Nexus Commerce Platform
A ground-up rebuild of a regional retail group's e-commerce infrastructure — replacing a legacy system that was losing thousands per week in abandoned carts and downtime.
The Challenge
The existing platform couldn't handle peak traffic, had a 68% mobile cart-abandonment rate, and took 12+ seconds to load on 3G connections across East Africa. The codebase was a 7-year-old WordPress install with 40+ plugins, no test coverage, and no deployment pipeline.
Our Approach
We started with a two-week discovery sprint: analytics audit, session recordings, and user interviews across three cities. The data pointed clearly to mobile performance and checkout friction as the primary revenue leaks. We rebuilt on Next.js 14 with a headless Shopify backend, implementing incremental static regeneration for product pages, an edge-cached cart API, and a streamlined 2-step checkout flow designed specifically for mobile users on slow connections.
The Outcome
Delivered a Next.js-powered storefront with edge-cached product pages, AI-driven recommendations, and a custom checkout flow. Load time dropped to 1.2s on 3G. Conversion rate tripled within 60 days of launch.
“VeilCode didn't just rebuild our website — they rebuilt how we think about our digital channel. The results speak for themselves, but what impressed me most was how precisely they diagnosed the problem before touching a line of code.”
