What Amplience Care services does AmpliFabrik offer?
AmpliFabrik provides Amplience Care - a structured set of post-launch managed services for commerce brands in the US and Canada running on the Amplience platform. Care covers six service tiers that span the full post-launch lifecycle: ongoing platform support, managed retainers for continuous delivery, health checks, performance monitoring, platform remediation, and emergency support. Every Care engagement is staffed with Amplience-certified specialists - the same team that builds Amplience implementations through AmpliFabrik's Delivery practice continues to support those implementations through Care, with no second procurement cycle and no knowledge transfer cliff.
Care is structured around four engagement formats - hourly banks for sporadic platform support, monthly retainers for ongoing programs, fixed-price audits for diagnostic health checks, and on-demand emergency response for production incidents. Whether you need ad-hoc Amplience support, a full managed retainer, or a one-off audit from a specialist Amplience agency, AmpliFabrik's ecommerce managed services, website managed services, and digital managed services for Amplience are scoped against these formats so commerce brands can pick the engagement structure that matches their operational rhythm rather than being forced into a single one-size pricing model. All Care engagements operate in US and Canadian time zones with same-day collaboration during your working hours and 24/7 incident response coverage where the engagement scope requires it.

Amplience Care services provided by AmpliFabrik
Platform Support
Ongoing day-to-day Amplience platform support and maintenance for commerce brands that need specialist help on tap without committing to a full retainer. Platform Support covers content type changes, schema updates, integration adjustments, app extension tweaks, Dynamic Media template changes, and the routine platform work that keeps Amplience aligned with your evolving commerce program. Engaged as an hourly bank with next-business-day response in your time zone.
Managed Retainer
A monthly retainer engagement for commerce brands running an ongoing program of Amplience work - feature delivery, content model evolution, integration extension, platform optimization, and the continuous improvement work that keeps composable commerce paying back its investment. Retainers are scoped with a fixed monthly team capacity and sprint-by-sprint flexibility on what the team works on. The most common Care engagement model and the structure used by AmpliFabrik clients with the deepest ongoing Amplience programs.
Health Checks
A structured Amplience platform audit covering content model health, schema design quality, Dynamic Media configuration, integration boundary review, performance benchmarks, editorial workflow assessment, and security posture review. Health Checks produce a documented findings report with prioritized remediation recommendations. Engaged as a fixed-price diagnostic engagement, recommended quarterly for active platforms or annually as a baseline check.
Performance Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of Amplience platform health, Dynamic Media delivery performance, Core Web Vitals against documented targets, content publish reliability, cache invalidation behavior, and the integration boundaries that determine whether the storefront stays fast under production load. Performance Monitoring includes proactive alerts and a monthly performance review with documented optimization recommendations - the data layer that keeps Amplience implementations measurably healthy.
Platform Remediation
Targeted remediation engagements for Amplience implementations carrying technical debt - poorly designed content models, brittle integrations, accumulated Dynamic Media misconfiguration, slow cache invalidation, or any of the post-implementation issues that compound over time. Remediation typically follows a Health Check or a series of incidents and is structured around a documented remediation plan with phased delivery against agreed acceptance criteria. The 'fix it without rebuilding it' option for Amplience platforms that need rescue rather than re-implementation.
Emergency Support
On-demand emergency response for production incidents on Amplience platforms - storefront outages, content publish failures, Dynamic Media delivery problems, integration breakages, or any issue impacting live commerce. Emergency Support is structured with tiered severity levels and 1 to 4 hour response time SLAs, available either standalone or as a standing add-on to a Managed Retainer. The crisis response cover that keeps a Black Friday weekend recoverable when something breaks at 2am.

Amplience Care engagement structures: which format fits your operational rhythm?
The right Amplience Care engagement structure depends on the predictability of your platform workload, your tolerance for upfront commitment, and the criticality of incident response coverage. AmpliFabrik offers four engagement formats, and most commerce brands combine more than one - typically a Managed Retainer paired with standing Emergency Support cover, supplemented by an annual Health Check.

When an Hourly Bank is the right fit
Your Amplience platform is stable and your post-launch needs are sporadic - occasional content type changes, small enhancements, integration adjustments. An hourly bank gives you specialist Amplience help on tap without paying for capacity you do not need, with hours drawing down only when work happens. The right structure for commerce brands with mature in-house teams who need expert backup rather than ongoing delivery.
When a Monthly Retainer is the right fit
Your Amplience platform is part of a continuous program of work - feature delivery, content model evolution, integration extension, performance optimization. A monthly retainer gives you a fixed team capacity each month with sprint-by-sprint scope flexibility, and supports the long-running programs where hourly engagement creates more friction than it removes. The most common AmpliFabrik Care engagement format and the structure that delivers the most value over time.
When a Fixed-Price Audit is the right fit
You need a diagnostic checkpoint - a Health Check, a content model audit, a performance review, a Dynamic Media configuration review, or a pre-peak-trading platform readiness assessment. A fixed-price audit gives you a documented findings report with prioritized recommendations against a defined scope and timeline, with no ongoing commitment. Most AmpliFabrik Care engagements include at least one annual audit, and many start with one.
AmpliFabrik's recommended approach
Most commerce brands start with a Health Check to establish a platform baseline, then move into a Managed Retainer for ongoing delivery, with standing Emergency Support cover added in for peak-trading periods. This combination produces the broadest coverage at the most predictable monthly cost. AmpliFabrik structures Care engagements so engagement formats can be combined, swapped, or scaled between months without re-procurement or team rotation - and the same Amplience-certified specialists carry through every format.
Frequently Asked Questions
Amplience Care is AmpliFabrik's set of post-launch managed services for commerce brands running on the Amplience platform. Care covers six service tiers: Platform Support, Managed Retainer, Health Checks, Performance Monitoring, Platform Remediation, and Emergency Support. Engagements are structured across four pricing formats - hourly bank, monthly retainer, fixed-price audit, and on-demand emergency. All Care work is delivered by Amplience-certified specialists in US and Canadian time zones.
No. AmpliFabrik regularly takes over Amplience Care for platforms originally implemented by other agencies, by internal teams, or by Amplience's own professional services. Most takeover engagements start with a fixed-price Health Check to establish a platform baseline, after which AmpliFabrik can take over ongoing Care under any of the four engagement formats. Continuity from Delivery is a benefit when it exists, not a requirement.
Pricing depends on engagement format. Hourly Bank is pre-paid hours at a tiered rate. Managed Retainer is a fixed monthly fee scaled to the team capacity engaged. Health Checks are fixed-price for a defined audit scope. Emergency Support is hourly at a premium rate, with optional standing-cover monthly fees. AmpliFabrik publishes a quote after a 30 to 60 minute scoping call - all engagement formats have predictable, documented pricing with no surprise invoices.
Standard Managed Retainer minimum is three months. Most AmpliFabrik Care clients run retainers on rolling 12-month terms with quarterly review checkpoints. Retainer team capacity can be scaled up or down between months with 30 days notice, and engagement format can be changed without re-procurement (a retainer can convert to an hourly bank, for example, if workload reduces).
Emergency Support is on-demand crisis response for production incidents on the Amplience platform - storefront outages, content publish failures, Dynamic Media delivery problems, integration breakages, or any issue impacting live commerce. SLAs are tiered by severity: Severity 1 (production outage) 1 hour response, Severity 2 (major degradation) 2 hours, Severity 3 (minor degradation) 4 hours, Severity 4 (informational) next business day. Available standalone or as a standing add-on to a Managed Retainer.
Most AmpliFabrik Care clients have an internal team that owns business decisions, prioritization, and editorial workflow, with AmpliFabrik providing the specialist Amplience platform expertise. Care engagements are structured to augment your internal team rather than replace it - sprint planning happens jointly, code reviews include both teams, and runbook documentation is delivered to your team to enable internal capability over time.
Yes. AmpliFabrik's Care practice operates in US and Canadian time zones with same-day collaboration in your working hours. Emergency response operates 24/7 with tiered SLAs. There is no offshore handoff overnight - the same team that handles your platform during business hours is the team responsible for after-hours coverage where the engagement scope includes it.
Yes. AmpliFabrik regularly takes over Amplience programs from other vendors, internal teams, or stalled implementations. The handover begins with a current-state audit covering content model, platform configuration, integration code, and outstanding issues. AmpliFabrik then issues a recommendation — resume delivery on the existing implementation, refactor specific areas first, or restart with a clean foundation. The audit is a fixed-price engagement with clear deliverables.
