The cost of reactive support
Every hour your store is down, your revenue is not
Most ecommerce teams discover a support problem after it becomes a revenue problem. Slow response, manual monitoring, and no defined escalation path cost you more than a managed retainer ever would.

The typical premium for unplanned incident response work
Without managed support
- Discover incidents from customer complaints, not monitoring
- Wait hours for a developer to become available
- Security patches applied weeks late, if at all
- No rollback plan means every deployment is a risk
With Redefine managed services
- Automated alerts fire before customers notice any issue
- Service level agreement-guaranteed response within 30 minutes to 2 hours
- Security patches scheduled and applied within 48 hours
- Every deployment staged, reviewed, and rollback-ready

Security patch management
CVE monitoring and patching within 48 hours for critical vulnerabilities. Scheduled maintenance windows for standard updates. Every patch tested on staging before production.
48-hour critical service level agreement
Service level agreement-backed incident response
P1 (site down) response in 30 minutes. P2 (critical feature broken) in 2 hours. Every incident gets a root cause report and a preventive fix, not just a restart.
30-minute P1 service level agreement
Performance optimization cycles
Monthly Core Web Vitals review, cache tuning, database query analysis, and image pipeline checks. Performance improvements are part of the retainer, not a separate statement of work.
Deployment safety net
Every release goes through a staged pipeline. Pre-deploy checklist, smoke test on staging, and a rollback plan documented before any code touches production.
Quarterly audit modules included
Every quarter your store receives a structured audit across four dimensions. Each audit produces a prioritized action list. Redefine handles the fixes as part of your plan, with no additional scope negotiation.

Managed ops that scaled revenue to $120 million

Corporate Gear
Corporate Apparel / Business-to-BusinessCorporate Gear serves businesses with branded merchandise and apparel through a headless ecommerce platform with enterprise resource planning integration.
Operational challenge
The site experience was limiting lead generation and conversion. Optimization required structured testing, clearer user journeys, and better alignment between the platform, enterprise resource planning system, and marketing stack. Ongoing platform health was reactive, not managed.
Solution
A continuous optimization and platform management program was implemented across the ecommerce stack. A/B and multivariate testing identified high-performing layouts. User experience and accessibility improvements reduced friction across key conversion paths. Search engine optimization and analytics were aligned with revenue metrics. The enterprise resource planning and headless architecture were maintained and optimized on a retainer model.

Common questions
Questions buyers ask before they sign
On Professional and Enterprise plans, a missed service level agreement triggers a credit against your next invoice. The credit amount is calculated from the time of alert to time of first engineer response. Credits are applied automatically, without requiring you to raise a claim.
Yes. Plan upgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. There is no re-onboarding and no additional setup fee. Your engineer, runbooks, and monitoring configuration carry forward to the new tier.
Both. We support Adobe Commerce Cloud Pro and Starter, Adobe Commerce on-premise, and Magento Open Source on third-party infrastructure. The service level agreement and monitoring coverage is the same across all hosting configurations. Infrastructure-layer incidents on Cloud are coordinated with Adobe support.
Included hours cover monitoring, patching, incident response, quarterly audits, and deployment reviews. New feature development, major version upgrades, and third-party integration builds are scoped and priced separately. You will always receive a written estimate before work outside the plan begins.
Most handovers complete in 10 days. If your outgoing agency provides documentation and access, the process is faster. If there is no documentation, we run the technical audit first and build the runbooks during onboarding. We have transitioned from situations with zero documentation and still reached full monitoring coverage within the 10-day window.
Is this right for you?
Is Redefine the right fit for your store?
We are direct about this. Managed services are not right for every situation.
Good fit
- Adobe Commerce or Magento 2.x on any hosting
- Revenue above $2 million annually, or growing toward it
- Downtime or performance issues have cost you revenue
- No in-house Adobe Commerce engineer on the team
- You want documented service level agreement, not "we'll do our best"
Less likely a fit
- Magento 1.x stores with no migration plan (we recommend upgrading first)
- Stores generating under $500,000 annually where the retainer cost outweighs the benefit
- Teams that want to keep all engineering in-house and just need occasional ad-hoc help
Not sure? Tell us your situation and we will be straight with you about whether managed services make sense for your store right now.
