Multi-Brand E-Commerce: Limoges, PBS Kids & More
Scaling Magento-based e-commerce platforms for multiple retail brands with custom storefronts and automated catalog management
Overview
Kwanso partnered with multiple retail brands including Limoges Jewelry, PBS Kids Shop, and others to design, build, and maintain robust online storefronts.
Each shop required unique branding and tailored features, but all needed to be supported by a scalable, reliable Magento-based e-commerce platform that could handle high traffic, product catalog complexity, and secure checkout experiences.
The Challenge

- Brand Customization: Each shop had its own look, feel, and functional requirements (e.g., PBS Kids Shop focusing on merchandise tied to children's programming, Limoges Jewelry requiring personalization features).
- Product Catalog Management: Thousands of SKUs with unique attributes needed efficient import/export and categorization.
- Scalability & Performance: Shops had to withstand traffic spikes during promotions and holiday seasons.
- Payment & Shipping: Integration with multiple payment gateways and shipping providers.
