Developing a Multi-Client Platform Based on Magento Commerce

Initial Situation & Objectives

myAGRAR is a successful online shop and is characterised by the innovative spirit of a start-up. The company does not postpone changes but implements them quickly. This is how myAGRAR recognised that the existing e-commerce system would soon reach its limits, initiating a migration project in response. The objective was to conduct a system selection process to find a suitable new system that would also fit in with the goals of the corporate network and to implement it as a multi-client platform.

Project Scope & Implementation

Joint requirements elicitation workshops are important for selecting the right system. myAGRAR opted for Adobe. To be more precise: Adobe Commerce. After months of meticulously planning and scoping the project, developing a unique system architecture and keeping Microsoft Azure as the cloud service provider, the final migration sprint took place during the Christmas season and before the start of the season in February 2021.

Success & Added Value

Within a short period of time, an exceptional e-commerce project went live. This resulted in numerous added values for myAGRAR:

The modern multi-client system based on Adobe Commerce offers growth potential for the entire corporate network
Unique system architecture and innovative cloud hosting enable flexible scalability
Extensive features were developed and connected, including an innovative product search and a payment service provider
All system landscape components were integrated via interfaces
The project was facilitated by dotSource digital marketing experts and the UX team, which positively influenced rankings and user experience

What Our Clients Say

We are delighted with the performance of the new system and would like to thank dotSource for the tremendous commitment, especially during the Christmas holidays. Not only was the cooperation straightforward and efficient, but the people are also very pleasant on a personal level. With the new e-commerce solution based on Magento Commerce, we are ideally prepared for all future challenges.
