Ecommerce

Shopify Plus builds, platform migrations, and conversion systems for retailers doing real volume.

Where Rogue Fits in Ecommerce

Most growing retailers hit the same wall around £5–£25m turnover: the platform that got them here can’t take them further, the integrations are held together by manual workarounds, and conversion improvements require engineering capacity the team doesn’t have. We come in at that point — not as a generic Shopify partner, but as the senior technical team a CTO would build if they had eighteen months to hire.

Our ecommerce work spans three patterns: Shopify Plus replatforms from Magento, BigCommerce or WooCommerce; deep CRM, ERP and warehouse integrations that remove manual data-entry from the operating model; and AI-assisted personalisation and product discovery that lifts conversion without rewriting the storefront. The common thread is that we ship working systems — not strategy decks or wireframes.

We’ve done this for Coolkit, where we modernised a legacy 779-column ERP-adjacent database and integrated it with a CRM workflow that replaced spreadsheet handoffs across the manufacturing operation. We’ve done it for MDLondon across a custom Shopify platform build, an Insider business-intelligence layer, and an AI hair-expert tool. We’ve done it for UpGrades, our own AI-native education product that we built and operate at production scale — which means we understand ecommerce-grade engineering not from the agency side, but from running a live SaaS business.

Challenges We Solve

E-commerce retailers face unique growth challenges as they scale. We help overcome:

• Low Conversion Rates: Optimise checkout flows, reduce cart abandonment, and improve product discovery.
• Poor Personalisation: Implement AI-driven recommendations and dynamic content based on customer behaviour.
• Fragmented Data: Unify customer data across platforms for a single view of the customer journey.
• Manual Operations: Automate inventory sync, order fulfilment notifications, and customer service.
• Slow Site Performance: Optimise page speed, Core Web Vitals, and mobile experiences for higher conversions.

What We Ship for Ecommerce Clients

Specific, measurable deliverables — not retainers that drift into “ongoing optimisation”:

• Shopify Plus migration with SEO preservation: URL mapping, 301 strategy, structured-data parity, and crawl-budget audits — the work that determines whether organic traffic survives the cutover.
• ERP, CRM and warehouse integrations: middleware that removes manual data-entry from the operating model. Real-time inventory truth, automated order routing, customer-record consolidation.
• Conversion optimisation programme: checkout instrumentation, A/B testing infrastructure, and a recurring sprint cadence that ships measurable lifts — not a one-off audit with no implementation budget.
• AI-assisted personalisation and search: product recommendations, dynamic content, and on-site search powered by your actual product and behaviour data — without bolting on a third-party black box that erodes margin.
• Technical SEO programme: faceted-navigation control, indexation hygiene, Core Web Vitals work, schema and internal-linking architecture — built into the engineering backlog rather than handed off as a PDF.
