Who Launches New Commerce Platforms

Manufacturers Going Direct

You've sold through distributors for decades. Now you're launching direct-to-consumer to capture margin and own customer relationships.

B2B wholesale portal + B2C retail storefront on one platform, one inventory source. NetSuite integration.

The Transformation: Launch two channels in 7 months instead of building them sequentially over 2 years.

Retail Adding Ecommerce

You have brick-and-mortar locations and wholesale accounts. You need ecommerce that doesn't compete with your retail partners.

Consumer-facing storefront + dealer/distributor portal with territory protection. Inventory shared across physical + digital.

The Transformation: Grow digital revenue without alienating retail partners. One system, multiple channels, zero conflicts.

New Brand Launches

You're launching a new DTC brand, new product line, or spinning off a division as its own entity. You need professional ecommerce from day one.

Modern, fast, mobile-first storefront. Subscription billing if applicable. Scale-ready architecture.

The Transformation: Launch with infrastructure that supports $10M+ revenue. Build once, scale forever.

What Your Business Looks Like 7 Months After Kickoff

Most agencies talk about what they'll build. We're going to tell you what your business will look like when we're done.

You'll Handle Day-One Traffic Without Crashing

Others: Launch day panic. Will the site stay up? Did we load test enough? Fingers crossed it doesn't crash.

With Rocket Web:

Site handles 10,000 concurrent users without slowing down
95+ PageSpeed scores on mobile = fast loading even on 3G
Elastic infrastructure scales automatically during traffic spikes
You sleep through launch day instead of watching server metrics

ColoradoCyclist launched and immediately hit peak seasonal traffic. Zero downtime. Site stayed fast through Black Friday.

Orders Flow Into Your Systems Automatically

Others: Launch means someone manually enters every order into NetSuite or your ERP. Mistakes happen. You hire temps for peak season.

With Rocket Web:

Orders sync to NetSuite in real-time—no manual entry, no errors
Inventory updates every 15 minutes across all channels
Customer data flows bidirectionally—CRM always accurate
Your team focuses on customers, not data entry

Gopher Sport saves 20+ hours per week on order processing—time their team now spends growing the business instead of copying data between systems.

Customers Convert Because Your Site Is Fast

Others: You built a beautiful site, but it loads in 6 seconds on mobile. Half your visitors bounce before seeing your products.

With Rocket Web:

Sub-2 second page loads on mobile (even on slow connections)
95+ PageSpeed scores = 20-30% conversion rate improvement
Google ranks you higher (speed is a ranking factor)
ADA compliant out of the box

Rogers & Hollands saw significant PageSpeed improvements. Conversion rates improved, organic traffic increased because Google prioritizes fast sites. See the case study.

You Launch On Time and On Budget

Others: Agency says 12 months, delivers in 20. Budget doubles because of "scope changes." Launch gets pushed three times.

With Rocket Web:

Fixed timeline: 6-7 months from signed agreement to launch
Budget locked at signing—no surprise overages or scope creep
Weekly status updates—you always know exactly where you stand
30 days post-launch stabilization support included

You're Ready to Scale From Day One

Others: Build for year one, rebuild in year three when you outgrow it. Pay twice.

With Rocket Web:

Architecture supports 100K+ SKUs (even if you start with 500)
B2B and B2C on one platform (add channels without rebuilding)
Multi-warehouse inventory management built in
Handles $10M revenue with same infrastructure you launch with

How We Deliver in Half the Time

Most agencies start from scratch every time. We don't. We've completed 100+ launches using proven foundations, so dev time goes into your unique business logic—not rebuilding checkout for the 100th time.

Hyvä Theme Foundation

Modern frontend for Magento 2 that's pre-optimized for speed. 95+ PageSpeed scores out of the box (competitors average 40-60). 2-3 week frontend development vs 8-12 weeks custom theming. We're Hyvä Silver Partners—we know it inside and out.

NetSuite Connector

Our proprietary connector, 7 years in development, continuously improved. Real-time sync of orders, inventory, customers, pricing. No middleware (direct connection = faster, more reliable). Supports complex B2B scenarios.

Proven Module Library

Reusable components we've built across 100+ projects. Common features (advanced search, configurable products, B2B features) are already built. We customize for your needs, not build from zero. Tested, debugged, production-proven.

Refined Process

Frequently Asked Questions

"6-7 months sounds too good to be true. How do you do it?"

We've completed 100+ projects using proven foundations. Most agencies start from scratch each time—building checkout, configuring payment processing, setting up inventory management. We start with Hyvä theme (pre-optimized), our NetSuite Connector (7 years of development already done), and reusable modules we've built across hundreds of projects. Your dev time goes into your unique business logic, not rebuilding the wheel.

"What if we need custom features?"

Custom features are exactly why you need an agency, not a template. Our Hyvä foundation handles 90% of core commerce (checkout, account management, product display), so we spend dev time on what makes your business unique—custom pricing logic, specialized workflows, unique integrations. You get both: fast launch AND custom features.

"Do we need Adobe Commerce Enterprise or is Magento Open Source enough?"

It depends on multiple factors—B2B requirements, support needs, staging environments, and feature complexity. Enterprise has B2B features built in and includes Adobe support. Open Source handles large catalogs just fine. We're not Adobe sales reps—we recommend what fits your actual business based on your specific situation.

"What about post-launch support?"

Every new build includes 30 days of stabilization support (bug fixes, performance monitoring, answering questions). After that, 80% of clients move to managed services because we already know your codebase, can respond in hours not days, and provide ongoing optimization.

"Can you integrate with our existing systems?"

Yes. We integrate with ERPs (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics), CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot), PIMs (Akeneo, Salsify), and custom APIs. Our NetSuite Connector is proprietary (we built it), but we integrate with anything via API.

"What if our requirements change during the project?"

Scope changes are usually absorbed at no cost. The goal is to protect the timeline and focus on what's MVP vs. Fast Follow. We're realistic partners who understand priorities shift—we just make sure the core launch stays on track.

"What happens if you miss the deadline?"

We deliver on schedule with UAT (User Acceptance Testing). Once we hand off for UAT, it's up to your team to execute testing as planned. We've completed 100+ projects with a 100% delivery rate over 12+ years. We finish what we start.

"Why not just use Shopify or BigCommerce?"

Great question. Those platforms work well for under 2,000 SKUs, simple B2C only, no complex integrations. They don't work for over 10,000 SKUs (performance degrades), B2B requirements (territory management, customer-specific pricing), NetSuite integration, or high-volume traffic (Shopify charges per transaction). We build on Magento/Adobe Commerce because you won't outgrow it. But if Shopify fits your needs, we'll tell you honestly.

Stop talking to agencies that promise 12 months and deliver in 24. We've done this 100 times. We know exactly how long it takes. We deliver on time, on budget, ready to scale.

What happens on the call (60 minutes):

Your business (10 min) — Tell us about your launch goals, timeline, constraints
Technical requirements (35 min) — We ask detailed questions about SKUs, integrations, B2B needs, existing systems, and custom requirements
Ballpark estimate (10 min) — We give you realistic timeline + budget range

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just honest technical conversation.
