Magento 1 to BigCommerce Migration with Customized Catalog and Membership Features

Magento 1 to BigCommerce Migration with Customized Catalog and Membership Features

Client was in contract with developer, but, no progress had been made in 3 months
High-end furnishings site whose inventory is sold via interior designers
Ground up build (not migrating from another platform)
Anyone should be able to browse the catalog. However, purchasers had to be verified as credentialed interior designers for full access
Magento Commerce (Enterprise Edition) license had already been obtained

Initial goal was to launch a proof-of-concept site and prove out the business model
No customizations had been written
Catalog items were uploaded, but data was poorly organized and unusable
With 50,000 items in their catalog, the client faced multiple challenges
- Lack of expertise to organize and load the high volume data
- Initial developer (pre-Razoyo) lacked data design capabilities
- Mainly off-shore development team made communication difficult
Custom development of subscription system was required and had not been specified

Razoyo’s 100% on-shore development team accelerated progress.
Razoyo consulting services architected and implemented custom subscription system leveraging Magento core features to keep costs low.
Razoyo’s designer created the look-and-feel and design standards which were approved in less than a month.
Razoyo and client worked together to organize and upload catalog data.

Site launched in 3 months
Client proved out concept, added subscribers and received investor backing
Client management team is now in 6th year of relationship with Razoyo, having added many additional new features and products to site
