Pain

Frequent downtime and scalability issues resulting in lost sales, as well as expensive development cycles and high maintenance costs affecting overall finances.

Solution

The solution included migrating to a new Magento platform, developing features to streamline trunk show scheduling, audience RSVP, and B2B2C incentives programs, ensuring seamless support for the customer’s unique direct sales model.

Challenge

Our customer, a jewelry and accessories company, spanning North America, Europe, and the UK, faced a pressing challenge: an outdated tech setup comprising Magento EE 2.1 and Drupal. As their business expanded, the technology remained stagnant, unable to keep pace with the surging demands.

In essence, the challenge was multi-faceted:

  • Financial strain. Financial strains arose as maintenance costs soared, hindering profitability.
  • Stagnant growth. The existing system lacked the agility to evolve in sync with the customer's global expansion.
  • Frequent downtime. Frequent system outages resulted in reduced sales and customer loyalty.
  • Inefficient development cycles. Resource-intensive development efforts were diverting focus from core business strategies.

Moreover, the customer's unique direct sales model, executed through home-based entrepreneurs, required a tech understanding uncommon in traditional E-commerce. Drawing on our experience in overcoming similar obstacles, along with our strong technical expertise and in-depth understanding of the industry, Emerline was well-prepared to provide a practical solution.
