Software engineering for retail & ecommerce
Conversion is a performance problem as much as a design one. We build commerce systems that hold up during a campaign and keep inventory honest across every channel.
Where it usually hurts
- Peak-traffic stability
- Multi-channel inventory accuracy
- Checkout abandonment
- Personalisation without creepiness
What we build here
- Headless commerce storefronts
- Inventory and order management
- Recommendation engines
- Marketplace and vendor portals
How we build here
One team owns the interface, the API layer, the services and the data, so a compliance question or an integration failure has a single owner rather than three vendors pointing at each other.
System architecture
Built for the audit you have not booked yet
Security bolted on late is expensive and rarely convincing. These four are how we build regardless of whether a compliance requirement is on the brief.
Least privilege by default
Every service, job and human gets the narrowest access that lets them do their work. That gets decided at design time, not patched in after a review.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Standard, boring, correct. Keys managed in a vault, rotated, and never committed to a repository.
Auditable by construction
Who changed what, when, and on whose authority. Recorded because the system was built to record it, not because someone remembered to add a log line.
Evidence ready
We engineer to the controls behind GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 and prepare the technical evidence auditors ask for. Certification itself is issued by an accredited auditor, not by us.
Defence in depth
Technology
