Fast, reliable and ready for peaks
Retail & E-commerce
Shops and marketplaces win on speed, choice and trust. We help modernise the platforms behind them, add recommendation and automation, and keep them steady through peak days.
Problems we help with
- A storefront and back office that cannot keep up on peak days
- Stock, orders and payments held in systems that do not talk to each other
- Search and recommendations that feel generic
- Releases that freeze before every sale
- Cloud costs that spike with traffic
What to plan for
- Traffic peaks many times above normal load
- Payment and card-data rules such as PCI DSS, to be confirmed with your compliance team
- Accurate stock across channels
- Fast pages on weak mobile connections
- Customer data and consent rules that differ by country
This is a list of things to design for, not a statement of compliance. Your own compliance team decides what applies to you.

Questions
Can you help before a big sale?
Yes. A short review of load, the release process and monitoring is a quick way to find the biggest risks before the peak.
Do you build storefronts?
Yes, web and mobile apps on one API contract, as part of our digital product engineering work.
Can you improve search and recommendations?
Yes. We start with how they perform today, test every change against that, and keep the cost within what you can predict.
What we can show today
We have not built a retail platform for a client, and we say so. What we can show is the ranking engine in our own product: scores prepared overnight, served from a cache, checked again when served, and still working if the cache is down.
