Challenge

The business needed to support distinct B2B and B2C buying journeys without a large ecommerce, product, or MarTech organization. It also needed to improve front-end performance, reduce integration cost and complexity, and create a more flexible foundation for personalized commerce at scale.

Solution

Decima Digital built a hybrid commerce architecture on Adobe Commerce with separate customer experiences for retail, wholesale, and commercial segments. Intelligent customer classification, segment-specific pricing and checkout flows, negotiable quotes, quick order tools, and account-based purchasing features were implemented to streamline the B2B buying experience.

To improve performance and user experience, Decima Digital rebuilt the front end with Hyva, reducing load times significantly and improving Lighthouse scores. Adobe Product Recommendations, Adobe Live Search, and Page Builder-driven content were embedded to strengthen discovery, relevance, and campaign agility.

On the integration side, Decima Digital began replacing an expensive Boomi footprint with Adobe App Builder, starting with NetSuite-to-Commerce fulfillment automation and expanding toward orders, customers, terms and credit, and invoices over a 6–9 month roadmap.

Results

  • 6x overall revenue growth with zero marketing spend. B2B revenue went from negligible to a primary revenue driver.
  • PDP Lighthouse scores of 98 / 95 / 96 / 85.
  • Average front-end load time reduced from more than 6 seconds to 2.88 seconds.
  • Time to first byte at or below 300ms.
  • Reduced manual merchandising through automated recommendations and rule-based targeting.
  • A foundation for lower-cost, more scalable integrations through Adobe App Builder.

The platform itself has driven organic growth through better functionality, smoother purchasing processes, and improved customer experience.

What's next

GrowGeneration is continuing to expand its Adobe-native architecture with Adobe Payment Services and deeper App Builder-driven integration, supporting more personalized experiences, stronger data freshness, and more flexible account-aware commerce journeys over time.

The Decima difference

This engagement demonstrates what's possible when deep Adobe Commerce platform knowledge meets disciplined implementation. Hyvä for front-end performance. App Builder replacing costly middleware. Native Adobe features reducing manual effort. Every decision was made with speed as well as long-term maintainability and lower total cost of ownership in mind. That's what native-first implementation looks like in practice.

Decima Digital proved to be true partners: knowledgeable, responsive, flexible, and committed to our success.
