PHILADELPHIA: As Black Friday approaches, eCommerce businesses face unprecedented online traffic and significant downtime risks. Industry research estimates that downtime could cost retailers $675 million this year. Inoxoft, a global leader in custom software development, is offering its Software Technical Audit to help businesses prevent costly disruptions.

Downtime during peak shopping periods can cost medium and large eCommerce sites approximately $540,000 per hour, or $9,000 per minute according to the latest research. With over 1,000 eCommerce websites potentially experiencing just one hour of downtime, direct revenue losses could total $540 million. Secondary costs, including SLA penalties and customer churn, add another 25%, bringing the total impact to $675 million.

“Black Friday 2024 saw U.S. eCommerce sales reach $10.8 billion, but hidden behind this milestone is the growing risk of downtime,” said Nazar Kvartalnyi, COO at Inoxoft. “With online traffic expected to rise by over 31% this year, retailers must prepare their systems to handle peak demand. Our Software Technical Audit identifies vulnerabilities and optimizes performance to prevent outages.”

• J.Crew (2018): Lost $775,000 in five hours of downtime.
