Case Study: CoreCommerce achieves structure and efficiency with LeanKit

Corecommerce Uses Leankit to Provide Structure, Execute Efficiently and Stay Sane in a Fast-moving Startup Environment

CoreCommerce, a hosted ecommerce provider supporting over 13,000 stores and $1.2B in transactions, struggled with chaotic work handoffs managed by email, verbal requests and a sprawling Google doc. As the fast-moving startup grew, tracking priorities and meeting outcomes became time-consuming and error-prone, prompting leadership to seek a clearer way to manage requests and day-to-day processes.

By adopting LeanKit and applying Kanban concepts across the company, CoreCommerce created about 15 visual boards (starting with a Directors To‑Do board) to assign owners, due dates and meeting agendas. The result: smoother handoffs, fewer and shorter meetings, real‑time mobile collaboration and a measurable reduction in chaos—freeing time to execute work more efficiently and keep the team aligned.
