01
— The problem
The problem.
CeriFi was managing more than a dozen separate brand websites and multiple ecommerce systems, leading to inconsistent customer experiences, content duplication, and major inefficiencies across operations.
Marketing was hamstrung by a fragmented backend, outdated CMS, and an inability to track or scale campaigns effectively. Even running paid ads was off the table due to platform limitations, resulting in lost revenue opportunities.

— How we helped
How did we help?
Fusionary took over a stalled replatforming project and rebuilt CeriFi's entire ecommerce ecosystem using BigCommerce Multi-Storefront with a headless architecture. We layered in Builder.io for brand-specific content control, Algolia for real-time filtering, and a custom checkout system with institutional features.
Centralized, scalable brand ecosystem
Consolidated 12+ websites into one BigCommerce Multi-Storefront instance. Builder.io allows brand-specific content control within a unified architecture.
Smart navigation, regulated content
Algolia powers dynamic filtering across complex licensing paths and state-specific education requirements — essential for compliance-heavy products.
Custom checkout for organizations
A reusable checkout system with "Buy on Behalf Of" for institutional buyers — scales across storefronts with shared reporting and CMS control.
