Neuralab has built a reputation for turning open-source frameworks into enterprise-grade storefronts. Founded by a trio of tech and design enthusiasts in 2008, they handle everything from design mockups to back-end integrations, teaching clients how to manage content and fine-tune performance long after launch. In this case study, we cover how they secured clients from Zagreb to New York City, tackled enterprise challenges, and maintained remote agility.
What began as an experiment with neural networks evolved into a serious e-commerce outfit. Krešimir Končić, Bruno, and Igor combined software development, video production, and design to form a balanced team. Their HQ is a live lab—designers, developers, and clients brainstorm under one roof. This approach blurs the line between planning and execution.
Neuralab maintains offices in Zagreb and New York, yet runs its workflow without chasing synchronous meetings. They lean on Google Workspace for docs and Hangouts, Trello boards configured as Kanban roadmaps, and Jira for technical specs. Harvest tracks billable hours so clients know what they get. Their local dev environments mirror production using Scotch Box. Code lives in Bitbucket and DeployBot pushes to staging or live servers at will.
Large organizations often raise three main concerns: content management, system integrations, and vendor lock-in. Neuralab addresses content by running hands-on WordPress workshops, showing clients how to import large media sets and maintain SEO best practices. For integrations, they tap into APIs with custom plugins—Salesforce, WSPay, Zapier, MailChimp, and more. And because they champion open source, clients keep ownership of their data, avoiding proprietary traps.
Enterprise IT teams no longer just worry about uptime; they demand data shielding and compliance. Neuralab prepares for GDPR and ISO 27001 audits, then locks down processes in clear guides. They choose managed WordPress hosts like Kinsta on Google Cloud, and monitor uptime with StatusCake, error tracking with Rollbar, and real-user metrics in New Relic. Alerts tie into Slack so any anomaly rings an alarm in real time.
Every client gets a bespoke theme and custom plugin suite. Neuralab treats WooCommerce Memberships as a standard feature, adds Subscriptions for retention and uses its own wp.watch service for enterprise site health monitoring. Recent builds include booking engines for Discover Croatia and B2B purchase orders and discount tiers for OTRUSA tires.
On the hospitality front, Discover Croatia taps into Neuralab’s booking module to manage memberships, subscriptions, and a suite of attractions. The custom front end makes searching hotels feel slick. In B2B retail, OTRUSA needed tiered pricing, purchase orders, and controlled content access. Neuralab merged WooCommerce with AgentCASH and SalesBinder under the hood to meet stringent corporate requirements. Biotium, a biotech supplier, cycles through three redesigns, each time pushing speed and user experience higher thanks to iterative testing and CRO workshops Neuralab runs after launch.
By blending agile Kanban with a deep understanding of enterprise workflows, Neuralab lands projects that scale. Sites launch faster, content teams learn to run the platform themselves, and IT departments breathe easier thanks to open-source freedom and strict security measures. Across continents, the same toolkit keeps development predictable and costs transparent.
Neuralab’s model proves that you don’t need to pick between flexibility, security, or client control. With smart process design, open-source tech, and custom integrations, they build e-commerce platforms ready for enterprise scrutiny. Whether it’s Zagreb, New York, or anywhere in between, this blueprint can guide any e-commerce agency aiming for high-value clients.
