challenges

Well, let’s just say we were dealing with everything that happened over the last 13 years. It was like

  • 13 Years of Legacy Data (80k SKUs, 850k Orders, 123k Customer)
  • 3 Additional Sales Channels – Amazon, eBay & Reverb
  • 2 Warehouse – Brooklyn NY & Winchester VA
  • Custom features built by more than 4 Magento teams
  • Legacy ERP integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP which was slowing down the web-site
  • Single Magento instance handling all sales channels (Web, Amazon, eBay & Reverb) resulting in slow performance
  • Scattered customer service over calls, emails, chat
  • BIGGEST OF THEM ALL – NO DOWN-TIME ALLOWED!!!

Solution

The process of migration started with a review of the existing Magento 1 shop and its features. Over its 13 years of operation, the system had accumulated several modules that were no longer used, and others which were ripe for replacement. Working with multiple stake-holders both internally as well as externally at the client-end, we developed a road-map that included:

  • Clustered Server Architecture removing dependencies between Sales Channel
    • Web Application Servers
    • Database Servers
    • File Servers
    • Load Balancers
    • Caching Servers
    • Enterprise Search Servers
    • Staging/Development Servers
  • In-house & on-premise ETL models for both scheduled as well as on-demand data migration from old servers to new servers
  • CloudFlare Web Access Fire (WAF) along with advance features like
    • Content Delivery Network (CDN)
    • Rate Limiting
    • Page & API Shield
    • DDoS Attack Prevention
    • Page Caching
  • Advance Fraud Detection & Prevention with Signifyd as well as BrainTree Fraud Management tools
  • Multiple Payment Methods for customers to choose from
    • Credit Card
    • PayPal
    • Apple Pay
    • Amazon Pay
    • Google Pay
    • Affirm
    • Sezzle
    • Zip
    • Bread Pay
  • Akeneo as centralized Product Information Management (PIM) System
  • Unified Customer Service using ZenDesk
  • ERP Integration in partner shipment with CalsZone (Microsoft Dynamics GP Partner) that focused on performance and scalability
