The challenge

The business ran on an old custom PHP platform that handled the store and back office operations together. Moving to Shopify Plus meant rebuilding those operations, not only the storefront.

What we did

  • Migrated the store from the legacy PHP platform to Shopify Plus
  • Built a custom ERP app connected to Shopify
  • Built a custom service ticket app
  • Built a custom bin location app for warehouse stock

Results

Store and operations running on Shopify Plus, with the custom back office functions rebuilt as Shopify apps.
