Scalable Enterprise Commerce Platform for Cappuccino Connection
For Cappuccino Connection, Evolve Blue built and ran Capporders.com as a Magento commerce platform. It brought four workflows into one system with B2B/B2C pricing, inventory rules, accounting links, AWS hosting, and long-term support.
Technology Stack
01 Overview
Cappuccino Connection engagement context.
Cappuccino Connection needed Capporders.com to be more than a standard online store. The business needed one Magento platform for four commerce workflows, coffee ordering, B2B/B2C pricing, inventory, and accounting.
The work grew over several years: first build, redesign, gap fixes, QA, improvements, and ongoing support. Evolve Blue stayed after launch to stabilize the platform, refine logic, lower AWS costs, and support new needs.
The result was one custom commerce engine with clear ownership, validated data flows, and a lower-maintenance base for growth.
02 The Challenge
Cappuccino Connection constraints to solve.
- Four commerce workflows had to move into one Magento platform without losing key business logic.
- B2B and B2C pricing needed custom rules instead of flat product pricing.
- Inventory and accounting work depended on clean data, validation, and reliable integrations.
- Standard third-party connectors were not reliable enough for the Sage accounting and commerce requirements.
- Storefront needs changed after launch, requiring redesign, stabilization, and repeated QA.
- The platform needed ongoing hosting, security, maintenance, training, documentation, and performance tuning.
03 The Solution
Cappuccino Connection solution architecture.
Evolve Blue treated the project as a living commerce platform, not a one-time website build. The team moved the legacy model into Magento and kept refining it as real needs appeared.
Custom modules and validation flows were used where standard connectors could not handle the data well. This helped the platform support pricing, inventory, and accounting without fragile plugins.
After launch, Evolve Blue continued to manage hosting, maintenance, QA, training, and support. That lowered overhead and kept the store stable.
