SparkFun Electronics is a U.S.-based electronics manufacturer and retailer founded in 2003 to make hardware development more accessible. Headquartered in Colorado, SparkFun designs, manufactures, and distributes open-source electronics, components, and kits used by engineers, educators, students, and makers worldwide. The company is known for its strong documentation, educational focus, and commitment to open-source hardware principles.
SparkFun approached us initially with a list of tasks to perform within their Adobe Commerce Cloud ecommerce platform. This included version upgrades, assistance optimizing the local environment setup, ADA development remediation within their theme along with other items.
Bighorn quickly went to work against the list of ADA tasks, collaborating within their existing ADA provider’s workflow and project management tool. Additionally Bighorn has been providing the Adobe Commerce development support and leadership SparkFun team was previously lacking, empowering SparkFun to optimize the efficiency of their in-house team while tackling their roadmap of priorities.
SparkFun’s business is fundamentally complex: a large catalog, technically sophisticated customers, high expectations around documentation, and a mix of educational, hobbyist, and professional buyers. Their Adobe Commerce platform needs to support that complexity without slowing the team down or introducing operational risk.
Finding a strong, experienced Adobe Commerce partner gave SparkFun something they were missing: clear technical leadership and a steady hand on the platform. Instead of reacting to issues or patching problems as they surfaced, SparkFun gained a partner who understands the platform deeply enough to anticipate constraints, guide architectural decisions, and keep the system stable as priorities evolve.
That expertise allows SparkFun’s internal team to stay focused on what they do best — product development, education, and community — while knowing the commerce foundation is being actively maintained, optimized, and future-proofed. The result is a platform that supports SparkFun’s scale and mission, rather than becoming a bottleneck as the business grows.
