FCR Media chose the Tack Media platform to optimize its website QA process. FCR Media’s existing quality control checks were translated into automated checkpoints that Tack Media could test for. Now anyone could request an automatic QA check of a website within minutes. This put the tool in the hands of the designers to use during the build process, allowing them to learn from and self-correct errors, thereby significantly increasing the speed of production. The technical QA team was re-purposed to focus on website content, helping to product more consistent, higher quality websites.

FCR Media is the largest digital media agency for SMEs in Ireland, producing a high volume of websites with demanding QA requirements.
The short answer
Their QA process was labor-intensive and occurred late in production, meaning that when problems were discovered they required time-consuming reworks to fix. Sales confidence was increasingly limited by the speed of fulfillment. By improving their website QA, FCR Media aimed to remove this limit on their fulfillment process, and thereby increase sales revenue.
