Retail eCommerce Platform
High-performance online store with inventory management, order tracking, and analytics.
The Challenge
The Problem That Existed
RetailPlus ran an online store that struggled during traffic peaks, had inventory that did not stay in sync between the store and warehouse, and offered a checkout with enough friction that staff were fielding order questions by phone.
Before / After
From Friction to Flow
How disconnected manual work becomes an integrated system.
Before
- Manual processes
- Disconnected systems
- Data in silos
After
- A faster storefront
- Inventory sync
- Order tracking
- Commerce analytics
Requirements
What Needed to Be Built
The outcomes the project had to deliver.
A faster storefront
Page loads fast enough that traffic peaks do not hurt conversions.
Inventory sync
Store and warehouse stock in one shared view, updated as orders and deliveries happen.
Order tracking
Customers able to see order status without calling.
Commerce analytics
Sales, margin, and funnel data the team can read directly.
The Solution
How the Software Solved It
We built a custom eCommerce platform with a static-first storefront for speed, a single inventory pool shared by the store and warehouse, order management with status visibility for customers, and an analytics view of sales and margin. Checkout was rebuilt around fewer steps and guest purchase.

Architecture
Technical Approach
A Nuxt-based storefront served statically with edge caching, backed by a Laravel commerce API. Inventory is a single source of truth consumed by the storefront, order management, and warehouse workflows, so every channel reads the same stock numbers.
Nuxt storefront
Static-first pages with edge caching for fast loads at peak.
Laravel commerce API
Catalog, cart, checkout, orders, and inventory behind one API.
Shared inventory pool
One stock source used by storefront and warehouse.
Stripe payments
Checkout and payment processing integrated directly.
Features
The Most Important Features
The capabilities that did the heavy lifting.
Fast, static-first storefront
Edge-served pages that hold up during peak traffic.
Unified inventory
Store and warehouse read the same stock numbers.
Order tracking
Status visible to customers and staff at every step.
Commerce analytics
Sales, margin, and funnel visibility for the team.
Outcome
What Changed
Verified outcomes only. Where numbers are unavailable, we describe the qualitative result.
Resilient at peak
The storefront was load-tested for expected peaks and is served from cache rather than rendering on demand.
One inventory view
Store and warehouse now share a single stock source instead of reconciling separate counts.
Self-service order status
Customers can track orders directly, reducing status calls to staff.

The technologies the team used to build and run the platform.
Development
Technology & Implementation
Built in stages: catalog and inventory first, then checkout and payments, then order management and analytics. The storefront was load-tested against expected peak traffic before launch, and the old store stayed live until the new platform was proven.
