The Gold Standard in Commerce System Benchmarking
In just weeks, CommerceAudit™ delivers a leadership-ready assessment of your Shopify-led commerce ecosystem—spanning storefront performance, conversion, integrations, operations, and cost efficiency—with a clear, defensible roadmap for scale.
Immediate clarity, zero risk.
Why CommerceAudit™
Why Commerce Improvements Break Down Without System Clarity
Launching and optimizing Shopify initiatives without objective benchmarks creates friction across conversion, cost, and operations—causing performance gains to stall and decisions to slow.
Shopify Launches Without System-Level Clarity
Commerce initiatives go live without a holistic view of storefront performance, integrations, operations, and scalability constraints.
Conversion Gains Plateau Despite Optimization
Incremental CRO efforts fail to deliver sustained improvement when underlying system and checkout issues remain unresolved.
App Sprawl Increases Cost and Fragility
Overlapping apps inflate operating costs, degrade performance, and introduce unnecessary complexity into the commerce stack.
Disconnected Systems and Opinion-Led Decisions
ERP, OMS, CRM, and fulfillment remain loosely connected—forcing architecture decisions to rely on opinion instead of benchmarks.
Over 70% of ecommerce replatforming projects fail to meet ROI expectations
Page speed and checkout friction account for up to 35% of lost conversions
20%-30% of commerce costs are tied to redundant apps and manual workflows
THE BIG IDEA — COMMERCEAUDIT™
Replacing Opinion With Benchmark-Driven Clarity
CommerceAudit™ is not a Shopify site review. It’s a proprietary, system-level benchmarking engagement that quantifies where your commerce ecosystem stands—and what must change to scale with confidence.
A Proprietary Commerce Maturity Model
Benchmarking across conversion, architecture, integrations, operations, cost efficiency, and scalability—using HeadToNet’s cross-industry standards.
System-Level Benchmarking (Not a Shopify Audit)
Evaluates the entire commerce ecosystem—including integrations, workflows, and downstream systems—not just storefront features.

Objective Architecture Recommendations
Evidence-based guidance on native (headed) vs headless Shopify—free from platform bias or build-first agendas.
Leadership-Ready Roadmap
Quantified gaps translated into a clear, prioritized roadmap leaders can defend, fund, and execute against.
