The challenge, and the move.

SFCC's reliability issues had begun eroding consumer trust and disrupting sales. Kate Somerville needed a platform built to stay up and a partner that could move at the pace of the calendar.

The challenge

Reliability gaps were eroding consumer trust.

Operating within Salesforce Commerce Cloud presented substantial challenges platform reliability and frequent downtime among them. Recurring technical issues disrupted sales and dented confidence in the brand's online presence.

Addressing those challenges required a robust replatform: a more stable, more resilient foundation, delivered without compromising the BF/CM window.

The solution

A 30-day cut-over to Shopify Plus, senior-led from day one.

Partnering with Seedcms, the Kate Somerville team orchestrated a strategic shift to Shopify Plus. This wasn't just a platform change it was a deliberate move to a more stable, scalable, customizable framework.

Seedcms led the migration end-to-end: data, integrations, custom features, and a launch plan calibrated for the most important sales weekend of the year. The result: operational stability restored, the roadmap unlocked, and customer confidence back where it belongs.

From SFCC to Shopify Plus in under 30 days without losing a single order or a single position on Google.
