01

The

Challenge

SevenFifty, after a series of acquisitions and organic growth, needed to integrate, enhance and scale-out an ecommerce platform for beverage alcohol off-premises retailers. Having a scalable and robust SaaS solution for retailers that could be quickly and easily adopted was vital to SevenFifty.

02

The

Solution

The MercuryWorks team built upon legacy schemas and APIs to yield a new scalable architecture informed by prior industry best practices. This new Progressive Web Application (PWA)-based architecture was comprised of a multitenant ecommerce platform and administrative suite.

03

The

Results

A new ecommerce platform with instant set-up, seamless inventory management and a superior shopping experience across devices–all powered by SevenFifty’s comprehensive product database. Retailers, who previously lacked an online ordering platform and web presence, have quickly and successfully launched sites to allow customers to view inventory, take advantage of promotions and discounts and place orders with ease.
