CASE STUDY 02 OF 12
Digital Beverage Group
Modernizing commerce at scale.
Migrated historical commerce data to Shopify and Linnworks while working across platform operations, internal tools, performance, and IT for a growing wine business.
- historical orders migrated
- 2M
- historical order value
- $150M
- brands in the Cloudflare scope
- 20
01 / CONTEXT
The brief
A Napa-based wine ecommerce group was moving from the legacy Offset Figure inventory and commerce platform to Shopify and Linnworks. The modernization sat within a broader growth environment involving organic expansion, private equity, and acquisitions. My role expanded from ecommerce administration to Director of Technology.
02 / RESPONSIBILITY
What I owned
- Develop the Python and Pandas workflows used to migrate historical order and customer data.
- Work across strategy, implementation, and daily operations for the commerce platforms.
- Support internal tools, web performance, Cloudflare security, and corporate IT.
03 / EXECUTION
How the work was delivered
I authored Python and Pandas notebooks for the order and customer migration, using SQL alongside the new commerce and warehouse systems. The historical transfer covered two million orders representing $150 million in order value. These totals refer to historical orders transferred between platforms.
The operating environment included Shopify Plus, Linnworks, Klaviyo, and AfterShip. Retool work connected internal-tool development with QA, user acceptance, and deployment. BrowserStack and Datadog supported performance work; Cloudflare WAF, bot controls, and Workers formed part of the web infrastructure. Linux, Docker Compose, and Airbyte were also part of the broader technical environment.
04 / EVIDENCE
Delivery and evidence
- Completed the documented migration of two million historical orders and their associated order value.
- Established production operations across the new commerce, warehouse, marketing, and post-purchase stack.
- Supported a business reporting 40% group-wide growth through technology modernization and operating delivery.
The 40% figure is group-wide business growth, not an isolated attribution to this migration. The measurement period is not specified here.
