Ecommerce builds on Shopify and headless, custom software for how the business actually runs, and Amazon done properly. One senior team across all of it.
Nockta builds ecommerce stores, custom software, and Amazon marketplace operations for Hamilton businesses. Shopify and Shopify Plus builds, headless and Next.js storefronts, SaaS platforms and internal tools, plus listings, A+ content, and advertising for manufacturers and distributors selling direct.
Shopify, Shopify Plus, headless and Next.js storefronts built for large catalogs, trade pricing, and buyers comparing you on a phone.
Internal tools, admin dashboards, and automation for the parts of the operation that never fit into the storefront.
Store setup, listings, catalog cleanup, A+ content, and brand store for manufacturers selling direct.
Google and Meta ads, SEO, and the tracking that shows which product lines actually pay back.
Hamilton's manufacturers and distributors spent decades selling through reps, catalogs, and phone orders. The ones growing now are the ones that also sell online, direct to trade buyers and direct to consumers, and that means real ecommerce rather than a brochure site with a contact form.
That shift breaks things. A storefront built for twenty consumer products does not hold a catalog of four thousand SKUs with trade pricing. A theme that loads in six seconds loses the buyer comparing you on a phone. And the moment the same catalog has to live on Amazon too, the manual work doubles unless the listings and content are built once and managed properly.
The work here is ecommerce done at the right scale: Shopify and Shopify Plus builds, headless and Next.js storefronts when the catalog justifies it, product pages and checkouts built to convert rather than to look busy. Alongside it, the custom software side covers what the storefront cannot: internal tools, admin dashboards, and automation for the parts of the operation still living in spreadsheets.
Amazon is the third piece, and it is a real channel for Hamilton manufacturers, not an afterthought: store setup, listings, catalog cleanup, A+ content, and the advertising to go with it.
On Amazon the listing is the product page, the search result, and the sales pitch at once. Title, images, and A+ content do most of the work, and A+ content is free for brand-registered sellers. Here is what to fix first and in what order.
Read the guide →Shopify Plus licensing starts at CA$3,400 per month in Canada, and a proper Plus build typically lands between CAD $30,000 and $150,000 depending on integrations. Here is the honest math, what actually moves the number, and when Plus is the wrong answer.
Read the guide →In Canada a focused internal tool typically costs CAD $15,000 to $40,000, a customer-facing web application $40,000 to $120,000, and a SaaS product you can charge for $100,000 to $250,000 before the first paying customer. Integrations, user roles and undecided requirements move the number; the count of screens does not.

What we would build, in what order, what it costs, and what we would not build yet.
Working software you can click, every week, until it is doing the job. Then we keep it running.
Yes. Large catalogs, variant logic, and trade versus retail pricing are normal ecommerce work for us, on Shopify Plus or a headless build depending on how complex the product logic gets.
Yes, and that is the point of running both together. The same team handles the store and the Amazon channel, so listings, images, and A+ content are built once rather than rebuilt per channel.
Takeovers are normal work. We audit the theme and apps, move the code and repositories into your ownership, fix the speed problems, and move the parts your team should control into a place they can safely edit.
Regularly. Custom web applications, internal tools, admin dashboards, mobile apps, and automation are the other half of what we do, usually for the operations work that a storefront was never going to cover.
