Belgium

Project Summary

Interactivated Ecommerce migrated the client's closed-source webshop to Magento and delivered custom Magento development including a live price feed and user price/exchange alerts. The vendor implemented a performant theme and provided ongoing updates and support. As a result, the client reports a high-performing webshop, strong customer reviews, and a leadership position in the Belgian market.

Key Challenges

Move off a closed-source webshop to a flexible platform (Magento) to reduce the time, energy, and cost of making changes.
Previous development approach made every change costly and time-consuming, prompting the migration.

Project Deliverables

Magento-based webshop
Live price feed integration (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) updating every second
Exchange rate / price alert system for users
Custom performant theme

Project Solution

The vendor migrated the client’s closed-source webshop to Magento and performed extensive custom development on the Magento platform. They integrated a live price feed for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium that updates every second and implemented exchange rate/price alerts so users receive warnings when prices hit preset levels. They produced a performant theme, handled project scoping with the client (CEO), provided project management (initially a Ukrainian PM, then a Dutch-speaking PM), and used Jira to track issues while continuing to make updates after initial delivery.

Project Outcome

Became market leader in Belgium.
High-performing webshop with positive customer reviews.
Client reports a turnover of $600 million and positive business impact.
Responsive vendor support with quick onboarding of new team members.
