When essential business rules cannot be supported well by configuration or focused extensions. We compare that gap with the cost of owning and operating custom software before recommending a build. ### Do all parts need to be built from scratch? No. Existing commerce, payment, search and operational services can remain part of the architecture. The boundary follows the business requirements and ownership model. ### Can you support B2B purchasing? Account-specific catalogues, approval steps, quotes and purchasing rules can be scoped where needed. The exact rules and exceptions must be agreed with the business. ### How do you prevent inventory conflicts? We define the source of truth and test reservation, release and reconciliation rules across the connected systems. The implementation depends on the inventory system and order lifecycle. ### Can we migrate without replacing everything at once? A staged migration may be appropriate. We map system boundaries, data ownership and cutover dependencies before agreeing which parts move and in what order. ### Who owns operations after handover? The agreement assigns hosting, monitoring, access, support and incident responsibilities. Your team receives the agreed source, deployment instructions and operational documentation. ## Which rule breaks the standard flow? Bring a real order example, its exceptions and the systems that hold the data. [Map My Commerce Platform](https://daphnislabs.com/contact?service=ecommerce-development)
