In the hustle and bustle of e-commerce, think about having a solution architect that helps you thrive in your digital presence. Heading high, running a 7-8 figured e-commerce store, and managing customers, vendors, third-party integrations, and a team is challenging. Adding further personalization or custom solutions to the highly-functional e-commerce side will break the entire store resulting in lower conversions & sales. Why? Because there’s no pre-defined solution or workflow, adding everything would lead to a disaster. An E-commerce business analyst leads the pivotal role by defining solutions to your business needs and helping craft a roadmap for success, paving the way for the business to flourish with purpose and direction.
