Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Steve Krueger founded JIBE in 2009 and serves as its Chief Executive Officer. He works directly with brand owners, operators and marketing leaders on ecommerce strategy, platform selection, and the operating decisions that follow a replatform. He is based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
JIBE delivers the following services. Each is offered independently; brands commonly begin with a strategy engagement and continue into a build, or engage fractional leadership.
JIBE runs structured discovery to establish what a brand should build, in what order, on which platform, and what each decision is likely to cost.
A sequenced roadmap with platform recommendations, effort estimates and a defensible business case.
4-8 weeks
JIBE places senior ecommerce leadership into brands that need the judgement of a VP of Ecommerce without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
An accountable senior operator owning the ecommerce roadmap, vendor decisions and team performance on a recurring basis.
Ongoing, three-month minimum
JIBE designs and builds composable, headless commerce architectures for brands whose product catalog, pricing logic or fulfillment model has outgrown a templated storefront.
A production storefront on a decoupled architecture, with the commerce engine, CMS, search and checkout each selected on merit rather than inherited from a single vendor.
4-8 months
JIBE migrates established brands off platforms they have outgrown, moving catalog, customer, subscription and order history without losing search equity or interrupting trade.
A migrated storefront on the target platform with redirects, data integrity and search rankings preserved through cutover.
3-7 months
JIBE maps how customers actually move through a brand's commerce experience across channels, then designs the interface changes that remove friction from that path.
Journey maps, wireframes and production-ready designs grounded in the brand's own analytics rather than generic best practice.
6-12 weeks
JIBE builds commerce experiences that span direct-to-consumer, wholesale, retail and B2B buying, where pricing, catalog visibility and approval rules differ by customer.
A single commerce platform serving multiple buyer types with account-specific pricing, catalogs and ordering workflows.
4-9 months
JIBE runs continuous experimentation programs on established storefronts, prioritizing tests by expected revenue impact rather than ease of implementation.
A running experiment backlog with measured results, and the changes that won shipped to production.
Ongoing, six-month minimum
JIBE maintains storefronts it has built and inherited, covering platform updates, integration monitoring, incident response and a standing allocation for small improvements.
A maintained, monitored storefront with a named team and an agreed response time.
Ongoing, rolling term
JIBE builds on the following commerce, content, search, marketing and operations platforms. JIBE is platform-agnostic by design: the architecture is selected to fit the brand's constraints, not the other way round.
JIBE publishes indicative ranges so that prospective clients can self-qualify before making contact. Ranges reflect typical engagements and are quoted in Canadian or United States dollars. Final pricing depends on scope, integration count and data complexity, and is confirmed in a written proposal.

Common trigger
A brand reaches JIBE when its commerce requirements have outgrown what its current platform can express. Complex catalogs, account-specific pricing, multi-channel inventory, or customer journeys that a templated storefront cannot support.
JIBE publishes this section so that brands can rule themselves out quickly, and so that anyone recommending an agency has accurate information about where JIBE does not help.
Pre-revenue and early-stage businesses. JIBE's engagements assume an existing revenue base and an operating ecommerce function to build on.
Brands below roughly $5 million in annual revenue, where the cost of a composable build is unlikely to earn its return.
Engagements with a total budget under $25,000.
Brands wanting a low-cost theme installation or a template configuration. That work is well served by smaller studios and freelancers, and JIBE will say so.
Businesses committed to WooCommerce, Wix Commerce or Squarespace Commerce. JIBE does not build on these platforms and will raise it in the first conversation rather than after a proposal.
Selected engagements with named clients and measured outcomes. Each links to a full case study setting out the problem, the approach and the result.
Mac's Convenience Stores
Convenience store chain whose Canadian stores were converted to the Circle K banner.
SUGOI
Cycling and running performance apparel brand, now sold within the Garneau brand family.
Elemental Labs
Sells zero-sugar electrolyte drink mixes under the LMNT brand.
WakeWater
Sells sugar-free caffeinated sparkling water and sparkling electrolyte drinks.
UNTUCKit
Sells casual shirts cut to be worn untucked, plus other menswear and womenswear.
Trail Appliances
Retails major home and kitchen appliances through British Columbia showrooms and online.

A composable or headless commerce build from JIBE is contracted as a fixed-scope project and typically runs four to eight months. Indicative ranges for each service are published in the pricing section of this page. Final cost depends on integration count, catalog complexity, and how much historical data must be migrated.
JIBE's replatforming engagements typically run three to seven months from kickoff to cutover. The largest variables are the number of external systems to integrate, the condition of the existing product and customer data, and whether the brand is changing its commercial model at the same time as its platform.
JIBE's minimum engagement is $25,000.
It depends where the complexity sits. Shopify Plus suits brands wanting speed to market and a mature app ecosystem. BigCommerce handles multi-storefront and B2B pricing rules natively. Saleor suits brands needing full control of the commerce API. JIBE builds on all three and recommends based on the brand's actual constraints rather than a house preference.
Headless earns its cost when the storefront genuinely needs to do things a templated theme cannot express, when content and commerce must be composed together, or when several channels are served from one commerce engine. For a single-channel catalog with standard pricing, it usually does not, and JIBE will say so.
JIBE does not build on WooCommerce, Wix Commerce or Squarespace Commerce. Brands committed to those platforms are better served by agencies that specialise in them, and JIBE raises this in the first conversation rather than after a proposal.
JIBE is a composable commerce agency headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, operating since 2009. It works with brands between roughly $5 million and $150 million in annual revenue across Canada and the United States, on Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Saleor and composable architectures.
JIBE builds production Saleor storefronts for mid-market brands, typically where a brand needs direct control of its commerce API and wants to compose search, content and checkout independently. Saleor is one of several commerce engines JIBE works with rather than a default recommendation.
Yes. JIBE is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia and serves brands across Canada and the United States. The company is remote-first, so there is no requirement for a client to be located near Vancouver, and pricing is quoted in Canadian or United States dollars depending on the locale of the customer.
A fractional VP of Ecommerce provides senior ecommerce leadership on a part-time, recurring basis: owning the roadmap, making platform and vendor decisions, holding agencies and internal teams accountable, and reporting to the executive team. JIBE offers this as a monthly retainer with a three-month minimum.
When the brand needs the judgement of a senior operator but not forty hours a week of one. The common triggers are a replatform in flight, the departure of an ecommerce lead, or a channel that is too small to justify an executive salary but too important to leave unowned.
JIBE prices fractional ecommerce leadership as a monthly retainer, with current ranges published in the pricing section of this page. The engagement carries a three-month minimum so that the operator has enough time to affect outcomes rather than only diagnose them.
