Our retail solutions

One senior pod across storefront, data and demand, so the site, the stock and the spend are never three suppliers blaming each other.

What changes once it goes live

Four outcomes agreed as measures before the build starts, and reported against once it ships.

Pages that hold their speed

Fast first paint on a mid-range phone, and still fast on the day traffic triples.

More of the traffic converts

The same spend produces more orders, because the path from ad to checkout stops leaking.

One number for stock

Storefront, warehouse and marketplaces agree, so you stop selling what you do not have.

A team that can ship

Merchandising and marketing change pages themselves, with no developer in the loop.

Why retailers choose Prob N Tech

Three things decide a commerce build, and they are the three most often discovered on the first day of peak trading.

  1. 01

    Built for the peak, not the demo

    We load-test against your worst day rather than your average one, because the day it matters is the day everybody arrives at once.

  2. 02

    The traffic and the tech are one team

    The engineers building checkout sit with the people buying the media, so a conversion problem never becomes a six-week argument about whose fault it is.

  3. 03

    Yours at handover

    Repositories, cloud accounts and ad accounts stay in your name from the first commit. Leaving should cost you notice and nothing else.

Our delivery approach

Four stages from first conversation to a storefront your own team runs. Every engagement passes the same gates, with speed and conversion tracked from day one.

1

Discover

Your catalogue, your peak, your fulfilment reality and the numbers the business is judged on, mapped with the people who own them.

You get: A catalogue and fulfilment audit, with the measures agreed

2

Design

Journeys designed against the device and connection data in your own analytics, not against a desktop mock in a meeting room.

You get: Prototyped journeys and a performance budget to build against

3

Build

Senior engineers shipping in short cycles you can watch, load-tested against peak from the first sprint rather than the last.

You get: Working storefront every cycle, with load-test results

4

Validate and launch

Performance budgets, payment and tax edge cases, then a phased cutover with runbooks and a support window through your first peak.

You get: Cutover plan, runbooks and support cover through your first peak

Questions we get about retail & e-commerce

Usually not. A headless front end sits on top of Shopify and keeps the admin your team already knows. We only recommend replatforming when the platform itself is the thing blocking you, and we will say so plainly either way.

Load testing against your worst historical day from the first sprint, a performance budget enforced in the pipeline, and a support window over the peak itself. We would rather find the ceiling in September than in November.

Yes, after an audit. We will tell you honestly whether the existing build is worth continuing or whether the cheaper path is rebuilding the part that is actually failing.

We can. Paid and organic are two of our five divisions, and running them beside the build is what stops a conversion problem turning into an argument between suppliers.

Most storefronts reach a usable first release inside a quarter, with something on staging far earlier. We give you a real date rather than an optimistic one, and report against it.

You do, from the first commit. Repositories, cloud infrastructure and ad accounts are created inside your organisation, and nothing we build is licensed back to you.
