Meeting the Client’s Need - The Client Faced Several Challenges

The client encountered friction in region-specific payment and tax calculations within checkout workflows, affecting transaction speed, accuracy, and operational confidence. Additional gaps in promotions logic, data synchronization, and checkout stability created customer dissatisfaction and internal inefficiencies.

Key challenges included:

  • Oracle ATG pricing couldn’t support dynamic, region-specific tax calculations.
  • Check out friction during high-volume payment flows
  • Rigid promotions logic limiting marketing impact
  • Delayed product data sync affecting order visibility

Our Project Challenges

  1. Region-Specific Operations – Complex tax jurisdiction rules and payment variations needed to be handled accurately within Oracle ATG pricing workflows without disrupting checkout performance.
  2. Promotions Flexibility – Marketing teams needed data-driven qualifiers beyond native platform capabilities.
  3. Data Synchronization – External system integration required accurate, real-time updates without delays.
