Client Background
For over 15 years, our client has been a hallmark of quality and style in the world of jewelry. Known for its unparalleled craftsmanship and a dazzling array of jewelry – from the radiance of gemstone rings to the allure of diamond necklaces, they have won admiration and loyalty from a global clientele.
While the client’s inventory on WooCommerce was manageable, they foresaw a tenfold expansion in their product range. The existing WooCommerce platform, despite its capabilities, was not perceived as being scalable enough for such ambitious growth. To uphold and elevate their industry standard, a seamless transition to a more robust platform was imperative.
Challenges
- Anticipated Data Volume: Preparing for future migration of a 200,000-item inventory, ensuring future-proofing for customer and order data.
- Custom Functionality: Design bespoke solutions that would replicate the WooCommerce platform’s unique features in Magento 2.
- Theme and Design: Given Magento 2’s architecture, we needed a fresh, user-centric design that’s both responsive and intuitive.
- Extensions and Plugins: Integrate where necessary some custom-built functionalities to bridge any feature gaps.
- Third-party Integrations: Ensure a seamless connection with all client’s third-party services, from payment gateways to CRMs.
