Case Study

Driving D2C Growth Through a Scalable eCommerce Ecosystem

Problem Statement

A premium non-alcoholic beverage brand was struggling to scale its online Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) sales. Key challenges included:

  • Lack of a scalable and flexible backend

  • Limited payment gateway integrations for both domestic and international transactions

  • Inefficient logistics processes with no real-time tracking or automation

These gaps led to slow order fulfillment, poor customer experience, and constrained sales growth.

Approach

To address these issues, OMD designed a customizable, secure, and scalable eCommerce platform using Ruby on Rails. The solution prioritized performance, API extensibility, and smooth integration with third-party services for payments and logistics.

Strategies Implemented

  • Built a full-stack eCommerce platform from scratch using Ruby on Rails.

  • Integrated Razorpay and Stripe to support seamless national and international transactions.

  • Connected with Shiprocket and Delhivery for automated order fulfillment and real-time tracking.

  • Enabled robust inventory management, a dynamic discount engine, and infrastructure for flash sales.

  • Developed marketing-ready features including:

    • Upsell and referral workflows

    • Email automation readiness

    • Promotional tools designed to boost engagement and retention

Milestones Achieved

  • 3× increase in online sales within the first 60 days post-launch

  • 45% reduction in order dispatch time through streamlined logistics automation

  • 95% system uptime with real-time order and payment synchronization

  • Conversion rate improvement from 1.2% to 3.6%, driven by enhanced performance and user experience

Outcome

The new system enabled the brand to operate a fully integrated, real-time D2C engine—reducing manual intervention, enhancing customer satisfaction, and positioning the business for sustained growth.
