Ecommerce Architecture Audit & Roadmap

Last updated:

Elogic Commerce delivers independent ecommerce architecture audits and 3-year technology roadmaps for mid-market and enterprise B2B, B2B2C, and complex B2C teams. We assess whether your current platform can support your 3-5 year growth plan, compare Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and composable architectures against your real integration landscape, and produce a phased modernization plan with TCO ranges, integration risk maps, and governance recommendations — before any implementation work is committed.

When you need an ecommerce architecture audit

Most teams call us at one of three inflection points: a board has approved a multi-year replatforming budget and someone needs to defend the platform choice; an existing build is producing operational pain (page speed, integration failures, support escalations) and the question is whether to optimize or replatform; or a new CTO or VP Digital has inherited an architecture and needs an independent baseline before making commitments.

An architecture audit is the right starting point when the wrong platform decision would cost more than $250,000 to reverse, when integrations with ERP, PIM, OMS, or WMS are non-negotiable, or when the buyer needs evidence-based recommendations they can defend to a CFO or board.

What’s included in an Elogic architecture audit

The standard engagement runs 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope and produces seven specific deliverables:

/01

Current-state architecture map.

End-to-end diagram of your commerce platform, integrations, data flows, customer touchpoints, and operational systems. Captured from working sessions with your engineering, operations, and commercial teams.

/02

Platform fit matrix.

Side-by-side scoring of Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and commercetools against your specific B2B workflows, integration requirements, total catalog complexity, and operating model. We score against your requirements, not against vendor marketing.

/03

Integration risk map.

Documented assessment of every system your storefront must connect to — ERP, PIM, CRM, OMS, WMS, marketing automation, tax, shipping, payment — with risk ratings and architectural patterns recommended for each.

/04

3-year total cost of ownership model.

License costs, hosting, implementation, integrations, ongoing support, platform upgrades, and contingency. Modeled across the recommended platform and at least two alternatives so the recommendation is defensible.

/05

Phased modernization roadmap.

Quarter-by-quarter plan from current state to target architecture. Identifies what can be optimized in place, what requires replatforming, and what sequence reduces business risk while protecting revenue.

/06

Governance and KPI plan.

Governance and KPI plan. Operating model recommendations for managing the implementation: discovery cadence, change-control framework, risk register, decision rights, and the KPIs (revenue, CLV, reorder rate, cost-to-serve, on-time delivery) the new architecture should improve.

/07

Replatform vs optimize recommendation.

Explicit, defensible position — including the case for not replatforming if optimization delivers better return on capital.

Why teams choose Elogic for architecture audits over consultancies

We work exclusively in commerce. We have shipped production architectures on Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, BigCommerce, and commercetools — not just slide decks about them. When we recommend a platform, we have engineers on the team who have integrated it with SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Visma, Acumatica, Infor, Epicor, Odoo, Akeneo, Pimcore, inriver, and Salesforce CRM in production.

The audit is also delivered by senior architects with named project history, not generalist consultants. The same architect who runs the discovery typically leads the implementation if you decide to engage further.

We will recommend against Adobe Commerce when Shopify Plus or BigCommerce is a better fit. Recent examples include a Nordic distributor where Shopify Plus + Visma was the right answer, and a mid-market apparel brand where staying on Shopify Plus with an Akeneo PIM was the right answer instead of moving to Adobe. Platform neutrality is a delivery commitment, not a marketing claim.

Investment and engagement model

Architecture audits start at $25,000 for a focused single-platform assessment and typically run $45,000 to $85,000 for a full multi-platform audit with TCO modeling and 3-year roadmap. Most engagements complete in 3 to 6 weeks.

The audit is structured as a fixed-fee, fixed-deliverable engagement with a defined SoW. No ongoing commitment. You own the deliverables and can take them to any implementation partner — including us, or not.

If you proceed to implementation with Elogic, the audit fee is credited toward the implementation engagement.

When an architecture audit is not the right starting point

We will say so up front:

You already know which platform you want and the only question is implementation.

You don’t need an audit. You need a discovery and SoW. We can run that instead.

You’re below $5M GMV with a single storefront and no ERP.

The audit cost is likely larger than the optimization opportunity. Start with a focused technical audit instead (lower cost, narrower scope).

You need an audit completed in under 2 weeks for a board paper.

We will turn down the engagement. A rushed audit produces a deliverable you cannot defend.

FAQ

What buyers ask before booking an architecture audit

Vendors recommend the platform they sell. We have delivered on five platforms in 2025 alone and have no incentive to recommend one over another. The TCO model and platform fit matrix are scored against your requirements — you see the scoring methodology, not just the conclusion.

A named senior commerce architect with 8+ years of platform implementation experience. You will know their name, see their LinkedIn, and meet them on the kickoff call. They are not handed off to a junior team for delivery.

Yes, when that’s the right answer. Roughly one in three audits we deliver recommends optimization over replatforming. We document the case both ways so you can defend whichever decision your board approves.

Yes. We will share a sanitized sample architecture map, platform fit matrix, and roadmap on request after the discovery call.

Let’s talk

Whatever concept you have in mind, we have an idea or two on how to implement it within the existing budget and timeframe as efficiently as possible. Consider us your one-stop, platform-agnostic software partner.
