Which commerce platforms do you implement?

We implement Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, and BigCommerce. We help you choose the right platform during discovery based on your business model, scale, and integration requirements.

How long does a commerce implementation typically take?

A focused Shopify Plus build with standard integrations can complete in twelve to sixteen weeks. A full Salesforce Commerce Cloud implementation with enterprise integrations typically runs twenty to thirty weeks. We scope timelines during discovery and build phased delivery plans that allow earlier partial launches where appropriate.

How do you handle scope creep during delivery?

We use a defined scope document agreed before development begins, and a structured change control process for any additions or modifications during delivery. Changes are assessed for timeline and cost impact before approval, so the team always has full visibility.

Do you work alongside our internal development team?

Yes. We can lead the implementation with your team in a supporting role, work as an embedded delivery partner, or take full ownership with handover at go-live. We align the engagement model to your existing team structure.

What integrations do you typically build as part of a commerce implementation?

The most common integrations are CRM, OMS, payment gateway, shipping management, email marketing, search, product review platforms, and analytics. We map all integration requirements during discovery and build them as part of the implementation, not as afterthoughts.

How do you handle go-live risk?

We run a pre-launch checklist covering integrations, redirects, payment processing, analytics, and performance. We manage a defined go-live window with the team on standby, monitor closely for the first 48 hours, and provide a stabilisation period to address any post-launch issues quickly.

Can you support us after launch?

Yes. Post-launch support is available through our Managed Commerce Support service, providing ongoing bug fixing, feature enhancements, integration maintenance, and campaign support on a retainer basis. Many implementation clients transition directly to a managed support retainer at go-live.

The Problem

Commerce Builds Fail When Delivery Is Under-Structured

IMPLEMENTATION RISKS

Building a commerce platform is rarely as straightforward as it looks. Scope expands, integrations take longer than expected, third-party dependencies cause delays, and last-minute changes break timelines.

Teams that start without a structured delivery framework find themselves in late-stage crises: missed deadlines, unfinished integrations, and launches that happen under pressure rather than under control.

The most expensive commerce projects are those where the structure was wrong from the start, not where the technology was difficult.

Most commerce implementation failures are delivery failures, not technology failures.

Scope Creep and Delays

Poorly scoped projects expand during delivery, missing deadlines, exceeding budgets, and launching under pressure rather than under control.

Integration Failures at Launch

Third-party integrations not properly tested before go-live fail at the worst possible time: during the launch window.

Platform Mismatch

Choosing the wrong platform for a business model creates years of workarounds, custom development overhead, and eventual replatforming cost.

Underestimated Configuration

Commerce platforms require significant configuration that teams consistently underestimate before a project starts.

Our Solution

We manage the full implementation lifecycle from discovery and platform setup through to storefront build, integrations, testing, and launch. Our delivery approach is structured around defined phases with clear milestones, so stakeholders always know where the project stands and what comes next.

Discovery

We define requirements, map integrations, assess data migration needs, agree platform configuration, and produce a clear project scope and delivery plan.

Platform Configuration

We set up and configure the commerce platform covering catalogue, pricing, checkout, tax, account management, and all required business rules.

Storefront Build

We design and build the storefront, applying the brand design, developing custom components, and delivering a performant, tested frontend.

Integration Build

We build and test integrations with all required business systems: CRM, OMS, payment, shipping, search, and marketing platforms.

Testing and UAT

We run structured functional, integration, performance, and cross-browser testing plus supported UAT sessions with the client team.

Go-Live and Support

We manage the go-live process, monitor post-launch stability, and provide a dedicated support period to resolve any issues quickly.

What We Deliver

Everything Needed to Build and Launch a Commerce Platform

Platform Setup and Configuration

Configure the commerce platform to business requirements: catalogue structure, pricing rules, checkout flow, and account management.

Storefront Development

Build the storefront experience including theme development, custom components, and a responsive, performant frontend your customers expect.

Integration Delivery

Why Innovadel

The Commerce Delivery Partner Businesses Trust

Multi-Platform Delivery Depth

We have delivered commerce implementations across SFCC, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, and BigCommerce, giving us platform-specific knowledge that generic delivery partners cannot match.

Structured Delivery Approach

We use a consistent delivery framework across all implementations: defined discovery, phased delivery, managed go-live, and transparent communication throughout.

Full-Stack Integration Capability

We build the commerce platform and all of its integrations, ensuring the full stack works together from day one, not just the storefront.

Engagement Models

How We Structure Engagements

Fixed-Scope Implementation

Best for projects with well-defined requirements, a clear platform choice, and a firm delivery timeline.

Phased Delivery

Best for larger builds where an earlier partial launch reduces time-to-revenue before the full integration suite is complete.

Dedicated Delivery Team

Best for enterprise implementations that need a full cross-functional delivery team over an extended period.

Implementation and Support

Best for teams that want to transition seamlessly from implementation into a managed support retainer at go-live.
