What changed
A renowned Italian fashion brand with a 50-year legacy needed to turn an aging online store into a scalable digital flagship. The existing platform crashed during peak sales, loaded slowly on mobile, disconnected inventory from checkout and gave every customer the same experience.
We rebuilt the platform around performance, mobile conversion, real-time operations and personalization, giving the brand an e-commerce system ready for high-traffic launches and international growth.
What we built
- A responsive storefront optimized for mobile-first browsing and checkout.
- A scalable backend able to support high concurrent traffic during promotional events.
- Real-time inventory synchronization to reduce overselling and operational friction.
- Search, filtering and recommendation flows designed to improve product discovery.
- A CI/CD workflow and cloud infrastructure for safer releases and easier maintenance.
Technology stack
The platform combined a React front end, Node.js services, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Stripe, AWS, Kubernetes and automated test coverage with Jest and Cypress. The stack was selected to balance speed, scalability and maintainability while leaving the client free to evolve the platform over time.
Operational impact
The new system improved online sales, reduced cart abandonment, cut page load times from eight seconds to roughly two seconds and made mobile a stronger sales channel. It also reduced technical incidents during peak traffic windows, which had been one of the main risks for the previous platform.
