BUILDING eCOMMERCE: GROUNDUP

To accomplish business objectives set forth by our clients, we work with multiple stakeholders in our client’s organization to discover, define, design and deploy every new commerce website. These phases are tied together with clear focus on the predefined objectives of each project. Within these objectives, we identify and implement best practices for the success of our clients.

The foundation of our strategic implementations lies in our “Five Ds” methodology

Discover: The Discovery phase is where we validate requirements, gather information via stakeholder interviews and potential customer discussions. We believe detailed requirements are best defined through rapid visual iterations that allow stakeholders to see what they will get, starting at the very beginning of the project – not at the end, when it is too late and too costly to change.

Upon project initiation, our team engages in a multi-week Discovery phase. During Discovery, several workshops are conducted in order to elicit a set of clear and concise stakeholder needs. The first workshop is a brainstorming and requirements gathering session, which discusses and documents site features, functions, integrations and needs. These are later transformed into a formal set of associated User Stories and Acceptance Criteria. Another workshop is then scheduled, to review the User Stories and Acceptance Criteria and ensure alignment with project stakeholders. Once full alignment is reached, technical workshops are executed in order to further clarify the requirements, enable proper architecture definition and requirement activities.

Define: The Define phase is where we finalize the requirements and details of what exactly we are building.activities.

Design: The Design phase is where user experience and design teams embark on collaborative workshops to deliver a proof of concept. This proof of concept is inclusive of wire frames and branding.

Develop: The develop phase is where development begins. Throughout the entire development lifecycle, we ensure that code reviews and client demos are considered and planned for. There are checkpoints to ensure compliance with commerce best practices and requirements prior to launching a new site, or making substantial changes to existing sites.

Deploy: The Deploy phase is the final phase of a project, starting with QA and remediation onward.

MRM Commerce understands that client organizations take a range of shapes, and e-Commerce success comes from being both knowledgeable and compatible. As a full-service agency, we tailor our engagements to be the best possible partner to each of our clients. And differentiate by having an elite implementation team that can engage with and deliver the customer experience vision of our commerce focused strategy practice.

We partner with each client to build robust commerce experiences that will help them succeed, and enable them to nimbly respond to market threats by capitalizing on opportunities with cutting-edge technologies.

For Clarks, one of the world’s largest footwear brands, we devised a technology road map and go-to market strategy for the brand’s B2B tools to execute the brand’s segmentation strategy across five markets.

We have helped clients reach new levels of success by implementing technologies, like voice activated re-ordering and auto product replenishment. We have also helped other clients improve their client's experiences by implementing light AI applications like smart product recommendations and chatbots. Voice assistant skills and APIs are creating new opportunities for clients to transact with their customers.

Our team has also helped transform numerous B2B organizations, and grow their business by adopting a B2C approach for clients. This is not limited to e-Commerce transactions, but includes the use of customer portals, rich content, personalization, customer service features, and new technologies, such as AI and AR, to empower their clients.

What makes MRM Commerce different is our ability to understand our client’s business goals and objectives, and to create a technical strategy that enables those revenue generating objectives. Our lens is always focused on the customer experience and the people-to-people relationships – whether the experience is for B2C or B2B.
