital environment. What we delivered for My Jewellery:
Founded in 2011 by Sharon Hilgers, My Jewellery has since grown into an e-commerce platform active in 13 countries with 2 million monthly users. The business boasts 40 bricks-and-mortar boutiques, 31 of which are in the Netherlands, with other stores in Belgium, Germany and France. In addition to jewellery, the brand caters for style-conscious consumers with clothing, accessories and lifestyle products carefully chosen to align with major trends.
My Jewellery is a data-driven organization which uses in-house systems to identify potential and emergent trends, and inform decision-making around popular locations for new stores and campaign goals. For easy access to the right data, all internal and external systems must integrate perfectly.
Customization and flexibility were important to the brand, and the winning solution involved the three-part Sogetrio approach, of a team of two Test Automation Engineers working alongside an Automation Consultant. Crucially, Sogeti was able to select test professionals for both their skills and character, creating a team of enthusiastic, proactive experts for both professional and personal team cohesion.
Client: My Jewellery

“A good partnership always works both ways, and this certainly applies to our collaboration with My Jewellery. Thanks to the good relationship and short lines of communication, we were able to translate their shopping list into a solution that met their needs in terms of technical support, software and strategic advice.”Danny Man, Client Manager Quality Engineering & Testing Sogeti

My Jewellery needed testing capacity to integrate a new warehouse management system. Test Automation Engineers first performed an integration test, followed by Performance Testing by carefully chosen professionals. The team had to hit the ground running, ready to ramp up quickly for thorough system integration testing.
The Sogetrio-based approach ensured that My Jewellery had the right testing skills and knowledge on hand. Thanks to a good cultural fit, our two enthusiastic and motivated Test Automation Engineers were fully involved right from project kick-off, creating a seamless team of Sogeti and My Jewellery professionals. Meanwhile, the Sogeti Automation Consultant was available as a sounding board and advisor for the My Jewellery Test Manager, while providing coaching and support to the Test Automation Engineers.
Strong client intimacy means close communication. The My Jewellery Test Manager knew that Sogeti professionals were on hand as needed for questions and our Automation Consultant could call in other Sogeti experts if necessary. Close cooperation between the Sogeti Automation Consultant, Sogeti Client Manager and the My Jewellery Test Manager also facilitated the search for the right Test Coordinator, who slotted easily and quickly into the test team.
“The best thing about working with Sogeti test professionals is that they bring a lot of positive energy and adapt quickly to the dynamic environment at My Jewellery. This allows us to do a large volume of testing work in a short period of time, and work on sustainable testing solutions in parallel.”Janine Simons, Test Manager My Jewellery

The Test Automation Engineers played a pivotal role in the Test Data Management solution developed jointly by Sogeti and My Jewellery. When they weren’t working on the testing solution itself, they were busy optimizing the retailer’s Test Data Management system, creating a custom tool designed to enable My Jewellery to generate large amounts of test data in a short period of time for User Acceptance Testing.
A fast-growing business like My Jewellery needs to be able to react to the peaks and troughs of customer demand at different times of year. Ahead of Black Friday, for example, My Jewellery needs to be able to comprehensively test system integrations to ensure a seamless client experience. Sogeti Performance-Testing-as-a-Service is configured so that test data and scripts can be reused, laying the foundation for future-proof Quality Engineering & Testing across My Jewellery systems.
