What Kadro Solutions Inc does

Kadro Solutions, Inc. is a private, employee-owned eCommerce consultancy founded in 2001 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. The firm delivers end-to-end eCommerce services — strategy and consulting, platform implementation, replatform migration, project rescue, creative design, custom OMS/PIM development, systems integration, and managed hosting/support — across Adobe Commerce (Magento), Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, and Magento Open Source, with certified partner status in each. Its core technical differentiator is a 100% U.S.-based engineering and consulting team (no offshore outsourcing), deep ERP/OMS/PIM integration expertise (Microsoft Dynamics GP, IBM AS/400, Oracle, SAP Business One, Epicor), and a proprietary Kadro Merchant J2EE platform developed for enterprise clients with specialized requirements.

The company serves a heterogeneous mix of B2B and B2C clients ranging from SMBs to Fortune 500 enterprises across at least 14 verticals — including jewelry retail (REEDS Jewelers, client since 2001), automotive/motorcycle parts (Big Bike Parts), marine accessories (Boat Outfitters, SeaDek), pet supplies (Country Brook Design, Boss PetEdge), healthcare (WebMD + StayWell, Connect Hearing, WestCMR), and hospitality (Biltmore Winery). Notable technical solutions include a Next Day Delivery architecture handling 2 billion rows of Redis-cached data for Doheny's, real-time database integrations between Magento and back-office ERPs, and the MyGarage part finder deployed across multiple brands.

Kadro generates revenue primarily through custom-quoted professional services engagements (strategy, development, migration, rescue) with multi-year contract cadences, supplemented by managed hosting partnerships (Nexcess/LiquidWeb, JetRails, RackSpace, Webscale) and ongoing support/managed services. Sales are direct and consultative, with on-site Requirements Discovery sessions for enterprise prospects and inside sales for mid-market leads; marketing relies on content/insights, LinkedIn/X/Facebook presence, and case-study-driven demand generation. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and operates as an employee-owned entity with 11-50 employees.
