Challenges
- Partially developed features and functionalities leading to system errors.
- Absence of comprehensive documentation from the previous vendor.
- Incomplete migration from Kentico (ASP.NET) to Adobe Commerce Cloud.
- Performance bottlenecks hindering store scalability and efficiency.
- Unfinished and inconsistent design that misaligned with client expectations.
- Ambiguity in requirements for custom functionalities and workflows.
Solution
To address the challenges of this rescue project, team Krish used a structured and agile approach to successfully migrate from Kentico (ASP.NET) to Adobe Commerce Cloud. After conducting a project audit, we redefined the scope, prioritized key features, and created a detailed roadmap.
Our team resolved bugs, completed partial features, and ensured seamless data migration while maintaining integrity. We also integrated payment gateways, CRM, and ERP systems to create a fully connected platform. The design phase involved finalizing elements for a responsive, user-friendly interface aligned with the client's branding. Extensive functional, integration, performance testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) ensured the platform's readiness. The project was successfully launched with minimal downtime and post-launch support, exceeding client expectations.
The Strategy
We migrated John Bead from their old Dot.net platform to Adobe Commerce Cloud, leveraging its advanced capabilities to create a stable, scalable, and feature-rich e-commerce solution. To enhance search functionality, our experts integrated Adobe Commerce ElasticSearch, delivering faster and more relevant search results. We also implemented GDPR and PIPEDA compliance, ensuring robust data privacy and security measures to meet regulatory standards.
The Microsoft Navison ERP system was connected through the Malibu Connector, streamlining backend operations and enabling seamless inventory and order management. Email marketing was upgraded using Constant Contact, allowing John Bead to craft personalized campaigns and strengthen customer relationships.
