One engagement. Everything your platform needs.
Fowara isn't a menu of services — it's a Fractional CTO retainer that can execute across four capability areas, on documented playbooks, at published prices. You hire the leader; the capabilities come with him.
The Fractional CTO retainer
I join your company as its technology leader on a monthly retainer — typically a fraction of the cost of a $250K+ full-time hire you'd spend six months recruiting. What that includes:
Leadership cadence
Weekly working sessions, architecture ownership, vendor and hiring decisions, and a roadmap tied to revenue — not to a vendor's backlog.
Execution capacity
A dedicated engineering team (development, security review, QA) that ships against the roadmap. You never manage them; that's my job.
Playbook transparency
Every piece of work is a named playbook with a defined output, timeline, and published price. Proposals list exactly which playbooks run and what each costs.
Four capabilities
Commerce Platform & Migration
Getting you onto — and getting the most out of — the right commerce platform. BigCommerce (including Enterprise), Magento exits and Magento 2 modernization (Hyvä, 90+ mobile Lighthouse), Shopify Plus, multi-vendor B2B marketplace builds, and ERP integration with QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP. Migrations preserve catalog, customers, order history, and SEO — measured in weeks.
Proof: 19,508 products migrated for MedSupply Partners in ten weeksProcurement, Punchout & B2B Operations
The capability that wins institutional business. A native, multi-tenant cXML punchout server connects your store to Prendio, Ariba, Coupa, and Jaggaer-class networks — no three-year middleware contract, buyer onboarding in weeks not months, and you keep the customer relationship. Behind the storefront: automated order processing, unified CRM, billing, and reporting on the Fowara operations platform.
Proof: MedSupply eliminated middleware entirely and automated 4–5 hours/day of manual order processingAI Integration & Search Visibility
Two sides of one shift. Outbound: Answer Engine Optimization, so when buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who to purchase from, the answer cites you — structured content, schema, and measurement. Inbound: per-client AI agents trained on your business data, working as 24/7 portal assistants — every AI system we ship has a documented non-AI fallback, so your operation never depends on a model being awake.
Proof: the InterProject BOQ platform — quoting time from days to minutesSecurity & Infrastructure
Azure architecture, a supply-chain-hardened deployment pipeline (SLSA Level 3, Entra ID, no shared CI runners), OWASP hardening, WAF, audit logging on every entity, and disaster recovery that's actually rehearsed. Security isn't a line item here — it's the standard every other capability is built to.

Technology Due Diligence is a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement: codebase quality review, security and vulnerability scan, platform and integration assessment, AI search visibility check. You get specific findings and a prioritized roadmap — useful whether or not you ever hire me again. It's also how most retainer clients started.
