One-Stop Shop to Enable Your Best Commerce Platform Yet
To meet consumer expectations, many ecommerce leaders have taken on replatforming initiatives to implement more robust commerce solutions. Their current platforms are brittle, do not offer business users the tools they need to deploy desired commerce experiences, and prevent agility with old business processes and complex deployment methodologies.1
Ecommerce platforms are among the quickest to reach obsolescence of any technology in the retail industry, which is a testament to the blazing speed of change that characterizes the online world.2 According to the 2018 RIS Retail Technology Study, year after year the survey finds that roughly a third of retailers believe their ecommerce platforms are up-to-date, a third are either updating them now or will start soon, and a third will begin within two years. As retailers strive to drive traffic, increase conversion and basket size, all while maintaining data privacy, it’s no wonder they are leaning on partners that can navigate this terrain and accelerate their time to market.
What if you could partner with an experienced team whose been there, done that? What if this team gathered your business requirements, provided UI and UX design, development and QA, project management, and post-launch services? Sound too good to be true?
