The challenge

Vision Direct — one of Europe's largest online contact-lens retailers — needed a checkout that held up under heavy, spiky demand without dropping orders.

What we did

We optimised the checkout and the database behind it, built custom REST APIs and features like SMS reorder, hardened the platform against spiky demand, and supported the move into the Salesforce ecosystem — engineering for throughput and reliability under load.

Happy to walk through any of this — the systems, the constraints, and what we'd do differently now.
