Are you ready to move towards a more unified commerce experience? While replatforming might seem daunting, it’s a vital step to ensure your business stays agile and competitive. With SCAYLE, you can streamline this process to make even the most complex migrations smooth and efficient. Here’s how we’ll guide you through this transformative journey.

Strategic Planning & Scoping

Every successful transition begins with meticulous planning. Together, we’ll dive deep into your specific requirements to align them with a unified commerce strategy. After prioritizing these needs, we’ll define clear roles and responsibilities, ensuring efficient collaboration between your team and our in-house experts.

Blueprinting Your Unified Commerce Architecture

After the planning phase, we’ll craft a tailored architecture blueprint that aligns with your business objectives. This is the moment to rethink and refine your existing systems. Traditional monolithic platforms often hinder growth and adaptability, making unified commerce a game-changing alternative. “Oftentimes, customers come to us with an IT architecture that has grown and developed over a long time. That structure might be unnecessarily complicated and stand in the way of future development,” says Dennis Poteski, Senior Solution Architect at SCAYLE.

Together, we’ll deep dive into your individual use case and define the requirements for your new and improved shop system.

Is your current setup holding you back?

Customer expectations evolve rapidly, especially in fast-paced B2C markets. Outdated, complex systems can hinder your ability to deliver seamless, agile customer experiences.

Core Components: Shop Structure, Checkout, and Frontend

A unified commerce architecture involves three main elements:

1. Shop Structure: Whether you retain your current setup or streamline it for efficiency, SCAYLE adapts to your unique needs. Simplified structures can significantly reduce operational friction.

2. Checkout Optimization: SCAYLE’s white-label checkout solution ensures fast, reliable, and customizable processes. The boilerplate design accelerates setup, enhances conversions, and supports localized preferences for global adaptability.

3. Frontend Versatility: SCAYLE offers flexible frontend integration options. Build your own, leverage a frontend-as-a-service solution, or use SCAYLE’s Storefront Core for rapid deployment. The choice depends on your in-house resources and specific frontend requirements.

Migrating to a new shop system is the perfect time to rid yourself of inflexible setups.

Optimizing Data for Unified Commerce Scalability

A critical step in achieving unified commerce is ensuring your databases are scalable. As customer volumes and transactions grow, traditional databases may falter under pressure. SCAYLE employs strategies like sharding and partitioning to optimize data handling.

Dennis elaborates: “There are two main ways of structuring databases: sharding and partitioning. While both reduce the data stored in a single database by dividing it into smaller sections, they do so in different ways. Which one you choose can depend on the kind of data you need to process.” These strategies enable your IT infrastructure to grow seamlessly with your business needs.

Ensuring Quality with Rigorous Testing

After setting up your unified commerce architecture, we focus on quality assurance. Data is cleansed, mapped, and imported into the new system. Extensive end-to-end testing ensures every process runs flawlessly. SCAYLE also provides comprehensive training and resources to empower your team to make the most of the new platform.

Final Data Migration & Unified Commerce Go-Live

The last steps involve final data migration and the official switch to SCAYLE’s unified commerce platform. We plan every detail of the go-live phase, including contingency playbooks. Once live, SCAYLE’s monitoring ensures optimal performance while you celebrate a successful launch.

The SCAYLE team will closely monitor your shop’s performance after go-live to ensure a smooth transition.
