Migration of Online Auctioning Platform
USA
- 6+ months
Client and Business Goals
One of the largest US retailers and wholesalers of premium cigars, fine domestic and imported pipe tobacco, and massive inventory of related products like humidors, boxes, lighters, and beyond.
With an outdated system code at the core of the client’s major eCommerce platform, they weren’t satisfied with scalability, interoperability, and performance characteristics. To revamp user experience, engage new audiences, and bolster market promotion, the client was looking to move the solution to new technology rails.
The potential vendor was to rebuild the codebase while migrating the existing functionality and UI to develop an upgraded responsive web app swiftly interacting with Salesforce Commerce Cloud parameters. The decisive factor for bringing the Symfa team in the loop as a tech partner was our massive expertise in app migration, legacy app modernization and maintenance.
Challenge
The measures taken by the team helped boost performance, with database response, sorting results, and computing operations running with no longer than 3 seconds delay in 95% of cases.
Solution
The solution’s major competitive edge is the auctioning functionality. To win premium cigars and accessories at discounted prices, customers are allowed to choose desired products and bid on them. Easily navigable, the process is facilitated by text instructions and notifications on auctioning results.
