805boots

AHA Shoes Inc. entrusted us with engineering the digital transformation of an 89-year-old retail legacy. We merged Takken’s Shoes and Carr’s Boots into 805Boots, a highly scalable, multi-tenant digital marketplace specializing in industrial safety footwear.

We guaranteed the operational efficiency of this platform by orchestrating complex B2B corporate compliance portals and omnichannel parity—syncing real-time distributed inventory across multiple California fulfillment nodes.

Task

Building an enterprise digital ecosystem requires bridging the logistical gap between localized retail footprints and a borderless, highly scalable digital commerce environment.

Overview

We're redefining the omnichannel retail experience.

Standard consumer retail is straightforward, but managing corporate safety compliance across thousands of product variants takes logic to a whole new level! We engineered specialized B2B purchasing pipelines to administer employee equipment vouchers. We believe in being a team of architects who solve the most complex, distributed inventory challenges for legacy brands.

Challenges

Overcoming extreme dimensional complexity.

Footwear requires a multi-axis matrix (sizes × widths × safety toe types). A single boot can easily exceed standard database limits of 100 variants. Our solution: We structurally decoupled complex parent products, separating configurations like “Soft Toe” and “Composite Toe” into unique entities, and utilized dynamic faceted navigation to seamlessly recombine them for the user. We also conquered the “Double-Spend Problem” by establishing real-time point-of-sale inventory webhook synchronization across 4 geographic nodes.

The Approach

Redefining digital commerce performance.

Look sharp, filter efficiently! We built an orthogonal taxonomy model. Instead of rigid brand categories, users query safety footwear based on contextual occupational environments (e.g., Agriculture, Utilities) mapped directly to ASTM technical compliance standards.
