High-performing brands in 2025 are cutting clutter, not adding tools. We partnered with Searchspring (now Athos Commerce) on their latest eBook to share how high-performing brands are streamlining their tech stacks in 2025. Inside, you can see how consolidating platforms helped our client cut 32% of tech costs and unlock more time for growth.

The future of #ecommerce isn’t just faster checkouts and smarter recommendations. It’s about creating moments that make customers feel something. #AI can help you get there, but it can’t do it alone. ⭐️ That’s exactly what we get into on this episode of Conversions From Hell with Carolina Devia Angarita, Director of Product Management at Adorama. Together, we talk about how AI is being used to shape personalized experiences that actually feel meaningful, where human-led design still plays a critical role, and why the smartest brands are finding ways to let data and intuition work together instead of against each other. 🎧 This is an episode for anyone who believes eCommerce can be more than just transactions: https://lnkd.in/emfSTrtE

We sit down with #CTOs and technical leaders who have #OutgrownTheHomegrown regularly, and the themes rarely change: outages, technical debt, lost velocity. This is Ethan’s story ... and a glimpse into many others 👇 If you are evaluating a replatform to Shopify, this is a good place to start: https://lnkd.in/darM8g4z

🔊The real trap of homegrown platforms is not when they break. It is when they force you to normalize inefficiency: the patch that feels temporary, the delay that seems recoverable, the integration that is “good enough.” You adjust, you adapt, you tolerate. But what you are really doing is accepting friction as the cost of doing business. This is the true nature of noise. It disguises itself as small problems you can live with, while quietly taxing your business at every level. Enterprise leaders who see noise for what it is act decisively. Those who ignore it compete on terms defined by others. ✨ Reclaim your focus with Avex E-commerce + Shopify: https://lnkd.in/diUZdXkd #EnterpriseCommerce #ShopifyPlus #DigitalTransformation #Replatforming #eCommerceStrategy #CancelTheNoise #OutgrowntheHomegrown

Some dinners are about the food. This one was about the future of #CX. Avex E-commerce, DigitalGenius and AfterShip brought together 15 CX leaders at Palma NYC for a night of meaningful conversation, shared challenges, and collective problem-solving. Together, we swapped ideas and strategies about preventing AI-driven fraud, keeping CSAT strong while scaling automation, and supporting teams during the busiest season of the year with creativity and care. Thank you to everyone who joined us 🍷

Noise is what happens when your custom platform takes more than it gives. It begins quietly: a sprint that drags on, a patch that drains engineering hours, a checkout bug you brush off. 💥 Then it compounds as launches slip, costs spiral, and your best people are stuck fixing yesterday instead of building tomorrow. Avex E-commerce and Shopify help high-growth and enterprise brands cancel the noise with a proven #replatforming framework designed for clarity and speed. 🎧 And since quiet always sounds better, let’s just say some qualified consultations might walk away with a pair of Apple AirPods Max 🎧 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/diUZdXkd #OutgrownTheHomegrown

Custom tech stacks eventually hit a ceiling. quip. felt it too: engineering bottlenecks, scaling friction, rising costs. Avex E-commerce partnered with quip to deliver an enterprise #replatform to Shopify in under four months. More than a technical lift, it was a business-critical transformation that aligned teams around one future-ready platform. Today, the brand operates on a platform trusted by global enterprises for: ✔ Up to 36% lower TCO ✔ Up to 37% faster time to value ✔ Access to +10K integrations and apps ✔ A global-ready foundation for rapid scaling This is what #OutgrownTheHomegrown was built to achieve: freeing enterprise brands from legacy constraints and unlocking customer-first growth at scale.

Proud to partner with Shopify on #OutgrownTheHomegrown. A bold narrative by Avex E-commerce for enterprise brands ready to trade fragile custom stacks for future-ready commerce 🙌🏻 Make sure to follow along: https://lnkd.in/darM8g4z
Here's the thing about custom commerce platforms: what once gave you a competitive edge can become the very thing holding you back. I'm seeing more and more brands spending too much time maintaining their tech stack instead of growing their business. This doesn't have to be the case. That's why I'm excited about Shopify partner Avex E-commerce's "Outgrown the Homegrown" approach. They're not just migrating stores- they've built a clear pathway to transform restrictive custom platforms into scalable businesses. And it's delivering: • 37% faster time-to-market • 36% lower total cost of ownership • Operational freedom that drives results Just ask quip. They've seen a 70% decrease in customer experience cases for refill plan management (via Recharge) and a 45% decrease in warranty cases (via Loop) since moving to Shopify. Less time fixing problems, more time delighting customers. Ready to shift to a platform that accelerates growth, and doesn't slow you down? Learn how Avex and Shopify can help you do exactly this: https://shopify.link/kxD5

🚨 Enterprise commerce has #OutgrownTheHomegrown. Custom stacks were built for control. Now they slow down the very brands they were meant to empower. Costly, fragile, and outdated, they are anchors in a market that demands speed. Avex E-commerce and Shopify are excited to introduce Outgrown the Homegrown: a multi-phased #replatforming framework that helps high-growth and enterprise brands modernize with confidence. The path forward is clear, guided by three imperatives: 👉 Cancel the Noise of everything your platform should not be 👉 Follow the Signal of a structured, low-risk replatforming plan trusted by quip. and Tru Earth 👉 Retire the Stack that solved yesterday’s problems but cannot deliver tomorrow’s growth Unlike traditional #migrations that treat replatforming as a simple lift-and-shift, this framework balances business priorities, technology, and customer impact to deliver measurable results in <4 months. Enterprise #commerce will not wait for legacy systems. Every quarter spent maintaining a fragile custom stack adds cost, drains resources, and widens the gap between you and your competitors.
