Absolutely — for an ecommerce build that also needs strong analytics and CRM integrations, you’ll want a digital experience agency with a mix of ecommerce platform expertise, data/measurement capability, and systems integration experience.
Strong agency options to consider
1. Media.Monks
- Good fit for large-scale digital commerce and experience builds
- Strong in creative + engineering + data
- Often works well when you need complex integrations across CRM, analytics, and personalization tools
2. Dept
- Known for digital experience and commerce projects
- Solid across strategy, UX, build, and ongoing optimization
- Good choice if you want ecommerce plus experimentation and analytics maturity
3. EPAM Continuum / EPAM
- Strong engineering and integration capabilities
- Good for enterprise commerce builds with CRM, data warehouse, and analytics connections
- Useful if the project is technically complex
4. AKQA
- Excellent for premium digital experience work
- Strong design and product thinking
- Better when brand experience matters a lot alongside commerce
5. Valtech
- Very strong in commerce, CX, and systems integration
- Good experience connecting ecommerce platforms with CRM, CDP, analytics, and marketing automation
- Often a good enterprise option
6. Bounteous
- Strong in martech, analytics, and integration-heavy builds
- Good if CRM and data flows are a major part of the project
- Commonly works with platforms like Salesforce, Adobe, and GA4/BigQuery stacks
7. Propeller
- More boutique, but strong in ecommerce strategy and build
- Useful for mid-market brands that want hands-on attention
- Check their integration depth depending on your stack
8. Sana Commerce / Wpromote / Taktical / Born Group
- Depending on the exact scope, these can be strong if you need:
- ecommerce performance marketing
- CRM/email automation
- analytics-driven optimization
- Best for specific commerce + growth use cases rather than full end-to-end enterprise transformation
What to look for in the right agency
For your needs, I’d prioritize agencies that can show:
- Ecommerce platform experience: Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, commercetools, BigCommerce, etc.
- Analytics implementation: GA4, Tag Manager, server-side tracking, event design, dashboards
- CRM integrations: Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, Klaviyo, Braze, Marketo, etc.
- Data architecture: CDP, warehouse, identity resolution, customer journey tracking
- Testing/optimization: A/B testing, personalization, conversion rate optimization
- API/integration work: order events, customer profiles, abandoned cart, lifecycle automation
If you want a tighter shortlist by type of project
- Enterprise / highly integrated: Valtech, EPAM, Media.Monks, Bounteous
- Brand-led premium experience: AKQA, Dept, Media.Monks
- Mid-market ecommerce with strong execution: Dept, Bounteous, Propeller
- Heavy martech + analytics: Bounteous, Valtech, EPAM
A good way to vet them
Ask each agency:
- What ecommerce platforms have you built on most often?
- How do you structure analytics requirements before build starts?
- What CRM platforms have you integrated with commerce?
- Do you support server-side tracking / enhanced tracking for privacy changes?
- Can you show examples of order/customer event data flowing into CRM or CDP?
- Who owns implementation after launch?
If you want, I can also give you:
- a shortlist of 5 agencies based on your budget
- agencies by region
- or a comparison matrix for Shopify vs Salesforce vs Adobe Commerce projects.
