As you know, e-commerce is undergoing a significant transformation. With this change comes tremendous growth in the IT needs of online retailers. From building AI-driven online support to creating personalized buyer journeys, in-house e-commerce development teams are being overwhelmed with projects.
In the pursuit of embracing an omnichannel lifecycle, these teams often face the most challenging conundrum — whether to maintain development in-house or outsource to a third party. In addition, emerging technologies, such as AI, robotics, logistics management, and drone delivery, demand skill sets that often fall outside the scope and knowledge of limited e-commerce development teams. Further, these technologies evolve at the speed of innovation. Therefore, the natural course of action is to fill this knowledge gap with outside help.
Benefits of Working with a Technology Partner for eCommerce Development
Bring Products to Market Faster
Turning to a technology partner for your e-commerce development gives you immediate access to expert-level knowledge. Your technology partner can excel on a wide range of platforms, integrations, and emerging technologies.
This means that your in-house teams won’t have to go through extensive training or learn new technologies. They won’t have to slow projects down as they navigate a learning curve. Instead, you get access to a talented pool of developers. These experts understand the ins and outs of releasing new digital stores and adding features to your existing assets. They can help speed up timelines for your biggest e-commerce projects, ensuring the work is executed efficiently and correctly.
Tap into Resources with Diverse Expertise
A strategic IT partner with many years of experience will offer you a pool of resources with expertise across multiple industries. These diverse experts bring to the table a broad range of experiences that can further enhance the overall capabilities and processes of your development team’s efforts. Every stage of development will progress smoother, faster, and with improved quality.
Get Access to Advanced Technologies
Collaborating with a strategic IT partner means that your e-commerce solution will be utilizing the latest tools and software. With IT being its core function, outsourcing firms regularly invest in advanced technologies and staff training to develop products that meet stringent quality standards. Most offshore development companies even have their own tools and products to support the latest trends in the market.
Focus on Core Activities
As a retailer, your core business function is to bring quality products to your end customers while offering the best purchasing and customer support experiences to them. Likewise, if you’re an e-commerce development company, you specialize in the front-end and back-end of retail systems and their capabilities. Tasking a partner to handle key components and processes needed to complete the omnichannel shopping experience means you’ll have more time to perfect core business initiatives and improve the buyer’s journey.
Less Capital Investment
A strategic technology partner frees up your budget for improving other business functions. You won’t need to hire specialized and expensive in-house talent to help you develop and deploy each new technology feature. In addition, you also have the flexibility to scale up or down resources needed to pivot quickly without recruiting and hiring costs.
