Projects
B2B US Electrical Manufacturer
The client was a big midwest US-based manufacturer of power units, electrical systems for home and office environments. They did not have a solid eCommerce platform and a lot of conversions happened during in-person sale meetings. Once COVID-19 struck the world, it became hardly possible to work that way. They urgently needed a viable eCommerce platform that would begin digitalization inside of the company.
My team delivered their partner portal powered by Adobe Commerce Cloud just in 6 weeks. This included ERP and custom product configurator integrations, importing all B2B and catalog information and other stuff required by a fully functional store.
Also, I took part in concept creations for the further features (package management capabilities for planned orders, integration with support system, B2B shipping, etc) and B2C branch of their business.- Experience: Problem Framing, Requirement Gathering, Direct work with the client's team, Concept Creating, Adobe Commerce Cloud, Magento B2B, Building Magento 2 Store from scratch, Team Leading
B2C US Kitchen Furniture Manufacturer and Retailer
The client was a number one US online retailer of kitchen cabinets, sinks and other stuff needed for kitchen design with its own manufacturing facilities on the east coast. They got to the Inc. 500 twice.
I was working on this project when it was on Magento1. The major thing that we did was a migration to Magento2. It was the early days of Magento 2 and the migration was not a trivial process at all. It took us more than a year to migrate the website.Migration included a few thousands of hours the team spent on designing and implementing all custom functionalities including a way to run frequent sales, a workflow for kitchen design team to interact with clients, custom gallery for inspiration and import of 1 million products.
After successful migration, we had worked a few more years on website support. During that phase, we implemented a workflow for contractors to work with the store in B2B like manner, loyalty program, integrations with payment methods, etc.
Huge catalog prompted us to research ways to improve indexing and search systems. Besides that, we were working on improving website performance by leveraging ReactJS-based micro-frontend approach.- Experience: Magento2 Migration, Adobe Commerce, Store Maintenance, Product Owning, Performance Audits, SEO Audits, Concept Creation, Work With Client's Team, Ongoing Improvement Sells, Magento Consulting, Magento Upgrades, Adobe Commerce Cloud, Nexcess Hosting
Austrian B2C Bedroom Furniture Seller
The client was a small Austrian-based bedroom furniture company with up to 10 showrooms in Austria and Germany. They sold beds, wardrobes, dressers that were made from 5 types of aromatic wood, and breathable organic mattresses.
They were on Magento 1 and they asked us for migration to Magento2 Open Source. On Magento1, they had a lot of custom functionality. We spent more than a year redesigning and implementing it on Magento2. Since a major part of their sales came from showrooms, we paid extra attention oncreating an omnichannel-like experience for their customers. We developed a workflow for their showroom stuff to let them guide and create quotes together with customers which came to the store. Also, the client's team was interested in making changes to most parts of the website frequently, so we provided them a way to manage blocks of information on category and product pages in an admin-friendly way.
After migration, we worked on the ongoing support and improvements to the store. We helped them integrate a new line of fast-to-deliver products with an ability to manage orders that could contain regular and this kind of products. We also made sure that they were using cost-efficient hosting plans while getting optimal user experience by performing load tests.- Experience: Magento2 Migration, Concepts Creation, Team Leading, Performance Audits, SEO Improvements, Ongoing Improvement Sells, Magento Consulting, Magento Upgrades, Load Testing

After working on the project for a few months, we were invited to the nearest office of the company for the final tests.
