As a PE-backed consolidator, the organization is executing a strategic consolidation plan. With 16 websites live and more on the way, they needed a scalable foundation to support fast, repeatable onboarding. But their fragmented infrastructure—spread across four CMS platforms—was slowing growth, creating silos, and putting expansion at risk. ![A construction worker and a chef each using a laptop](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ey850001/production/043d1415994540fd3c2b4e6157fdff97278f3945-1061x392.jpg?w=960&auto=format) ## Solution Appnovation partnered with the organization to design and implement a scalable digital platform to support rapid growth. We partnered with Builder.io to unify their ecosystem and replace four legacy CMSs. AI played a critical role throughout the program—accelerating decisions, automating manual processes, and surfacing insights across workstreams. The program, powered in part by AI-driven efficiencies, was delivered through four key workstreams: * Architecture & Shared Services: Unified design system, governance, and marketing infrastructure, enhanced by AI-based auditing to ensure design consistency and content reuse at scale. * Commerce Enablement: Scalable pricing, subscriptions, invoicing, and payments with AI informing optimal pricing structures and surfacing customer behavior trends. * Migration Factory: Repeatable, automated onboarding for faster site launches, leveraging AI to auto-map and tag content across disparate CMS sources, reducing manual lift and launch time. * Managed Services & CI/CD: Ongoing support and DevOps for platform stability augmented by AI-powered monitoring and predictive issue resolution for higher uptime. ![Cloud, security and checklist icons overlaid on a laptop](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ey850001/production/e99c80c2798979184c5cc880b8fb8fb15deb0da7-1061x392.jpg?w=960&auto=format) ## Impact Appnovation brought the organization’s transformation back on track, successfully migrating initial sites and laying the groundwork for scalable growth. The engagement enabled faster onboarding, improved alignment, and greater operational efficiency. By unlocking AI across key steps of the process—from architecture to migration—Appnovation accelerated speed to market and optimized delivery at scale. With a modern platform in place, the organization is now ready to scale and deliver a consistent commerce experience across its portfolio. At Appnovation, we empower organizations to scale rapidly and efficiently, just like we did for this PE-backed online education provider. Our collaboration unified their fragmented infrastructure and streamlined operations using cutting-edge tools like Builder.io and AI-driven workflows. The result? Faster decision-making, consistent onboarding, and a modern platform ready for growth. ## More work [See all our work](/work.md) [![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ey850001/production/391248ecb6c067f847af3dbbc4dd29c26c0ed18b-800x600.png?w=640&auto=format)](/work/accelerating-pfizer-s-ai-initiatives-with-forward-deployed-engineering-squads.md) ### [Accelerating Pfizer's AI Initiatives with Forward Deployed Engineering Squads](/work/accelerating-pfizer-s-ai-initiatives-with-forward-deployed-engineering-squads.md) Building Pfizer's AI Engineering Capability at Global Scale AI Health & Life Sciences [![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ey850001/production/bc1c71e02bbff70aabce93456124587600a8d447-2400x1800.png?w=640&auto=format)](/work/leading-trucking-workforce-platform-launching-ai-powered-search-experience.md) ### [Leading Trucking Workforce Platform - Launching an AI-Powered Search Experience](/work/leading-trucking-workforce-platform-launching-ai-powered-search-experience.md) Leading Trucking Workforce Platform - Launching an AI-Powered Search Experience AI Government & Non-profits [![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/ey850001/production/1055bf49ef95426084cad4a951c00e7c38e4a9ff-2400x1800.jpg?w=640&auto=format)](/work/virginia-tech-building-future-agricultural-intelligence.md) ### [From Vision to Platform: Transforming Agricultural Data into an Interactive Decision Intelligence Experience](/work/virginia-tech-building-future-agricultural-intelligence.md) From Vision to Platform: Transforming Agricultural Data into an Interactive Decision Intelligence Experience AI Government & Non-profits ## Ready to build something similar?
