Strategic consultancy · Magento 2 e-commerce

You have an online store.
Is it as profitable as it could be?

WiMakeIT supports e-commerce leaders who want to step back, identify the real growth levers and prioritise the right investments — before spending a single euro on development.

Sound familiar?

These questions deserve an expert’s answer, not the answer of a provider looking to sell development work.

“We invested in an e-commerce site but sales aren’t taking off. We don’t know where to start.”
“We have plenty of ideas for improvements. But we don’t know which ones to prioritise or which ones will really make a difference.”
“Our agency proposes developments, but we don’t always understand whether they’re really what we need.”
“We want to move into new markets or channels, but we don’t know if our current platform can keep up.”
“Our e-commerce logistics cost too much relative to our average order value. We don’t know whether the problem lies with the site or with our organisation.”
“We want to digitalise our B2B sales, but we don’t know how to position the site relative to our reseller network.”
“We spend a marketing budget on Google and social media, but the conversion rate is still disappointing.”

Our added value

An outside perspective, hands-on experience, a candid opinion.

WiMakeIT is not a generalist consulting firm. We are a Magento agency that has supported dozens of e-commerce projects — from launch to growth, from B2C to complex B2B, from a simple store to a multi-country set-up with a connected ERP. We put this hands-on experience at your service to help you make the right decisions.

Our commitment: to tell you what will really drive growth — even if the answer is “don’t do this development”, “this isn’t a technical issue” or “start here, not there”.

Areas of expertise

What can we advise you on?

The profitability of an e-commerce business depends on dozens of interdependent decisions. WiMakeIT helps you see clearly which levers really matter in your situation.

🎯

E-commerce strategy and positioning

Is your store correctly positioned in relation to your offer, your market and your competitors? We analyse your online value proposition, the fit between your catalogue and your target audience, and the friction points that hold back purchases. We help you define a realistic e-commerce ambition and a clear direction — before investing in technology.

📊

Investment prioritisation

Hyvä or no Hyvä? A new search engine? A B2B portal? A marketplace? Every project has a different cost, timeline and impact. WiMakeIT helps you build a roadmap prioritised by likely return on investment — not by what is technically interesting to develop. We also say clearly what is not a priority.

🚚

Logistics and operational profitability

Logistics cost per order is one of the biggest margin killers in e-commerce. We analyse your picking, shipping and returns chain: free-shipping threshold, carrier strategy, returns management, packaging policy, whether a third-party warehouse makes sense. These decisions often have more impact than a site redesign.

🤝

Digitalising B2B sales

Opening an e-commerce portal to your business customers is a strategic decision, not just a technical one. How should the site be positioned relative to your resellers? Which B2B features really add value for your buyers? How do you stop the site from cannibalising your sales network? WiMakeIT has supported many B2B transitions and helps you define the right model before building.

🌍

Expanding into new markets

Selling in France, the Netherlands, Germany or elsewhere takes more than translating the site. Local VAT, suitable carriers, different buying behaviour, SEO per market, cross-border logistics, local payment methods — WiMakeIT helps you assess the feasibility and profitability of an expansion before committing the necessary resources.

🧩

Architecture and integration choices

ERP, PIM, CRM, payment solution, carrier, marketing tool — your e-commerce ecosystem is made up of interdependent building blocks. WiMakeIT helps you map what you have, identify what’s missing, choose the right tools and define how they should fit together. A poor integration choice costs far more to fix than to get right from the start.

⚡

Performance and conversion

A low conversion rate can stem from a slow page, a poorly designed checkout, a catalogue that is hard to navigate, an off-putting shipping policy or a lack of reassurance. WiMakeIT analyses your conversion funnel, identifies the friction points and distinguishes what comes down to a technical decision, an editorial choice or a problem with the offer.

🤖

Artificial intelligence and automation

AI can automate repetitive tasks, personalise the shopping experience and reduce operating costs. But poorly targeted, it eats up budget with no measurable impact. WiMakeIT helps you identify where AI really creates value in your context: product recommendations, handling incoming emails, large-scale content generation, smart search — and separate what’s useful from what’s just a passing trend.

How we work together

One hour or six months: we adapt to your needs.

Strategic consultancy doesn’t follow a single format. Some clients need a one-off opinion before a major decision. Others want a regular partner to steer their roadmap over the long term.

One-off

Advisory session

A half-day or full day with a WiMakeIT expert. You prepare your questions, we prepare an analysis of your situation. You leave with concrete answers and a prioritised action plan.

  • → Before an investment decision
  • → To get a stalled situation moving
  • → Second opinion on an ongoing project
Recommended
Project

Full strategic audit

In-depth analysis of your e-commerce business over 2 to 4 weeks: performance, conversion, logistics, integrations, positioning, growth opportunities. Deliverable: a report of prioritised recommendations with an impact and budget estimate for each lever.

  • → Analysis of your data and KPIs
  • → Competitive benchmarking
  • → Prioritised 12-month roadmap
  • → Presentation to your management
Ongoing

Strategic partner

WiMakeIT becomes your go-to e-commerce contact. Regular follow-up, monthly performance reviews, validation of decisions before execution, support for in-house teams. Ideal for organisations without an in-house e-commerce director.

  • → Monthly KPI tracking
  • → Ongoing trade-offs between priorities
  • → Monitoring of market developments

What sets us apart

Advice grounded in reality, not theory.

The difference between useful strategic advice and a nice report that ends up in a drawer is being grounded in reality. WiMakeIT knows the concrete constraints of Magento, Belgian ERPs and B2B e-commerce — not from an Excel spreadsheet, but from delivered projects.

💶

We know what it really costs

When we recommend a development, we know how much it costs, how long it takes and what risks it involves. No estimates pulled out of thin air.

🚫

We also tell you what not to do

Some developments are unnecessary. Some features don’t serve your customers. Some projects need to wait. Good advice also means knowing how to say no — without trying to sell more.

🔭

We see the whole system

Platform, ERP, logistics, internal organisation, marketing — a profitable e-commerce business is a coherent system. We don’t just advise on the site, but on everything that affects your profitability.

📍

We know the Belgian market

Belgian tax specifics, local ERPs, buying behaviour in Wallonia and Flanders, distribution networks — our local roots allow us to make recommendations tailored to your reality, not to a generic market.

⚡

From advice to execution

If the consultancy leads to a development project, WiMakeIT can carry it out. You don’t need to find a new provider to implement the recommendations — continuity is guaranteed.

🔓

Vendor independence

WiMakeIT doesn’t take commissions on the tools or solutions it recommends. Our advice is independent — we recommend what’s good for your business, not what’s good for our margin.

A real-world example

“We wanted to completely rebuild our checkout. WiMakeIT showed us that the real problem lay elsewhere: our shipping costs were displayed too late in the process. We changed one line of configuration. The abandonment rate dropped by 18% in two weeks — without spending a euro on development.”

This kind of conclusion — simple, quick, high-impact — doesn’t come from a technical audit. It comes from reading the data alongside hands-on experience.

FAQ

Your questions about strategic consultancy.

Yes. Strategic consultancy is independent of technical execution. WiMakeIT can help you define a roadmap, assess your current agency’s proposals or prepare a specification — without necessarily taking on the development.

Yes, on topics that don’t depend on the platform: strategy, logistics, pricing, B2B, new markets, integrations. On Magento-specific topics, our expertise is obviously deeper. If your situation involves a migration to Magento, we can also support you with that decision.

There’s no wrong time. Before a launch, to lay the right foundations. After 12–24 months of trading, to identify what’s holding back growth. Before a major investment, to validate its relevance. During a period of stagnation, to find the right levers. The earlier, the more cost-effective it usually is.

A structured report covering: the current state of your e-commerce business, the strengths to keep, the obstacles identified, the growth opportunities, and a prioritised 12-month roadmap with an impact and budget estimate for each recommendation. The report is presented in a meeting with your management, not simply sent by email.

A 30-minute call is enough to understand your situation, your challenges and what you expect. We then propose the best-suited format — one-off session, full audit or ongoing support — with a clear estimate. No sales proposal until we’ve understood your needs.

Your e-commerce business can be more profitable. Let’s talk.

30 minutes to understand where you stand and tell you honestly what we can do for you. No jargon, no hard sell.
