eCommerce Design & Development
Commerce Application Design & Development
We help organisations excel online with their digital propositions. Growing revenues and providing delightful digital customer experiences.
Delivering digital change regularly
Due to the complexities and challenges found with existing technologies and integrations, pure agile is something that is normally unachievable whilst at the same time providing rapid change. This is why we’ve developed our own pragmatic approach to agile, allowing clients to integrate important elements of their business processes. Our expert team is still on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the professional way you would expect from a partner, focusing heavily on the delivery of quality software that is able to achieve your business objectives and delight your customers.
The Biggest Risk: Building the Wrong Thing
The biggest risk to a digital business is building the wrong product, this wastes time and money and will lead to your business not achieving success. Unfortunately, in most cases it is unclear what the right product actually is which is why our delivery process addresses these questions before a developer touches a keyboard.
Let DeeperThanBlue help you build the Right Thing!

Some of out latest work:
Andertons Music – Making their digital channels Rock
Andertons Music Co. is a global music brand with a reach extending well beyond the British Isles. Their online store has become an international destination, but perhaps an even bigger phenomenon is Andertons TV. With over 60% of most UK e-commerce traffic being on mobile, Andertons Music new they had to up the beat with their digital transformation. The original site wasn’t optimised for consumer mobile devices and tablets. Working with DeeperThanBlue and their creative agency we designed a new user experience and new branding to engage consumers in the brand, help them find products easily on the small form factor and purchase quickly to ensure no loss in conversion. The solution was built on IBM’s WebSphere Commerce on Cloud offering and is run on the IBM Cloud (Softlayer) with DeeperThanBlue providing AMS support.

One of the largest online value retailers in the UK. Whilst historically catalogue based, over 68% of customers now shop on the web, mobile and through the call centre channels for their broad range of fashion, home and leisure items, toys and gifts. Serving 1.8m customers annually and, growing at double-digit, driving Findel Group performance. Developed and launched on IBM WebSphere Commerce with DeeperThanBlue in 2016 the team continue to extend the proposition from a backlog and planned development pipeline feeding monthly sprints and releases. This is not your simple everyday ecommerce site. Consumers are offered credit options for payment and therefore the integration and scoring services required to provide an instant credit decision at checkout are key.
