Enterprise architecture services that end in a priced blueprint
Enterprise architecture consulting turns an accumulated commerce stack into a designed one. We document the current state as it actually behaves, then draw the target eCommerce architecture and the order of change to reach it.
Everything is written to build depth: a system-by-system integration map with the platform rationale attached, and a specification your delivery team can price and start from without another discovery phase.

Where commerce architectures break down
An integration estimate that takes weeks, or a launch waiting on a vendor's release calendar, is usually an architecture problem surfacing in operations. Most stacks were never designed as one system, and the cost of that shows up in day-to-day delivery speed.
A stack that grew one system at a time
Each addition solved a real problem and was connected to whatever existed then. The dependencies were never drawn, so nobody can predict what a change will touch.
Point-to-point integrations, no owner
ERP and PIM connectors were built by different vendors in different years. When one fails, the debugging starts with working out how the connector works.
A platform chosen before the plan
Vendor demos are driving the replatform decision because no target state exists to test them against. The architecture comes first, then the shortlist.
Enterprise architecture services for every layer of the stack
Every recommendation in our enterprise architecture consulting services is delivered as a document, with its assumptions and costs stated. The scope can be one layer of the stack or the whole estate, and the architect stays the same person throughout.
Target-state architecture design
The end state of your commerce stack, drawn to a level a build team can work from, with the order of change and its reasoning attached.
Composable commerce architecture
A working evaluation of MACH and composable for your case: where splitting the stack pays, and where it only adds integration cost.
Back-office integration mapping
Every ERP, PIM, and OMS connection documented with its owner and its failure behavior, so connector work can be quoted from the map alone.
Platform selection and cost rationale
A recommendation with the running-cost case behind it, informed by partner delivery on Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, and commercetools.
Solution architecture for delivery teams
Project-level solution architecture services: one system or feature designed to build depth, kept consistent with the estate-wide plan.
Architecture review and governance
An independent review of an existing architecture, or standing governance where new designs are checked against the target state before build.

An architect reads your stack with you and puts the first risks in writing.
How enterprise architecture consulting works
Each stage closes with a named deliverable. Pricing enters at stage three: the specification is quoted by the delivery engineers themselves, so the blueprint and its build cost reach leadership together.
Current-state system mapping
Architects interview your team and inspect the stack directly, then produce the as-is map of every system and integration, with known risks ranked and manual workarounds documented.
Target-state architecture
The future map of the estate, with the reasoning on record: what each system is for and why it earns its place. Platform recommendations come with the business numbers behind them.
Build-ready specification, priced
The blueprint becomes a specification detailed enough to start delivery from, and the team that would do the work attaches a firm quote to each stage.
Architect-led build governance
Optional after handoff: scheduled architecture reviews during the build, with deviations documented before they become expensive to reverse.

Why eCommerce teams choose scandiweb
Architecture priced at the source
Few enterprise architecture consulting firms employ their own delivery engineers. scandiweb does, so each design is costed inside the company that can build it.
Partnered with competing vendors
Adobe Gold Solutions Partner, Hyvä and Pimcore Platinum, Shopify Plus, and the AWS Partner Network: platform advice with no single vendor's sales target behind it.
An open-source architecture record
scandiweb created ScandiPWA, an open-source storefront architecture used in production worldwide. When we recommend a pattern, our reference implementation is public.
Infrastructure we built and operate
ReadyMage, scandiweb's own hosting and deployment platform, sits behind its Adobe Commerce projects. Infrastructure advice is drawn from operating it daily.
Deliverables you own outright
Every deliverable is written for your team and stays yours whoever does the build. There is no proprietary license on the blueprint and no lock-in attached.
The same architect to the end
The person who drew your target state stays on the account through delivery, reviewing what gets built against what was first designed, in-house or with us.

Frequently asked questions about enterprise architecture consulting
What is enterprise architecture in eCommerce?
Enterprise architecture in eCommerce is the design of how your commerce systems work as one: the selling platform, ERP, PIM, OMS, and the data layer, plus the integrations between them. It sets a target state for the whole stack, so each platform decision and each build is measured against one plan.
What deliverables does an enterprise architecture consultant produce?
Enterprise architecture consulting produces four core deliverables: the as-is map of your systems and integrations, the target-state architecture with its platform rationale, the build-ready specification, and a stage-by-stage delivery quote. At scandiweb the enterprise architecture consultant is a working solution architect, so each document is written for a delivery team to work from.
What drives the cost of enterprise architecture consulting?
The cost of enterprise architecture consulting moves with the number of systems and integrations in scope, and with how far the design is taken: an architecture review costs less than a full target-state design with a build specification. scandiweb prices each stage as fixed scope, quoted in writing before it starts. For continuous ownership, enterprise architecture as a service keeps an architect on the account between stages.
Solution architecture vs enterprise architecture: which first?
Enterprise architecture covers the whole commerce estate: platforms, integrations, data, and the order of change. Solution architecture consulting designs one system or project inside that estate to build-ready depth. Most eCommerce businesses use both at different moments, and scandiweb staffs both with the same architects, so the project-level design always matches the estate-level plan.
Is composable commerce architecture right for us?
Composable commerce architecture fits when parts of your stack change at different speeds: frontend, search, checkout, or content outgrowing the platform release cycle. An architecture review weighs the integration and operating cost of composable against your team size and catalog before any platform is named. If composable wins, the storefront side is delivered as headless commerce development.
Do you build what you design?
Yes. scandiweb's own engineers price the blueprint and then deliver it, so the specification is built by the people who wrote it. If you keep delivery in-house, the documents are written to full build depth and the architects stay available for questions while your team builds.
Book your eCommerce architecture review
Enterprise architecture consulting starts with a review of your current stack. If the target state calls for a build, the same engineers deliver it, whether that is microservices development or a full website migration.
