Underwood Ammo
Underwood Ammo manufactures high-performance hunting and self-defense ammunition for military, law enforcement, and civilian clients. All products are made in the USA in Sparta, IL, and the company offers discount programs for military and law enforcement personnel.
The Challenge
Their aging Magento platform was costly, complex, and required specialized developer resources. This technical debt hindered agility, limited feature innovation, and diverted resources from core business objectives.
