Sector
Retail & Automotive
Consumer-facing retail and automotive platforms compete on speed, reliability and the experience around them. We have engineered the authentication, profile and release-management layers that let those platforms move at consumer pace.
Sector context
Retail and automotive technology, particularly direct-to-consumer digital retailers, operates at the intersection of high-volume consumer expectation and conventional enterprise scale. Authentication and profile services are the front door; reliability and release cadence are the moat. Cipherer's principal consultant delivered the authentication and profile platform for Cinch, the UK digital car retailer, during a period of rapid product expansion.
Track record
- Cinch (via Accenture / InfinityWorks)
Profile and authentication services platform during a period of rapid product expansion, improving reliability, scalability and developer productivity. Secure, high-performance applications using React, Auth0 and RESTful services. PCI-DSS and SOC 2 compliance alignment; release management modernised with GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines.
How we approach this sector
Identity as a platform, not a feature
Authentication and profile services are designed as long-lived platform capabilities, with their own engineering team posture, observability and reliability targets.
Release engineering at consumer pace
Modernised CI/CD and release management to support rapid iteration without sacrificing the audit trail that PCI-DSS and SOC 2 require.
