A rescue after two years of failed setup, turned into a buy and build platform
Two years and a substantial budget had produced a platform that could not carry the acquisition strategy. We stopped the programme, re-architected, and rebuilt it into something that could absorb new brands.
2 yrs
Of failed setup reversed
The challenge
The existing setup had been built incrementally without a target architecture. Each acquisition added integration debt rather than leverage, and central reporting was effectively impossible.
What we did
The first deliverable was an honest assessment of what could be salvaged and what could not. From there, a scalable commerce and learning architecture with a central data layer, so that onboarding an acquired brand became a repeatable process rather than a bespoke project.
The outcome
A platform that supports the buy and build thesis, with central data and BI where there had previously been none.
