E-Commerce
We build, host and manage e-commerce platforms, custom built or on Shopify and other platforms. E-commerce is a core part of our business, and we have been building platforms for decades, often for specialty retail. We focus on security, on speed that holds through seasonal peaks, and on integration with the payment, ERP and fulfillment systems you depend on.
What we do
E-commerce built around how you sell
We help businesses thrive online by creating the environments their e-commerce platforms need and by maintaining technological leadership.
-
Specialty retail
Much of our e-commerce work is in specialty retail, and we have been building e-commerce platforms for decades.
-
Custom built
Most of our platforms are custom built around how the business sells, not adapted from a template.
-
Configurable products
Platforms tailored to the product being sold, however complex its configuration: millions of SKUs, and products with dozens of configurable attributes each.
-
Shopify and other platforms
We also manage systems on Shopify and on several other platforms.
-
Any language
We have built e-commerce systems in many languages, so we choose what fits the job and are not tied to one stack.
-
Integration
We integrate with ERP systems for the transactional side of fulfillment, with fulfillment facilities, with the third-party systems the platform needs and with your existing business applications.

Built to carry your peaks
A platform that grows with your sales
We build networks that are capable of growth, so a large traffic spike, such as a seasonal peak, is carried instead of causing an outage.
-
01
Size
We start with how you sell.
What we do
Identify what the platform needs and how much traffic it carries, including the busiest weeks of your year.
What you get
An environment sized to your business, not a generic template.
-
02
Build
Built in the right environment.
What we do
Build the platform custom, in a managed hosting environment or in the cloud, on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, whichever fits.
What you get
A platform in the environment that suits it.
-
03
Prepare for peaks
Seasonality is planned for.
What we do
Plan capacity and use load balancing, so a traffic spike, such as a seasonal peak or a promotion, is carried instead of causing an outage.
What you get
A store that stays available during peak demand.
-
04
Grow
Capacity follows your sales.
What we do
Watch metrics and analytics on traffic and add capacity before it is needed, so the platform can grow over time without a rebuild.
What you get
Room to grow, without a rebuild.
Hosting and PCI DSS
Hosted, secured and ready to grow
-
Managed hosting
We host and manage the platform, with 24/7 monitoring and a network designed around your requirements.
-
Cloud
Or we build it in the cloud, on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud, or on a hybrid of cloud and physical servers.
-
PCI DSS
Accepting cards brings PCI DSS requirements. We work with you to identify the requirements for your system and design the network around them.
Security and speed
Secure, fast and consistent at peak
The e-commerce platforms we build and manage are built to be secure, from the data they hold to the credit card transactions that pass through them. We have integrated directly with most of the large credit card gateways and payment companies.
Speed matters just as much. We build e-commerce platforms to be efficient and fast, and to keep that efficiency through peak seasonal traffic, not only in quiet periods.

AI
AI that builds and protects the platform
AI can help with data analysis and business success. We also use it on the platform itself: to build it out, to protect it, to watch over it and to keep it ahead over time.
-
Build and protect
AI agents, directed by our engineers, help us build out the platform and protect it.
-
Finding efficiencies
We use AI to identify the areas of the system that need additional efficiency.
-
Planning modernization
We use AI to identify the areas of the system that will need modernization over time, so the work can be planned.
-
Staying ahead
We use AI to identify the areas of the system that help maintain your competitive advantage.
-
Active agent monitoring
AI agents actively monitor the platform for trends and identify threats, with our engineers in charge.
-
Adapting faster
What the monitoring finds lets us adapt more quickly to growth requirements and to seasonal load.

- Can you build a platform for highly configurable products?

- How do you use AI on an e-commerce platform?
- Beyond data analysis and business success, we use AI on the platform itself, directed by our engineers: to build it out and protect it, and to identify the areas of the system that need additional efficiency, that will need modernization over time, and that help maintain your competitive advantage. Active AI agent monitoring also lets us watch trends and identify threats, and adapt more quickly to growth requirements and seasonal load.
- Which payment gateways do you integrate with?

- Is the platform fast, and does it stay fast at peak?
- Speed is a big part of what we do. We build e-commerce platforms to be efficient and fast, and to keep that efficiency through large traffic spikes and seasonal peaks, with capacity planning and load balancing, so a seasonal peak does not slow or interrupt the store.
