Case Study: Summer Infant achieves 13× mobile transactions and faster site performance with Kentico

Summer Infant - Customer Case Study

Summer Infant, a global maker of premium juvenile products, engaged MethodFactory to upgrade its e-commerce site from Kentico 6 to 8.2, implement a responsive UI, and adopt Kentico Online Digital Marketing. The project was complicated by extensive customizations and critical integrations—orders flowed from the cart through MS‑BizTalk into MS‑Dynamics ERP—and the site processed about 80–100 orders per day, so maintaining uninterrupted order and customer data flow was essential.

MethodFactory built a mirrored test environment, partnered with Kentico support to perform iterative sequential upgrades and remediate custom issues, and developed the responsive mobile UI and e-commerce features for deployment into 8.2. Results in the first six months post-launch versus the prior year: mobile pages/sessions +31%, mobile transactions up 13×, average page load time down 36%, server response 65% faster, and mobile bounce rate down 6%. Kentico was chosen for its all‑in‑one platform and strong partner ecosystem, with MethodFactory providing the supplemental expertise.
