The Challenge

The email production process was slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Emails were manually coded, leading to long development times, frequent errors, and inconsistencies across campaigns. The company needed a standardized, scalable system to reduce development time, improve performance, and ensure design consistency.

Using MJML instead of tables to create the email templates, we reduced the development time from two days to one hour. This improvement allowed ProGroup X to respond more quickly to market demands and client needs. We were also able to debug email templates when checking for ISP and device compatibility.
