What changes when it is e-commerce

Orqent Labs migrates warehouses in stages, reconciled at every step, so trust in the numbers survives the move.

In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how data warehouse migration has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction, usually integrated against CRM. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector

How quickly can we see conversion impact?

Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.

Can you fix our catalogue data?

Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.

How do you avoid breaking reports?

Row-level and aggregate reconciliation between old and new, plus dual running until the numbers agree. Consumers move in stages, never all at once.

Which warehouse should we move to?

It depends on workload and existing cloud. We model cost against your real query patterns rather than list pricing, and sometimes the answer is to stay.

How long does it take?

Driven by the number of downstream consumers far more than data volume. The inventory in week one gives a realistic estimate.
