Whether you’re a mid-sized retailer looking to accelerate online growth or an enterprise seeking a reliable long-term e-commerce partner, in this article you will find the knowledge and answers of what a partnership with The Commerce Team entails.  

What makes our team different, and why so many e-commerce leaders trust us to deliver digital solutions that truly matter?

‍

Standards & Quality

Trusted by over 50+ leading brands and have delivered 250+ digital projects for global retailers, we have built a reputation for uncompromising standards and quality in every deliverable.  

How?

• Well-defined standards and best practices at every step. Our development processes include thorough quality assurance testing, code reviews, and performance optimisation to ensure that the solutions work flawlessly under real-world conditions.  

• Proven frameworks and accelerators to maintain consistency and reduce errors. For example, our teams leverage pre-built components and automation tools that have been refined over dozens of implementations.  

• Clear and timely communication. Issues are anticipated and addressed proactively, and projects are delivered on time and within scope.

‍

Expertise & Knowledge

Our team is composed of seasoned e-commerce professionals, many of whom carry industry certifications and have worked on a multitude of platforms and technologies. From Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Magento, BigCommerce, Shopify, SCAYLE and beyond, our engineers and consultants have 20+ years of experience tackling e-commerce challenges across platforms and industries.

This breadth and depth of knowledge means we’re equipped to recommend and implement the best-fit solutions for your specific needs.

How?

• Certified resources. We invest heavily in training and certification – our developers, architects, and project leads are certified in leading commerce technologies and agile methodologies.  

• Not only agency-side experience. Many of our experts have been in the shoes of e-commerce business owners and managers, so we understand the commercial and operational considerations behind technical decisions. We use this knowledge to deliver practical solutions (not theoretical ones).  

• Tried-and-tested approaches that solve real business problems over trendy ideas that sound good on paper but don't move the needle. For example, instead of pushing an over-engineered solution, we might leverage a reliable out-of-the-box feature that achieves 90% of the desired outcome at a fraction of the cost and complexity.  

Value & Cost

We recognise the importance of value for cost delivering solutions that justify every pound (or dollar) invested and then some. This starts with a mindset of commercial flexibility: we tailor our engagement models to fit the financial and operational needs of your business.

Whether you prefer a fixed-price project for clear scope, a time-and-materials approach for agility, or a long-term retainer for ongoing development, we can accommodate it.  

How?

• Focus on the KPIs and business objectives that matter most to you. We then align our solutions to hit those targets. We lean on practical solutions that deliver quick wins and long-term gains, ensuring you get a strong return on investment.  

• Transparency in our pricing and work. If a certain feature or request will add cost without commensurate value, we’ll advise against it, even if it means a smaller contract for us. This is because we aim to build trust and save our clients’ money in the long run.  

Many of our clients find that partnering with The Commerce Team Global is more cost-effective than maintaining the equivalent capabilities in-house or engaging larger consultancies, all while getting superior quality and expertise.

Delivery

We have honed a delivery approach that emphasizes both speed and low risk, ensuring that our clients can seize market opportunities quickly without compromising stability or quality, with over 250+ releases a year on average across our client projects.

How?

• Agile methodologies, enabling us to adapt to changes and deliver in iterative cycles that produce tangible results early and often.  

• Excellence in project and process management. We start by defining clear project roadmaps and milestones, so everyone knows what to expect and when.

• Transparency in delivery. We provide regular updates, demo sessions, and access to project tracking tools if desired, so you have full visibility into progress.

• Post-launch support and continuous improvement. We stand by our work with robust support services – our Operate & Support teams are ready to jump in if any issue emerges, and our Ideas & Innovation teams are thinking about the next iteration or enhancement even as the current project wraps up.  

Long-Term Partnerships

We believe in the importance of forming long-term, trusted relationships with clients and we aim to become an ongoing partner who contributes to your success for years to come. A key strategy we use to achieve this is working through embedded teams.

How?

• Build trust and familiarity. Over time, our team learns the intricacies of your business almost as well as an employee would. This deep context means we can deliver fast solution that are highly tailored to your reality.

• Drive efficiency and proactivity. We can proactively propose ideas and improvements without waiting for formal project kick-offs. If an opportunity or threat in the market emerges our embedded team is right there with you to brainstorm and implement responses swiftly.  

• Reduce risk and provides continuity. Staff turnover or changes on the client side are less disruptive because our team retains the knowledge and can help onboard new client-side stakeholders.  

• Take accountability for the outcomes beyond just delivering a scope. We stick around to see how it impacts your business, gather feedback, and continuously improve.
