About Our Client
Our client is a Swiss company established in 1994, specializing in the automotive industry. Their product range includes light bulbs, windscreen wipers, and other automotive accessories, designed to meet the diverse needs of their customers.
Our client had been running on Magento 1 for years. They relied on the platform to manage their store, process orders, and serve customers efficiently. However, with Magento 1 reaching its end-of-life, they needed to upgrade to Magento 2 to stay competitive and ensure long-term stability.
Our Client’s Requirements
The client wanted a complete migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 while keeping all essential store data intact. Their key requirements included:
- Full data migration, including products, customers, orders, and other store information.
- Preserving SEO settings to maintain rankings and traffic.
- Ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime to avoid disruptions to their business.
The Challenges
One challenge in this project was a delay caused by our client’s technical issues when setting up Magento 2 on their new server. It tool some time for them to resolve the problems before we can initiate the full migration.
Our Solution
To address the challenge, our LitExtension experts worked closely with the client to help resolve their platform’s technical issues as quickly as possible. Once their Magento 2 store was successfully set up, we moved forward with our All-in-One Migration Service. This ensured that all products, customers, and orders were migrated accurately and efficiently, allowing us to meet the project’s deadlines despite the initial delay.
