Ecommerce Growth

Ecommerce Growth is the starting scope for 20 business types across 1 sectors. The goal it is built around is to increase online sales, improve repeat purchase and connect marketing to product and revenue data.

SME20 business types

01Who it is for

Who this plan was modelled for

Fashion retailer, Beauty and cosmetics retailer, Electronics retailer, Furniture retailer, Homeware retailer, Jewellery retailer, Sports goods retailer, Automotive parts retailer and related businesses.

Primary goal

Increase online sales, improve repeat purchase and connect marketing to product and revenue data.

02Challenges

What this plan is answering

Findability decides the sale

A catalogue that cannot be searched properly loses buyers who were ready to purchase.

Stock information drifts

What the site says and what the warehouse holds are close but not the same, and buyers notice.

Checkout leaks

The last three steps are where intent turns into abandonment, usually for reasons nobody has measured.

The second order is left to chance

Acquisition is worked hard and repeat purchase is not worked at all.

Commerce platformInventoryFulfilmentCRMPaymentsAccounting and advertising feeds

05Implementation

How it is delivered

  1. 01

    Assess

    A short discovery on what exists, what it costs to run and where work is currently lost. Ends with a written scope, not a proposal deck.

  2. 02

    Design

    The operating model on paper: stages, ownership, field definitions and the measures that will judge it. Agreed before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Build and configure 19 core deliverables, sequenced so the part losing work today is fixed first.

  4. 04

    Connect

    Integrate across commerce platform, inventory, fulfilment, CRM, payments and accounting and advertising feeds so the parts behave as one system.

  5. 05

    Document

    Workflow maps, definitions, ownership and runbooks, written for the people who will run it rather than for the file.

  6. 06

    Measure

    Tracking and dashboards against product views, cart and checkout.

  7. 07

    Improve

    A review cadence with a short change list, judged against the same measures each time.

06Timeline

Typical sequence

We do not publish a duration for Ecommerce Growth, because the honest answer depends entirely on the starting state. What is fixed is the order of work, which is set so something useful goes live early.

Discovery and scope

Ends with a written operating model and an agreed build order.

Foundation

The part currently losing work: usually capture, records and ownership.

Build

Core deliverables, configured and connected.

Instrument

Tracking, dashboards and definitions.

Handover

Documentation, training and a named owner.

13Questions

Frequently asked questions

Question: Who is Ecommerce Growth for?
Operloom replies:

Fashion retailer, Beauty and cosmetics retailer, Electronics retailer, Furniture retailer, Homeware retailer, Jewellery retailer, Sports goods retailer, Automotive parts retailer and related businesses. On this site it maps to 20 business types across 1 sectors, sme in size. If your business is close to that description the plan is a reasonable starting point, and if it is not we will say so.

Question: Is this a fixed package?
Operloom replies:

No. It is a starting scope built from what this kind of business usually needs, and it is meant to be argued with. The core deliverables are the parts that rarely come out. The recommended and optional modules are decisions, not defaults.

Question: What does it cost?
Operloom replies:

We do not publish a price for Ecommerce Growth, because the scope genuinely varies with what already exists. Two businesses with the same plan can differ several times over in effort depending on the state of their data and platforms. Tell us what you have and you will get a scoped proposal with the assumptions written down.

Question: Can we start with part of it?
Operloom replies:

Usually that is the better approach. The sequence is designed so the part that is losing work today goes first and each stage is useful on its own. Starting narrow and extending is almost always cheaper than a single large build.

Question: What if we already have some of this?
Operloom replies:

Then it comes out of scope. Existing platforms that work are kept and connected rather than replaced. The assessment stage exists to find out which is which, and it regularly makes the project smaller.

Question: How is success measured?
Operloom replies:

Against product views, cart, checkout, purchase, revenue, margin, repeat rate and acquisition cost. Definitions are agreed and written down before the build starts, so the measure means the same thing in six months as it does on day one.

Question: What happens after launch?
Operloom replies:

You get the documentation, the workflow map and the training, because you are meant to own it. Ongoing support is a separate arrangement: some clients take a maintenance and improvement retainer, others take the handover and run it themselves.
