About The Client
Our client is a reputable electronics retailer based in Germany that offers a wide range of consumer electronics products, including smartphones, laptops, cameras, and accessories. They have a significant online presence and a large customer base.
Challenge
The client’s existing webstore operated on Shopware 5, which was becoming outdated and lacked the advanced features and performance capabilities of Shopware 6. The challenge was to migrate their webstore from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6, ensuring a seamless transition without losing any data or functionality. Additionally, the client wanted to enhance the user experience and improve the design of their webstore.
Solution
Methodology
To ensure a smooth migration process, we followed an Agile methodology, allowing us to adapt to any changes and incorporate feedback from the client throughout the development process. Regular communication and collaboration were maintained to ensure the project’s success.
Project stages
1
Research and planning
Our team conducted a thorough analysis of the client’s existing webstore, identified the necessary data to be migrated, and defined a comprehensive plan for the migration process. We also collaborated with the client to understand their design preferences and discussed any custom features they desired.
3
Module Migration and Adaptation
We assessed the existing modules used in the Shopware 5 webstore and identified the equivalent or alternative modules available for Shopware 6. We migrated and adapted the necessary modules to ensure their seamless integration with the new platform. Modules that were not available for Shopware 6, were adapted by us to be compatible with Shopware 6, some solutions were developed by us from scratch.
5
Custom Feature Development
As per the client’s requirements, we developed a custom feature that allowed customers to compare multiple products side by side, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions. This feature involved integrating product data and providing a user-friendly interface for seamless comparison.
2
Data Migration
We carefully migrated all essential data, including product information, customer details, and order history, from Shopware 5 to Shopware 6. This involved mapping and transforming the data to ensure compatibility with the new platform.
4
Custom Theme and Design
Working closely with the client’s design team, we created a custom theme for the webstore that aligned with their brand identity and provided an enhanced user experience. This involved designing the layout, implementing responsive design, and ensuring compatibility with different devices and screen sizes.
6
Testing and QA
We conducted rigorous testing, including functional and usability testing, to ensure that the migrated webstore was fully functional and bug-free. We thoroughly tested the custom feature to ensure its accuracy and smooth functionality.
7
Deployment and Support
Once the testing phase was completed successfully, we deployed the migrated webstore on the production server. We provided ongoing support to address any post-deployment issues, ensuring a seamless transition for the client and their customers.
