Case Study · Regulated Retail & WholesaleOne of our clients runs a real, regulated retail and wholesale brand — not a demo. Before JDB, their storefront was a handful of static marketing pages, and the actual business (leads, accounts, orders, shipments) ran through a rented third-party tool that never talked to the site. Here’s what we built instead.
Age-restricted, regulated product categories aren’t a normal e-commerce build. This one needed a hard age gate before anyone sees the storefront, payment routing that actually works for a category most standard processors won’t touch, and two genuinely different buyers — retail customers who pay upfront, and wholesale accounts who need to be verified before they can check out at all.
The harder problem was never the storefront — it was that the entire operation ran somewhere else. We moved it in.
Migrated off a rented third-party CRM and verified live in their own admin back office — not a mockup, their real operating history.
The storefront, the wholesale pipeline, and the back office are all live today, on infrastructure JDB built and they own. No rented software with someone else’s markup sitting in the middle.
