You might look at Atlassian Confluence and some of the third-party plugins that are available for it. For example, you could take the base Confluence Wiki product, add their Jira product for customer service support tracking, add the Community Bubbles plugin for forums and to allow your visitors to share their favorite portions of your site/other sites, use the workflow plugin to integrate with an e-commerce application, etc.
Alternatively, you could consider mixing any number of open-source systems such as MediaWiki, phpBB, Mantis, osCommerce, etc. to custom build.
