Where Performance Is Measured in Conversions, Not Just Uptime

In e-commerce, every 100ms of latency costs conversions. Every failed checkout is lost revenue. And Black Friday doesn't accept excuses. Our team has built platforms that handle traffic spikes, optimize checkout flows, and keep inventory accurate across every channel.

The Challenge

E-Commerce Has No Room for
"We'll Fix It Later"

Every Millisecond Costs Conversions

Amazon found that every 100ms of latency costs 1% in sales. Your customers expect the same speed. Slow sites don't just frustrate users — they send them to competitors with faster checkouts.

Black Friday Doesn't Accept Excuses

Traffic spikes are predictable but devastating if you're not ready. The revenue lost during a 30-minute outage on Black Friday can exceed your entire development budget. Generic agencies don't think about load testing.

Inventory Accuracy Is Trust

"In stock" that isn't, or "sold out" that wasn't — inventory mismatches destroy customer trust. Multi-channel retail makes this harder. Your inventory system must be real-time and accurate, or customers won't come back.

"In retail, the technical and the commercial are inseparable. A checkout that takes 3 seconds instead of 300ms isn't a technical problem — it's a revenue problem. Our team builds e-commerce platforms with that understanding."
— Gautam Thapa, CEO
E-Commerce Capabilities

E-Commerce Systems Our Team Has Built

Deep experience across the retail spectrum — from high-traffic storefronts to real-time inventory sync.

High-Traffic Storefronts

Built for Black Friday, every day

E-commerce platforms that handle 10K+ concurrent users without breaking a sweat. Our team designs architectures that scale horizontally, cache intelligently, and degrade gracefully — so traffic spikes are opportunities, not emergencies.

What We Deliver

  • Sub-200ms page load performance
  • Mobile-first optimization (53% of traffic is mobile)
  • Auto-scaling infrastructure
  • CDN integration and edge caching
  • Database read replicas and connection pooling
  • Load testing and capacity planning

Technical Approach

JAMstack/headless commerce for speed, Redis caching, CloudFront/Fastly CDN, horizontal pod autoscaling.

Checkout Optimization

Every step costs conversions

Checkout abandonment averages 70%. Every extra field, every slow payment, every confusing step costs you sales. We build checkout flows optimized for conversion — fast, simple, and trustworthy.

What We Deliver

  • One-page checkout experiences
  • Guest checkout with account creation post-purchase
  • Multiple payment method integration
  • Address autocomplete and validation
  • Cart recovery and abandonment flows

Technical Approach

Progressive form validation, payment tokenization, optimistic UI updates, session persistence.

Inventory & Order Management

Real-time accuracy across channels

Multi-channel retail demands inventory accuracy. Overselling destroys trust. Underselling loses revenue. We build inventory systems that sync in real-time across online, retail, and marketplace channels.

What We Deliver

  • Real-time inventory synchronization
  • Multi-warehouse management
  • Order routing and fulfillment optimization
  • Backorder and preorder handling
  • Returns and exchange processing

Technical Approach

Event-driven architecture for real-time sync, distributed locking for inventory reservations, CQRS for read/write optimization.

Personalization & Recommendations

The right product, right time, right customer

Generic product listings leave money on the table. Personalized recommendations can drive 20%+ revenue uplift. We build personalization engines that understand customer behavior and surface relevant products.

What We Deliver

  • AI-powered product recommendations
  • Personalized search results
  • Dynamic pricing capabilities
  • Customer segmentation
  • A/B testing infrastructure

Technical Approach

Collaborative filtering, real-time behavioral tracking, feature stores for ML, experimentation frameworks.

Performance Targets That Matter

We set performance budgets from day one. These aren't aspirations — they're requirements backed by revenue data.

Key Principle: Performance Is Revenue

Amazon found that every 100ms of latency costs 1% in sales. We architect for speed from the foundation — edge caching, lazy loading, database read replicas, CDN optimization. Performance isn't an afterthought; it's the architecture.
