Client Overview
About Dekanta
Dekanta is an online store that sells rare and collectible Japanese whisky. Along with selling bottles they also offer cask investment options for collectors and investors around the world. As their business started growing globally, their operations became more complex. This included managing inventory, handling international logistics, and dealing with high-value transactions. However, their existing ecommerce system was not strong enough to handle these growing needs.
Scaling a global ecommerce business
As Dekanta expanded, they faced several important challenges across platform performance, inventory management, and high-value transactional support.
Ecommerce platform was basic, not built for scaling, and had poor customization options.
Performance issues caused slowdowns as overall traffic increased.
Managing warehouses in different countries (UK and Japan) became difficult.
Tracking rare whisky bottles lacked real-time inventory synchronization.
No proper system for handling high-value premium product sales or complex buying processes.
Many operational processes were manual, slow, and lacked a central management system.
Poor website speed resulted in low organic traffic and weak search engine visibility.
Platform Limitations to Overcome
Basic system with slow performance during traffic spikes.
No real-time sync across multi-country warehouses.
Lacked secure, robust payment handling for premium goods.
Overreliance on slow, manual backend processes.

Slow site speed holding back search engine rankings.
