Scandinavian Tobacco Group needed a new support partner for their Salesforce Commerce Cloud operations. Kasama took over maintenance and development for existing sites, expanded the platform to new properties, and resolved critical issues — while building the internal team to eventually own it.

The brief

  • Assume support, maintenance and development for two existing sites
  • Expand the platform to additional Commerce Cloud sites
  • Resolve immediate performance bottlenecks and critical errors
  • Build internal team capacity for long-term operations
01

The challenge

  • Checkout down on day one

    Checkout was failing the moment the engagement began.

  • Performance issues

    Coding inefficiencies caused critical performance problems.

  • Setup & API errors

    Errors spanned page setup, rendering, and API functionality.

  • Disorganized codebase

    The repository needed restructuring and a 175+ ticket backlog cleared.

02

Our approach

  • Immediate hotfix

    Deployed an urgent production fix for the checkout failure.

  • Repo restructure

    Reorganized the repository with structured development and release branches.

  • QA & automation

    Introduced comprehensive QA processes and automated testing.

  • Workflow & staffing

    Optimized ticketing with custom dashboards and helped recruit the internal team.

03

What we delivered

  • Full QA coverage

    ~4,100 test cases executed across multiple testing types.

  • Backlog cleared

    175+ issues resolved and nearly 300 tickets completed.

  • Documented processes

    Efficient, repeatable operational workflows.

  • A ready team

    A trained internal team prepared to own the platform.
