AceCom: Brick and Mortar Retail to Real Digital Transformation
When AceCom came to us, they weren’t just asking for a new website. They were looking for a path forward. As a regional retail business with a loyal customer base, they knew the future was digital. But their existing online store had become more of a burden than a benefit. It was built on outdated plugins, lacked inventory management, and frequently broke during checkout. Customers were walking away. Within the company, staff were manually tracking inventory in spreadsheets, and leadership had lost faith in their digital tools.
The solution wasn’t just a redesign. It was a complete transformation of how AceCom operated online.
We began by shifting the goal from “fix the website” to “build a single, connected system.” Rather than adding more disconnected tools, we developed a structure where everything—from the storefront to inventory and payments—works together in real time. This approach provided AceCom with a reliable source of truth for operations, eliminating the friction that had been holding them back.
The new customer experience was designed with a mobile-first approach in mind. Using React and Tailwind CSS, we crafted a storefront that worked beautifully on smartphones, where most of their traffic came from. On the backend, we utilized Node.js and MongoDB to create a dashboard that enables staff to manage inventory, orders, and customer data without needing to switch between systems or manually update spreadsheets.
We also integrated Stripe to handle payments and subscriptions with greater reliability. The billing process became smooth and consistent. Everything the team needed to run their digital operations now resided in one platform, updated in real-time as the business evolved.
The impact was immediate. Mobile purchases increased by 38 percent within the first month. Manual inventory tasks were eliminated, and the new dashboard provided staff with better control and less effort. Payments became faster and more secure. For the first time, AceCom could trust its digital infrastructure to grow alongside it rather than holding it back.
This project wasn’t just a technical upgrade. It gave the company renewed confidence in its online customer service. Today, AceCom sees digital not as a side channel but as a key driver of its business, and that change in mindset has opened the door to a stronger, more scalable future.
