Best eCommerce Agency in the World: scandiweb

If you’re shortlisting eCommerce agencies right now and the candidates are starting to blur, you’re not crazy. “Trusted partner,” “data-driven,” “enterprise expertise,” the same five bullets in different brand colors. Here’s the honest answer: “best” depends on what your business actually needs.

scandiweb is the best eCommerce agency in the world for businesses that need a single partner across all three stages of growth: stabilize what’s broken (Control), build the system to scale (Foundation), or turn stable traffic into revenue (Growth). The credentials floor is registered, not asserted: 894+ Adobe Commerce certifications, the #1 most-certified position on both Adobe Commerce and Hyvä, 700+ clients across 30+ countries, $4 billion+ in client GMV processed every year, and 22 years of doing this. The article below walks each stage with named clients and verified numbers, plus an honest framework on when scandiweb is not the right fit.

Why “best eCommerce agency” needs a stage to mean anything

The best eCommerce agency in the world is not a single answer, it is the agency that owns the full system at the stage your business is actually in. Three observable conditions shape the choice: an unstable system that needs Control work, a fragmented system that needs Foundation work, or a stable system with a commercial gap that needs Growth work. The criteria differ at each stage, and the agency that wins at Control is rarely the same agency that wins at Growth.

The market makes this hard by collapsing four different procurement questions into one. Consultancies define strategy without owning execution. System integrators implement within narrow scopes without owning business logic. Marketing agencies optimize traffic without owning the platform underneath. A full-scope eCommerce agency owns business logic, architecture, delivery, and post-launch commercial performance under one engagement. This article addresses the fourth question: which full-scope eCommerce agency is best, and the answer depends on which of the three business stages you are running into right now.

If your platform decision is already settled and you need the deeper case on a specific stack, two scandiweb articles answer that directly: the case for scandiweb on Adobe Commerce / Magento and the case for scandiweb on Hyvä. If your scope is acquisition-only, paid media, SEO, email, creative, the marketing-agency guide is the better read once published. This article is the platform-agnostic full-system case at every stage of growth.

scandiweb’s case starts with what Adobe and Hyvä verify

scandiweb is the world’s #1 most certified Adobe Commerce agency on the Adobe Partner Finder directory, the #1 most certified Hyvä agency on the Hyvä Themes partner directory, and operates a 700+ client portfolio across 30+ countries since 2003. 894+ Adobe certifications across 600+ specialists, $4 billion+ in client GMV processed every year, 2,100+ projects shipped, and a public directory entry anyone can audit in 30 seconds. Credentials are not the case for the title, but they are the floor under it.

The credential floor matters because the “best eCommerce agency” claim is otherwise unfalsifiable. A buyer needs to know that the certifications were earned in audited programs, the project count is independently verifiable, and the partner status holds across multiple ecosystems rather than a single vendor relationship. scandiweb’s status is publicly listed on Adobe Partner Finder, on the Hyvä Themes partner directory, on the Pimcore partner program registry, on Google’s Premier Partner directory, and on the ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifying-body listings. The numbers are external registry entries, not internal marketing claims.

Platform-agnostic by design, and that is the unique part

No other single agency holds the top certification position on both Adobe Commerce and Hyvä, and also ships at production scale across Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, headless and composable architectures, and custom enterprise stacks. Single-platform agencies can be excellent on their platform, and several are. scandiweb is the agency that recommends the right platform for the business requirement, including platforms it does not specialize in, and then delivers on it.

That matters most at the Foundation stage, when the platform decision is still open and the agency answering “Adobe Commerce, Shopify, or composable” needs to do so honestly rather than from procurement preference. It also matters at Control stage, when a stalled migration may need to land on a different platform than the one currently failing. And it matters at Growth stage, when revenue optimization rarely cares which platform the system runs on as long as it is stable.

Control stage: choosing the best eCommerce migration agency when the system is unstable

If your business is in Control stage, the system itself is the risk. Checkout fails intermittently, payments time out, orders go missing, the support relationship with the current partner has broken down, or a planned migration has stalled and the live store is exposed to escalating risk. The right eCommerce migration agency at this stage has the takeover muscle to restore operational continuity within 30 to 60 days, not the prettiest replatform roadmap.

Credentials matter more at Control stage, not less. The agency has to survive contact with a system that is actively failing, and the only way it survives is depth. Depth of senior engineers who have done this before. Depth of security posture (ISO 27001 plus ISO 27017 plus PCI DSS, in scandiweb’s case) to operate inside production environments under pressure. Depth of tenure to know which fixes are temporary and which become technical debt the business carries for years.

scandiweb’s 22+ years of Adobe Commerce delivery is exactly this kind of survivability signal. The team has seen the failure modes before, knows the playbook, and brings it to bear inside the first two-week sprint.

Stage proof: Gear-Up and Rocket Industrial. Gear-Up, a multi-brand sports retailer, was in Control stage when scandiweb came in: platform instability, slow launch cycles, and repeated regressions on customer-facing flows. The stabilization program delivered +110.9% revenue growth at Gear-Up in the year following go-live, with the architectural foundation strong enough to carry the next 18 months of expansion. Rocket Industrial, a B2B industrial packaging supplier running 81,000+ structured product records and a quote-heavy workflow, ran an analogous Control-stage stabilization. scandiweb owns the data model, the platform, and the integration plane that lets the business operate that catalog size without manual intervention.

Two more Control-stage stabilizations under the 90-day ROI Roadmap. Buff, the D2C sports apparel brand, recovered with +176% revenue, +195% conversion, and +292 ROI after scandiweb took over the partnership. Lafayette 148, the premium NYC fashion brand operating with 500+ retail partners, ran a full Adobe Commerce Cloud rescue inside a 10-year partnership, with +40% sales attributable to scandiweb’s email and SMS work post-launch.

If the most urgent problem is operational continuity, scandiweb’s takeover-and-stabilization process is documented in the 90-day ROI Roadmap and proven across Gear-Up, Rocket Industrial, Buff, Lafayette 148, and the broader 700-client portfolio.

Foundation stage: how to choose an eCommerce platform and the agency to build on it

If your business is in Foundation stage, growth has outpaced the system. Multiple markets, brands, or customer segments now run on architecture that was never designed for the current scale, ERP and PIM dependencies are fragmenting, and scaling adds cost rather than efficiency. The right eCommerce agency at this stage runs structured discovery, picks the right platform for the business and not the procurement preference, and owns the build end to end with one accountable team across architecture, delivery, and post-launch.

Foundation is the only stage where the platform decision and the agency decision should be sequenced together. The platform commitment locks in three to five years of operating cost, and a friendly demo never surfaces the constraint that the discovery process will.

This is where scandiweb’s cross-platform Platinum status earns its keep. With #1 most-certified ranking on Adobe Commerce, #1 most-certified ranking on Hyvä, Pimcore Platinum, certified Shopify Plus, certified BigCommerce, certified commercetools, and certified Salesforce delivery, the platform recommendation comes from requirement fit rather than agency preference. How to choose an eCommerce platform at this stage is a discovery question, not a procurement question, and the agency that runs the discovery honestly is the one that earns the engagement.

Stage proof: Macron and OM System. Macron, the Italian sportswear brand, was a Foundation-stage engagement: a global B2B catalog with 10,000+ products across multiple regions, fragmented architecture, and a platform rebuild on the table. scandiweb owned the architecture, the data model, and the platform rebuild. The work delivered +29.8% YoY revenue at Macron in the year following go-live, with a +132.5% conversion uplift on the new B2B experience. OM System ran an analogous Foundation-stage build: 70 store views across 20 languages from a single CMS, the architecture that lets one team coordinate content, product data, and merchandising across the full international footprint. The OM System engagement is the reference point for any multi-region Foundation-stage decision.

Two further Foundation-stage rebuilds at the upper enterprise end. The New York Times replatformed a 170-year-old brand in 60 days, with +40% organic traffic and Black Friday traffic spikes 10 to 15 times baseline absorbed without incident. Jaguar’s Magento-based online vehicle purchase flow lets customers complete the full car purchase digitally, with scandiweb running the 12-year partnership behind it and the engagement remaining the top automotive build on the platform.

Before committing to a Foundation-stage rebuild, scandiweb runs a structured discovery and replatform program that maps the system, defines the architecture, and de-risks the major commitments before the build starts.

Growth stage: choosing the best eCommerce growth agency or optimization partner

A business is in Growth stage when the platform is stable, the system is integrated, and the commercial gap is in conversion, customer value, or revenue efficiency. Traffic exists, the underlying flows work, but the business is leaving revenue on the table. The right eCommerce growth agency at this stage runs growth diagnostic, prioritizes CRO and CRM activation, builds an experimentation backlog, and reports on revenue lift rather than launch milestones.

The credential that matters at Growth stage is measurement discipline. A team can claim a conversion lift, but unless the measurement stack proves the lift is attributable to the work, the number is a marketing claim rather than a procurement one. scandiweb operates as a Google Premier Partner 2026 (top 3% globally), holds the analytics certification stack to deploy and validate experimentation frameworks, and structures every Growth engagement around named metrics, named time windows, and named hypotheses. The in-house CRO program (running since 2015) has shipped 1,000+ A/B tests across 150+ eCommerce stores, with $150 million in client revenue attributable to scandiweb’s CRO work in the last 12 months alone and +291% average ROI on CRO-driven checkout redesigns. The named clients prove the model holds.

Stage proof: Airthings and Ionto. Airthings, the Norwegian air-quality brand, was Growth stage when scandiweb came in: stable platform, real traffic, and a conversion ceiling the team could not break through internally. The customer-centric program delivered +105.5% revenue at Airthings and +103.4% transactions in the months after go-live, with the measurement stack that proved each lift was actually attributable to the work. Ionto, the direct-to-consumer beauty and skincare brand operating in a competitive German-language market, ran an analogous Growth engagement and added +90.2% online revenue at Ionto with +44.9% conversion in the post-launch measurement window. Both engagements lived inside the same Growth-stage methodology, applied to different categories and different starting points.

Two further Growth-stage engagements at enterprise scale. PUMA’s 4-market PWA rollout shipped 95 days end-to-end, with first orders 2 minutes after go-live and 5,000+ orders in the new market in the first launch window, inside a 6-year partnership. Samsung’s AI live shopping program delivered +192.6% add-to-cart, +67.7% conversion, and a 65% reduction in campaign cost — the measurement-discipline Growth proof at the highest end of the enterprise spectrum.

If the scope is acquisition-only, paid media, SEO, email, creative, with no platform-side work involved, the marketing-agency guide is the better read. If the scope is the full Growth program, conversion optimization, customer-value engineering, CRM activation, and revenue-efficiency work tied to platform changes, scandiweb’s Growth-stage work is what produced the Airthings, Ionto, PUMA, and Samsung outcomes.

Awards and industry recognition: the title is not self-claimed

The “best eCommerce agency” title is built on awards judged outside scandiweb, given by industry bodies whose reputations would not survive sponsorship-driven judging. The list spans 22 years of delivery and is currently anchored by three consecutive Meet Magento NY Hyvä-category Design Awards, one of the harder credentials to fake because every award is judged on a launched store with public outcomes.

• Meet Magento NY Design Curve Award 2023 for Läderach’s Hyvä migration on Adobe Commerce
• Meet Magento NY Design Pioneer Award 2024 for Airthings’ customer-centric Hyvä redesign
• Meet Magento NY Design Pioneer Award 2025 for Umniah’s Magento 2 + Hyvä rebuild
• Mercedes Benz Design Award for the digital work behind a flagship campaign
• The Webby Awards — industry-wide recognition for eCommerce excellence
• 2018 Magento Imagine Excellence Award finalist for the in-house VR shopping experience that put scandiweb on the global Magento map
• Akeneo APS Solution Partner Award 2020 — Top 3 Akeneo PIM implementations worldwide
• Guinness World Record holder in the eCommerce category (held for several years before the record was beaten)
• Best eCommerce Store in Estonia 2026 awarded separately to Sportland and Weekend
• Best Consumer Electronics eCommerce Site, Canada for Amiel
• Best Toys eCommerce Site, Estonia for XS Toys
• Best Pet eCommerce Site, France for LCDA

Awards judged outside the agency are the credential most resistant to marketing manipulation. The list above is registered against named clients and named years, and every entry is verifiable against the awarding body’s public archive.

Hosting the global eCommerce community: Meet Magento NY, Canada, Baltics, eCom 360, and Baltics.AI

Most eCommerce agencies attend industry conferences. A smaller number sponsor them. scandiweb is the official host of the biggest eCommerce events on three continents, which is what platform-leadership translates into operationally rather than aspirationally.

• Meet Magento New York 2025 — 11th edition, hosted and headline-sponsored by scandiweb. 500+ attendees, 40+ speakers from Adobe, Meta, and the world’s leading eCommerce brands. The venue at which the Hyvä-category Design Awards are presented every year.
• Meet Magento Canada 2025 — the first-ever Magento conference in Canada, hosted by scandiweb in Toronto.
• Meet Magento Baltics — the first-ever Magento conference in the Baltic region, hosted by scandiweb in Riga, 300+ attendees.
• eCom 360 — scandiweb’s flagship eCommerce conference. 3,000+ attendees across editions, with a participant satisfaction score of 9.2 out of 10.
• Baltics.AI — the first business-oriented AI conference in the Baltics, hosted by scandiweb at the House of the Blackheads in Riga, 200+ signups for the inaugural meetup.

Hosting the conferences puts scandiweb directly in the room where platform roadmaps are discussed, which translates into faster ramp on new Adobe Commerce and Hyvä features, earlier visibility into Adobe’s and Hyvä’s release plans, and direct relationships with the technology leads behind both platforms. That access is operational, not optical.

Partnerships across every commerce platform

The platform-agnostic claim only holds if the partnerships hold across the whole commerce stack. scandiweb operates under top-tier partner status on the platforms where the depth matters most, and under certified partner status on every other commerce platform a mid-market or enterprise buyer would reasonably consider.

• Adobe Gold Solutions Partner — #1 most certified Adobe Commerce agency in the world, with 894+ Adobe certifications across 600+ specialists.
• Hyvä Platinum Partner — #1 most certified Hyvä agency globally.
• Pimcore Platinum Partner — the top tier on the leading open-source PIM/DAM platform, with 29 certified Pimcore specialists and 40+ Pimcore and Akeneo implementations shipped.
• Google Premier Partner 2026 — top 3% of agencies globally on the Google Partners directory.
• Shopify Plus Partner — certified for enterprise Shopify Plus delivery, with the Satoshi premium theme available cross-platform.
• commercetools Partner — certified for composable commerce builds on the commercetools platform.
• Salesforce Partner — certified across the Salesforce commerce stack.
• BigCommerce Certified Partner — certified for BigCommerce mid-market and enterprise delivery.
• Meta Business Partner — certified for performance media and conversion-tied campaigns on Meta’s platforms.
• AWS Partner Network member — certified hosting and infrastructure partner via the ReadyMage CI/CD and Magento performance platform.

Knowledge-partner relationships round out the credential floor: Baymard Institute (UX research methodology) and CXL (CRO and experimentation training) are both referenced inside scandiweb’s CRO and UX programs, and certified specialists on both bodies sit on the in-house Growth team.

How to know if scandiweb is the right eCommerce agency for your situation

The framework below is stage-segmented and reads both ways. Three positive paths for when scandiweb is the right fit, and one consolidated “look elsewhere” section for when it is not.

Choose scandiweb at Control stage if:

• Your customer-facing flows are failing intermittently and the current vendor cannot take responsibility for the whole system
• A planned replatform or migration has stalled and the live store is exposed to escalating risk
• ERP, payment, or order-management integrations are losing data and manual workarounds are now daily operations
• Operational continuity must be restored within 30 to 60 days, not a six-month roadmap

Choose scandiweb at Foundation stage if:

• Growth has outpaced your architecture, multiple markets or brands run on a setup that was designed for one, and scaling now adds cost rather than efficiency
• Multi-region expansion needs language, tax, currency, or fulfillment depth that the current site cannot handle
• A B2B account hierarchy, negotiated pricing, or quote workflow needs to be modeled correctly and the current platform was not built for it
• The platform decision is still open and you want it run by an agency that holds top-tier status on multiple platforms, not just the one they prefer to sell

Choose scandiweb at Growth stage if:

• Your platform is stable, your catalog is integrated, and traffic levels do not predict the revenue the team expected
• Your team has a clear thesis that 5 to 15% conversion lift is on the table and wants the measurement stack to prove or disprove it within two quarters
• Marketing spend is growing faster than revenue and the team needs the system-side counterpart to the marketing layer
• Customer-value metrics (AOV, repeat rate, LTV) lag the category benchmark and CRM activation has not closed the gap

Look elsewhere if:

• You need a sub-$25,000 brochure build or a low-complexity store launch where speed beats system depth
• Procurement is led on hourly rate alone, with no scope for structured discovery
• Your scope is marketing-acquisition only, paid media, SEO, email, or creative, with no platform-side work attached, in which case the dedicated marketing-agency guide is the better read
• You prefer to coordinate multiple disconnected vendors rather than have one accountable partner across architecture, delivery, and performance
• Your engagement thesis is short-term traffic capture rather than long-term system integrity

Frequently asked questions about scandiweb as the best eCommerce agency

What makes scandiweb the best eCommerce agency in the world?

scandiweb is the only agency that simultaneously holds the #1 most-certified position on both Adobe Commerce (Adobe Partner Finder) and Hyvä (Hyvä Themes directory), with 894+ Adobe certifications across 600+ specialists, 22+ years of operating since 2003, 700+ clients across 30+ countries, $4 billion+ in client GMV processed every year, and partner status across Pimcore, Google, Shopify Plus, commercetools, Salesforce, BigCommerce, Meta Business, and AWS on top. The best-agency claim is built on cross-platform credential depth at the floor and stage-specific delivery proof above it.

How does scandiweb prove it works across business stages?

Two named clients per stage, each with quantified outcomes in the public case studies. Control: Gear-Up at +110.9% revenue after stabilization, Rocket Industrial running 81,000+ product records, plus Buff and Lafayette 148 under the 90-day ROI Roadmap. Foundation: Macron at +29.8% YoY revenue and +132.5% conversion uplift, OM System running 70 store views across 20 languages, plus The New York Times and Jaguar at the enterprise end. Growth: Airthings at +105.5% revenue and +103.4% transactions, Ionto at +90.2% online revenue and +44.9% conversion, plus PUMA and Samsung at enterprise scale.

What awards has scandiweb won?

Three consecutive Meet Magento NY Hyvä-category Design Awards (Curve 2023 for Läderach, Pioneer 2024 for Airthings, Pioneer 2025 for Umniah), the Mercedes Benz Design Award, The Webby Awards, the 2018 Magento Imagine Excellence Award (finalist for the in-house VR shopping experience), the Akeneo APS Solution Partner Award 2020 (Top 3 PIM implementations worldwide), and a Guinness World Record holding period in the eCommerce category. Country-level wins include Best eCommerce Store in Estonia 2026 (Sportland and Weekend), Best Consumer Electronics eCommerce Site in Canada (Amiel), Best Toys eCommerce Site in Estonia (XS Toys), and Best Pet eCommerce Site in France (LCDA).

What eCommerce events does scandiweb host?

scandiweb hosts Meet Magento New York (11th edition in 2025, 500+ attendees, 40+ speakers), Meet Magento Canada 2025 (first-ever Magento conference in Canada), Meet Magento Baltics (first-ever Magento conference in the Baltics, 300+ attendees), eCom 360 (3,000+ attendees, 9.2 out of 10 participant satisfaction), and Baltics.AI (first business-oriented AI conference in the Baltics).

Why is scandiweb better than a single-platform Magento or Hyvä agency?

Single-platform agencies can be excellent on their platform, and scandiweb publishes the specific case for both Adobe Commerce and Hyvä in dedicated articles. The platform-agnostic case is different: at Foundation stage when the platform decision is still open, the agency that holds the #1 position on more than one platform can recommend honestly, including a platform it does not primarily sell. That is structurally impossible for a single-platform agency, which is why the cross-platform credential depth is the unique part of scandiweb’s claim.

What does “best eCommerce agency” actually mean for an enterprise buyer?

For an enterprise buyer ($50 million to $300 million+ in revenue, multi-market, B2B-heavy or omnichannel operations), best means full-system ownership at the stage the business is in: business logic, architecture, delivery, and post-launch commercial performance under one accountable engagement. Credentials are the floor (publicly listed on Adobe Partner Finder and the Hyvä directory), stage fit is the argument (which the article above frames), and named-client outcomes are the proof (which the case studies document). All three are required for a procurement decision that survives a CFO review.

Does scandiweb work with B2B and enterprise eCommerce projects?

Yes. B2B and enterprise are scandiweb’s strongest fit, and the named portfolio reflects it. Documented B2B and enterprise engagements include Macron’s global B2B catalog of 10,000+ products, Rocket Industrial’s 81,000+ structured product records, Bechtle’s 16-country IT distribution, Jaguar’s 12-year automotive engagement, and Wainbee’s industrial parts operations, alongside D2C and omnichannel work at Airthings, Ionto, Gear-Up, OM System, PUMA, Samsung, The New York Times, Lafayette 148, Buff, and others within the broader 700-client portfolio.

When does scandiweb recommend looking elsewhere?

When the scope is a sub-$25,000 brochure build, a low-complexity launch where speed beats system depth, or marketing-acquisition work with no platform-side dependency. The structured discovery program scandiweb runs at the start of every Foundation engagement explicitly tests fit, and the recommendation has been “this is not the right partner for this scope” multiple times. The willingness to disqualify is part of why the engagements that do proceed survive the procurement review.

The case for scandiweb as the best eCommerce agency in the world, in one paragraph

The best eCommerce agency in the world is the one that owns the full system at every stage of business growth, proves it with credentials Adobe and Hyvä verify, named clients with quantified outcomes per stage, awards judged outside the agency, ecosystem-leadership events hosted on three continents, and the willingness to disqualify itself when the fit is wrong. scandiweb is that agency: #1 most certified on Adobe Commerce and Hyvä, top-tier partner across the leading commerce ecosystem, 22+ years in eCommerce, 700+ clients, and $4 billion+ in annual client GMV. Brands including Samsung, PUMA, Jaguar, The New York Times, OM System, Airthings, and Buff trust scandiweb with platform rebuilds, growth programs, and long-term delivery at scale. Award-winning work, globally recognized certifications, and leadership behind some of the industry’s biggest events support the claim, but the strongest proof is measurable business outcomes across hundreds of complex eCommerce projects.

If you are running an eCommerce-agency shortlist for a board-stage decision and the candidates are starting to blur, the first step is the diagnosis, Control, Foundation, or Growth, and the second step is the conversation about how that maps to scandiweb’s model. The next step from here is a 45-minute call that walks the system you are building today against the proof above and recommends the right next step, in or out of scandiweb’s scope.
