BUILD-BUILD - RUN - GROW

Our holistically integrated commerce engineering approach across Build, Run and Grow achieves sustainable results because it treatsstrategy, implementation, operation and optimization as a cohesive system.
E-commerce since 1998, digital commerce since 2016.

Today: Commerce Engineering & Growth Partner for the Upper Midmarket

A phase-focused approach can be very strong in its respective discipline: Build brings new features live quickly, Run ensures stability and reliability, Grow increases conversion and sales potential. However, for these strengths to have a lasting effect, the transitions need to be properly dovetailed - otherwise context and responsibility are lost, backlogs become disconnected from real operational data and growth ideas collide with technical or operational limitations.

A holistically integrated commerce engineering approach across build, run and grow therefore achieves measurably more sustainable results: Strategy, implementation, operation and optimization are organized as an end-to-end system - with short feedback loops, clear ownership and continuous improvement based on real usage and performance data.

Build: Start Fast - Grow Sustainably

In the build phase, we do not implement as fully as possible until the go-live, but create the best possible starting point for continuous growth: fast enough to make an impact - and clean enough to develop iteratively, securely, measurably and cost-efficiently later on.

A common understanding of wishes, requirements and goals as well as their technical, organizational and financial implications are the basis for the development of a future-proof target architecture.

We define verifiable objectives and set clear criteria for measuring success. The go-live provides you with a reliable KPI basis - with full transparency regarding TCO and the impact of your investments.

On the basis of selected technology partnerships, we create differentiating brand experiences, if necessary with PIM and B2B features, powerful CMS, high-performance search, sophisticated consent management and server-side measurement infrastructure.

even for companies with the highest UX requirements, complex product data, international sales or demanding business processes - even in strictly regulated markets with clearly defined compliance requirements.

Run: Your Commerce Growth Engine

Run is the phase in which we turn your commerce platform into a reliable, measurable and rapidly adaptable growth engine. In terms of growth-driven design, DevOps and based on Kubernetes, we ensure that you can work quickly, stably, securely and data-driven. You always know what is happening, why it is happening and what effect each change has had.

We ensure maximum performance, uncompromising security and maximum availability - including end-to-end observability, optimized core web vitals (Largest Contentful Paint and Interaction to Next Paint), strict security and compliance standards as well as efficient FinOps and GreenOps management.

Grow: Systematic Optimization Process Instead of Campaign Fireworks.

With our 3C cycle and the Digital Commerce Roadmap, we systematically increase conversion, basket value and repurchases in Grow - data-driven via CRO, personalization, CRM/lifecycle and MarTech - for higher customer lifetime value and sustainably more efficient customer acquisition costs.

To make growth reproducible, we rely on repeatable, data-based improvement cycles: Learn → Prioritize → Test → Roll out → Measure. The aim is to get more impact from the same platform in the long term: better conversion, higher efficiency, better customer experiences - with controlled risks and costs.

"With the new digital platform, we have taken a big step towards modern citizen services. The collaboration with Blackbit was characterized by transparency, expertise and a real understanding of the requirements of the municipal sector. We were particularly impressed by how technical complexity was translated into user-friendly, practical solutions - both for citizens and for our internal processes."

"Switching from HubSpot to Mailchimp was a logical step for us: we were only using a fraction of HubSpot's extensive functions, but were faced with high running costs. With Mailchimp, we now have a tool that exactly meets our requirements - lean, efficient and significantly more cost-effective."

"After the order was placed in February 2020 with the ambitious target date of fall 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has also given online retail a much higher priority in our company and further increased the need for a timely relaunch."

"It was simply a mega collaboration between Blackbit and Second Elements: All SEO suggestions were implemented superbly and a switch to HubSpot was only made when everything was really ready. The technically much better system and the faster loading time gave the new website a head start."
