We specialise in creating robust back-end solutions to support multiple industries, including retail and e-commerce. We partnered with Global Luggage to enhance their online platform by transitioning from a bespoke CMS to a Magento deployment. We aim to deliver a robust, flexible e-commerce system to streamline operations between two London-based high street shows, its central warehouse and operations centre in North London.
Smooth transition
We began with detailed planning to ensure a smooth transition from the existing CMS to Magento. Our team analysed Global Luggage’s requirements, mapping out a structure to preserve their unique features while leveraging Magento’s capabilities. This foundation ensured that the new platform would handle high traffic, product variety, and future expansion.
Next, we collaborated with Global Luggage’s supply chain and marketing teams to design a practical front-end experience. We gathered insights on branding, customer expectations, and product presentation, which helped us create an appealing, user-friendly interface. This collaboration ensured the design resonated with customers and maintained brand consistency across high-street shops and online platforms.
HTML5-compliant front-end
Our team then developed the front-end design into HTML5-compliant theme files. This approach ensured that the new Magento site would be responsive (which will adjust based on the screen size and technology, i.e., iPads), fast, and compatible across devices. By adhering to HTML5 standards, we optimised the site for SEO and performance, enhancing the user experience.
E-commerce excellence
With the front end in place, we implemented Magento as the new CMS platform. This step allowed us to harness Magento’s advanced e-commerce features, from product management to order processing. The result was a powerful API-based that meets Global Luggage’s unique needs and provides a solid foundation for growth.
Data migration was a critical part of the transition. We securely transferred all product data, customer records, and order histories to Magento. By preserving data integrity, we provided Global Luggage a smooth transition, avoiding disruptions and maintaining customer satisfaction.
Connecting POS systems
Finally, we integrated Magento with Global Luggage’s POS systems and bespoke warehouse stock management solution. This connection allowed real-time inventory updates and accurate stock tracking across channels. By connecting these systems, we streamlined order fulfilment and improved inventory management.
Through this collaboration, we transformed Global Luggage’s online platform, delivering a scalable, efficient e-commerce solution that supports their growing business. Our commitment to detail and expertise in back-end development made this transition seamless, setting Global Luggage up for continued success.
