VENDITANTHE WHO, WHAT AND WHY
Prepared by: Dan Atkinson - January 2017
We’re Venditan.
We help retailers take their online and in-store business to the next level. We are based in the heart of Manchester and have been delivering innovative online and in-store solutions for our retail partners since 1997.
Our solution is developed on the LAMP stack. Using the latest tools we produce the full retail systems that have been key to the online success of clients including Grazia, Gear4Music and Sigma Sport.
OVERVIEW
VENDITANTHE WHO, WHAT AND WHY
Prepared by: Dan Atkinson - January 2017
Our mission is a simple one: ‘To change the face of e-commerce in the UK’. It’s execution is anything but. Our software engineers are constantly focussed on creating elegant solutions that put the customer first.
Venditan Commerce, our omni-channel retail platform, is designed to ensure retailers deliver a totally unified experience to their customers. Getting every detail in the process correct is how cherished retail brands are born. It’s why customers return again and again. Venditan Commerce is engineered as a unified retail platform from the ground up. Its single aim is to help retailers be loved by more of their customers, more of the time. No matter what channel they choose. Through hard work, an open mind and exemplary client partnerships we have built technology that has enabled companies to become the go-to retailers in their chosen markets.

VENDITANTHE WHO, WHAT AND WHY
WHAT TECHNOLOGY WILL I BE USING?
Having a strong history in e-commerce means never ignoring the future. Our culture is about using the best tool for the job for the best retail experience. Some of the tools and approaches we are using to drive our business forward include:
OO PHP XHTML HTML5 MySQL UNIX / Linux
SaaS and Cloud (Inc Google and Amazon)
Elasticsearch Solr Yaf Phalcon
Composer Vagrant Capistrano Puppet Phabricator
GitHub Continuous Integration Codeception PHPUnit oVirt / KVM
You’ll probably recognise the tools listed, but we wouldn’t expect you to have an in-depth knowledge. We will provide the support and training to get you there though.

Great people - of course you would expect us to say that, but our low attrition rate speaks for itself.
Technically challenging - we don’t set coding competitions at leading PHP conferences for nothing.
Projects that build your knowledge, expertise and experience - if you’re good enough to work for us, you’re not going to stick in a job that leaves you in a coding rut and we wouldn’t want that either.
Room for self development - got or want Zend certification? Want other professional qualifications? We can offer the support and mentoring to excel.
Room for self-initiative - you tell us what that means.

Being a really good place to work isn’t just about hiring the right people, it’s about keeping them engaged in their work and feeling part of something.
With regular activities outside the office ranging from ping pong to 10k’s, break-out rooms to LAN parties we hope we have you covered. And it’s also recognising that your life exists beyond the walls of the office, which is why we have flexible working hours and working from home days.
