Challenges: How to Build a Successful eCommerce Website?

Despite their innovative edge, PinkNoise Systems Ltd faced several significant challenges:

1. Unsatisfactory User Experience: 

The old platform's slow load times and poor mobile experience caused significant customer friction and lost sales.

2. System Complexity: 

The legacy platform was overly tech-centric, failing to align with customer needs, resulting in a complicated system.

3. Content Management: 

Outdated systems and processes made content management a significant challenge.

4. Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM): 

Managing VAT exemptions for EU customers was problematic, affecting compliance and satisfaction.
