eCommerce Challenges That Limit Growth

01

Current e-commerce platform is slow, outdated, or can’t scale?

02

E-commerce disconnected from your ERP — orders manually re-entered?

03

Need B2B e-commerce (customer pricing, accounts, quotes) not just B2C?

04

Legacy platform (Magento 1, custom PHP) needs replacing?

What We Do

Payments, shipping, and analytics

We integrate payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Square), shipping (FedEx, UPS), and analytics — the operational backbone of e-commerce.

B2B eCommerce — building self-service ordering

AI Is Redefining What eCommerce Can Do (2026)

In 2026, e-commerce is being reshaped by two forces: headless architecture (decoupled, composable, API-first) and AI (search, recommendations, personalisation). Customers expect to describe what they want in natural language and get the right product — not scroll through filters. They expect personalised experiences, not one-size-fits-all catalogues. And the businesses winning are the ones whose e-commerce platforms are fast, integrated with their ERP, and powered by AI that understands what customers want.

01

AI search replaces keyword filtering — customers describe what they need; AI returns the right products

02

Personalisation is expected — returning customers see relevant products, not a generic homepage

03

Headless enables speed — decoupled frontends load faster and deploy independently of the commerce backend
04
ERP integration is non-negotiable — disconnected e-commerce creates manual work, inventory errors, and unhappy customers

Do we need custom e-commerce or will Shopify work?

Shopify can fit standard B2C stores that need a fast launch and moderate customisation. Custom or headless commerce is usually better for B2B pricing, complex workflows, deep ERP integration, custom checkout, or AI-led search requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom ASP.NET Core / Blazor on Azure (full control), headless commerce (decoupled frontend + commerce API), Shopify (B2C, fast launch), and WooCommerce (WordPress ecosystem). We recommend based on your business model, not our preference.

Yes — B2B commerce is a core strength. We build customer-specific pricing, account management, quote requests, credit terms, bulk ordering, and approval workflows. This typically requires custom development, not a standard Shopify store.

Yes — we integrate with Dynamics 365, SAP, NetSuite, and other ERPs. Orders, inventory, customer data, and pricing sync automatically in real-time. This eliminates manual re-entry and keeps inventory accurate.

A decoupled architecture: the frontend (what customers see) is separate from the commerce backend (products, orders, payments). The frontend communicates via API. Benefits: faster page loads, independent deployment, and the ability to serve multiple channels (web, mobile, kiosk) from one commerce backend.

Yes — using Azure AI Search and Azure OpenAI. Customers describe what they need in natural language (not just keywords), and AI returns relevant products. We also implement AI-powered product recommendations based on browsing and purchase history.

Cost depends on scope, integrations, catalogue size, platform, and testing needs. The estimator uses $400–$600 per project day to create a planning range. A consultation confirms the scope, timeline, and fixed estimate.

Yes — we migrate from Magento (1 and 2), custom PHP stores, and other legacy platforms. Products, categories, customers, orders, and SEO (URLs, redirects) are preserved during migration

Yes — we integrate Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, and other payment gateways. For B2B: credit terms, purchase orders, and invoicing.
