Tech Stack Planning
Whether you're auditing what you've already built or architecting something new - we map your full stack, identify the gaps, and give you a sequenced roadmap before anything gets built or changed.
Every layer of your stack.
Auto parts eCommerce has more moving parts than most verticals. We evaluate each layer independently and then as a system - because the failure mode is usually in how the pieces connect, not the pieces themselves.
Commerce Platform
The storefront and checkout engine. We evaluate fit against catalog size, fitment complexity, customization needs, and total cost of ownership.
PIM / Catalog
Where product data lives, gets enriched, and gets pushed. Critical for any retailer managing fitment data across multiple brands.
ERP / Accounting
Your financial and operational backbone. We evaluate what needs to sync - inventory, orders, pricing - and the best method to do it.
Warehouse & Fulfillment
Distributor feeds, dropship routing, and label generation. We map what you carry against what can be automated.
Fitment Engine
The YMM lookup, compatibility validation, and vehicle database that powers accurate search. Often the most underestimated layer.
Marketing & Analytics
Ad platforms, email, and tracking infrastructure. We audit what's in place and flag gaps in attribution before they become expensive.
Audit or greenfield - we do both.
The approach is different depending on where you're starting from. Both end in the same place: a clear, written deliverable you can act on.
Stack Audit
You've got systems in place but things aren't connecting cleanly - data is siloed, manual work is creeping in, or you're about to outgrow what you built on. We document what you have, identify the friction points, and hand you a clear picture of what to fix and in what order.
- Current state map of every system and data flow
- Gap & risk assessment
- Prioritized recommendation list
- Rough effort/cost ranges for each change
Greenfield Planning
Starting from scratch or switching platforms is the best opportunity to get the architecture right. We scope the full stack before anything is built - commerce platform, PIM, ERP connection, fitment engine, and marketing infrastructure - so you're not retrofitting decisions made in a hurry.
- Platform recommendations with trade-off notes
- Integration architecture diagram
- Build sequence and dependency map
- Vendor shortlist with intro context
A straightforward process.
No multi-week discovery sprints. No templated output. We go deep on your specific situation and come back with something you can hand to your team.
Intake Call
We start with a 60-minute call to understand your business: volume, catalog complexity, current systems, team size, and what's actually painful right now.
Systems Review
You share access or documentation for existing systems. We map every tool, every data flow, and every manual touchpoint in the current setup.
Analysis
We evaluate fit against your scale, growth trajectory, and what the automotive eCommerce ecosystem actually supports well at your tier.
Deliverable
You get a written document: current state, recommended state, rationale, and a sequenced roadmap. No slide decks, no vague suggestions.
This engagement is right for you if...
You're evaluating a platform change and want to understand the full impact before committing
Your current stack has too many manual steps and you want a clear picture of what to automate first
You're starting a new build and want architecture recommendations before vendor contracts are signed
You've outgrown your current setup and need a roadmap to scale without rebuilding everything
You're inheriting a system from a previous agency and need to know what you're actually working with
You want a second opinion before a major infrastructure decision
After the plan, we can build it too.
Not sure where to start?
