Case Study: RS Components achieves scalable e-commerce growth with Advanced

RS Components grows e-commerce revenue 40% monthly with Advanced

RS Components, a leading global distributor of electronic and industrial components, faced a challenge when its initial in-house e-commerce platform, built on a tight budget, became overwhelmed by a 40% month-on-month growth in revenue. Their traditional paper-catalogue business model lacked flexibility, and their rapidly growing online channel required a scalable and robust application architecture to support future growth. They engaged vendor Advanced for its JBoss expertise and consulting services to address this.

Advanced provided a team of consultants and developers who devised a new application architecture based on the JBoss stack and an SOA approach. They initially delivered a proof-of-concept and skills transfer before leading a full redevelopment of the core e-commerce system. The solution provided a scalable and extensible platform, enabling continued healthy growth and a shift to an online business model for RS Components. Advanced's flexible resource model allowed the project to be delivered quickly and cost-effectively.
