The managing director of Booztlet, Mads Neble, recently took the stage at the Online Business conference in Aarhus, Denmark. He received great feedback for his keynote regarding how to achieve a big impact through small adjustments where he shared concrete strategies and methods to optimise your business and achieve significant results regarding increasing e-commerce revenue.
Boozt CEO and co-founder Hermann Haraldsson and CFO Sandra Gadd attended the Barclays Digital and Disruptive Technology Conference in London. The event included a series of productive meetings with international investors which were updated on the latest developments, such as our SEK 500 million investment in Boozt Fulfilment Centre to increase total warehouse capacity with up to 50% over a three year period. Boozt is The Nordic Department Store and we remain focused on fast delivery, a curated selection, competitive prices and the best customer service.
"I had the opportunity and pleasure of attending the DevBCN Conference in Barcelona last week ๐คฉ๐ช๐ธ The talks were fascinating, especially those highlighting the dangers of blindly trusting LLMs and common pitfalls in frontend projects. I met and connected with fantastic people from around the globe and had the pleasure of meeting sponsors like Revolut , Step4ward and PremAI Excited to apply what I've learned and grateful for the new friendships and connections I have made. Until next time, Barcelona!"

"We all buzz with excitement about interesting events that break our routine, like conferences. But daily work can also be fun and exciting if you share your experience with great teammates. If you add on top of that regular knowledge-sharing events and initiatives that become part of montlhy/weekly/daily routine, it gets even better. Bringing inspiration, excitement, and fun to daily work is part of the culture and become second nature for the team. With that, sooner or later, innovation will come. Today, we had our bi-weekly Poznan Boozt Meetup. While snacking delicious chicken in a distinguished company, we discussed the pros and cons of using ORMs and working without them. Dawid Jurga and Mateusz Rusin explained how they work without ORM, how they organize the code. It was nice to see how they used that simple change to force themselves to achieve better layer separations and code organization. Even if they admit that there is a higher cost in the context of writing more code and maintaining a bigger code base, they gain on application performance, remove the temptations of using shortcuts, and gain great code readability and easiness of debugging possible issues. After a discussion that followed their presentation, we all agreed that, as usual, it all depends, and such an approach may not work for everyone. ORM also has a lot of benefits. <...>."
