Engagement

Strategy + Build + Rollout

Primary Outcome

40% faster launches and more consistent checkout performance.

Challenge

The Challenge

Each brand was running separate commerce logic, creating duplicated work and inconsistent customer experiences.

  • Product and pricing changes had to be repeated for every storefront.
  • Checkout behavior varied by domain, reducing trust and conversion.
  • Ops teams lacked shared governance for promotions and release cycles.

Solution

The Approach

We created a shared architecture with domain-level flexibility and centralized operational control.

Commerce Core Design

Defined reusable modules for catalog, pricing, checkout, and promotions.

Pilot Rollout

Launched the first high-volume storefront on the new stack and refined migration playbooks.

Portfolio Expansion

Migrated additional domains using repeatable deployment and QA workflows.

Deliverables

Case Study

More Context

Additional details from the engagement.

A multi-brand retail operation needed to modernize fast without risking day-to-day revenue. We partnered with their team to sequence migration by business risk, launch the new core with one high-volume brand, and then scale across the full portfolio.

This phased rollout protected ongoing sales while creating a foundation for faster experimentation, cleaner governance, and a better customer experience.
