Built by People Who've Run the Operation, Not Just Advised On It

Wabash Systems is built on 20+ years of operating high-traffic e-commerce — sole IT and e-commerce ownership at a $10M-a-year online retailer, managing everything from the network switches in the server room to the storefront customers actually buy from.

We've operated some of the hardest categories you can sell online — LTL freight quotes, pallet deliveries, hundreds of product variants, custom calculators, complex shipping rules. If you can build and run that profitably for two decades, you can sell just about anything.

"Every other option builds you a website. We build you a store — and then we run it."

Along the way our team has led a year-long platform migration from Magento Enterprise to BigCommerce — twice-weekly calls with the vendor, coordinating data migration, testing, SEO preservation, and cutover. Done right, no revenue interrupted. All told we've run that storefront every day for the last 16 years — themes, apps, checkout, B2B pricing, ERP sync, the whole stack. We've managed two ERPs, handled ransomware recovery with zero ransom paid, and kept a multi-server AWS environment running without a dedicated ops team.

On the front end, design and conversion are what we actually enjoy. The right button color. The clearer headline. The layout that gets out of the customer's way. Most technical people tolerate design. We care about it.

Wabash Systems is based in the Wabash Valley and built for the long haul. Our clients are small and mid-size businesses across the United States that want the same caliber of e-commerce engineering that big retailers have had for years.

We work from the Midwest because that's where most of our clients live: businesses that have to make money on their own terms, not chase coastal-agency valuations. The view from here makes the work cleaner — fewer pitch decks, fewer billable abstractions, more focus on the numbers that actually move.

Platform Migration at Scale
Sole technical lead on a year-long Magento Enterprise → BigCommerce migration at a $10M online retailer. Zero revenue loss, full data migration, SEO rankings preserved — part of 16 years running that storefront daily.
Ransomware Recovery
When ransomware hit, we were back online fast using backup systems we'd built and maintained ourselves. Zero ransom paid. This is what backup discipline actually looks like.
Infrastructure to Storefront
Networking, servers, phones, alarms, Linux, Windows Server, AWS, ERP integrations, API development, and storefront design — all of it, under one roof.
SEO & Google Ads Since the Beginning
20+ years of organic SEO and paid search — including what not to do. Built traffic the right way, managed six-figure annual ad budgets, and measured everything.
Design Is the Job, Not an Afterthought
UI/UX and conversion optimization are the part of this work we actually enjoy. The right layout, the right copy, the right CTA — these aren't decoration, they're revenue.

What You Should Expect

No agency layers, no junior handoffs, no vague invoices. Here's what working with us actually looks like.

You Work With Us Directly

No account managers. No junior associates. No work shipped offshore. You deal with the people who've been doing this for 20+ years — every call, every deliverable, every question.

Done When You're Happy

We don't call a project done when we think it's done. We call it done when you say it's done. Clear scope up front means "happy" doesn't become a moving target — it means the work is right.

Security Is Not Optional

We've been on the wrong end of a ransomware attack. We take backups, access controls, and security posture seriously in everything we build. Your store won't be the easy target.

Straight Talk, No Jargon

We've spent 15+ years translating technical problems for non-technical owners. You'll always know what's happening, why it matters, and what it costs — in plain language.

Scope Creep Stops Here

Every engagement starts with a signed agreement that says exactly what's included and what isn't. Changes get a change order. No surprises at invoice time.

Invested in Every Client

When a client's business succeeds, it matters to us the same way it matters to them. That's the standard. The Wabash Valley is where we work from; the work itself is national.

From a 3-Foot Patch Cable to a $10 Million Storefront

Most consultants know one layer. We've worked every layer — from the physical infrastructure a business runs on to the storefront customers buy from. That breadth matters when something breaks, when systems need to talk to each other, or when you need a team that understands the whole picture.
