For ecommerce businesses, success hinges on a platform that is not just functional but also scalable and seamlessly integrated. From optimizing performance to simplifying complex product catalogs, the right technology is the backbone of a thriving digital operation.
Classy Llama has worked with businesses across industries to tackle these challenges using Adobe Commerce, a powerful ecommerce platform that provides advanced customization, scalability, and seamless integrations to support growing businesses. Whether optimizing performance, managing complex product catalogs, or enhancing user experience, Adobe Commerce offers the flexibility and tools needed to drive success.
Below are a few real-world examples of how our expertise has transformed ecommerce platforms, driving growth and efficiency for clients.
Bringing an Aviation Supplier’s Ecommerce Platform Up to Speed
After a failed website launch left an aviation parts supplier struggling with integration issues and inefficiencies, they turned to Classy Llama to rebuild their digital presence from the ground up. Its business depended on seamless integration between its ecommerce platform, enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and Microsoft 365—something the previous system couldn’t support effectively.
Classy Llama helped consolidate multiple websites into a single, user-friendly Adobe Commerce platform, ensuring a more streamlined sales process. The new site improved security, functionality, and user experience, shifting the company from traditional offline sales to a stronger online presence.
Following the launch, the supplier saw:
- A 75% increase in revenue within months
- A 20% rise in order volume
- User traffic growing from 40,000 to nearly 175,000
By focusing on usability and integration, the company enhanced its customer experience and operational efficiency.
Modernizing an Agricultural Parts Supplier’s Ecommerce Platform
Managing a catalog of over 625,000 SKUs across 20,000+ categories is no small task. For one agricultural parts supplier, an outdated custom-built ecommerce platform made basic updates difficult, slowed down site performance, and hurt SEO rankings.
A move to Adobe Commerce with a Hyvä front end, a lightweight and highly optimized Magento theme, helped address these issues by improving speed, navigation, and administrative control. The improvements resulted in:
- Pages loading up to 10x faster
- Enhanced search and filtering for easier product discovery
- Custom shipping logic tailored to the company’s diverse product range
- A scalable foundation for future growth
With these changes, the company could manage its catalog more efficiently and provide a better shopping experience for customers.
Overcoming Migration Challenges for AFE
AFE, a performance parts brand specializing in high-performance automotive components, had spent four years trying to migrate from open-source platforms Magento 1 to Magento 2 with another provider—without success. Its existing setup relied on manual processes to transfer data between its ERP and ecommerce platform, adding complexity to the transition.
By focusing on streamlining product attributes, improving search functionality, and optimizing ERP connectivity, Classy Llama helped AFE successfully complete the migration. Post-launch, the company experienced:
- A 32% increase in site users
- 25% revenue growth
- An improvement in Core Web Vitals (how long it takes for the main content of the page to load, how long it takes for a user’s first interaction to be processed, how much a page shifts while loading) from 73% to 80%
- Over $1 million in early sales
Despite the challenges, the project highlighted how careful planning, and the right technical approach can turn around even the most complex ecommerce transformations.
Takeaways from These Projects
Each of these cases underscores the importance of a well-structured, adaptable ecommerce platform. Whether navigating a complex site migration, integrating an ERP system, or managing product catalogs, businesses that invest in flexible, high-performance technology gain a clear competitive edge.
For companies considering an ecommerce upgrade or migration, these examples highlight key factors to keep in mind:
- Scalability matters – A platform should support future growth, not just current needs.
- Integration is critical – Ensuring ecommerce systems work seamlessly with ERPs and other tools prevents inefficiencies.
- Performance impacts everything – Site speed, navigation, and search functionality all contribute to customer experience and sales.
A strategic approach to ecommerce development can help businesses overcome roadblocks and create a system that works for both their team and their customers.
