Operational Intelligence
Many retailers embark on BigCommerce initiatives without a clear strategic vision, leading to preventable operational issues and missed commercial opportunities. We diagnose and rectify these patterns.
Impact: Increased technical debt, reduced agility, and an inability to adapt to platform evolution. The customisation traps the business.
Cogent Approach: We assess existing customisations against BigCommerce’s current capabilities and future roadmap, identifying areas for re-platforming to native features or headless architecture where appropriate to reduce long-term TCO.
Impact: Lost B2B revenue opportunities, inefficient sales operations, and a fragmented customer experience that discourages repeat business.
Cogent Approach: We help define a B2B strategy, leveraging BigCommerce’s Customer Group and Price List features, integrating with ERPs like NetSuite, and optimising the B2B customer journey to drive self-service and higher order values.
Impact: Decreased conversion rates, increased customer service queries, and significant operational overhead in managing the product catalogue.
Cogent Approach: We develop a comprehensive product data strategy, identifying the optimal source of truth (e.g., PIM or ERP), defining data governance rules, and establishing robust integration patterns to ensure data consistency across the ecosystem.
Impact: High operational costs, customer churn from poor local experience, and an unsustainable global growth model that drains resources without significant return.
Cogent Approach: We help define a phased international strategy, advising on BigCommerce multi-storefront usage, tax and duty considerations, and integration with local fulfilment providers, ensuring a scalable global commerce architecture.
