Client

Freshpair

New York City, United States of America

Project Summary

Montrose Software migrated Freshpair’s custom e-commerce platform to Shopify, cloning the legacy site and storing historical data on an internal server. They set up an ecomdash connection to import required legacy fields and duplicated the client’s AWS server so the old backend and order histories remain accessible. The client praised the team’s responsiveness, accuracy, and project management; the migration improved site performance and preserved critical historical data.

Key Challenges

Migrate from a custom website to Shopify
Retain and access legacy backend data and historical order histories

Project Deliverables

Ecomdash connection
Legacy data import
Duplicated AWS server to clone legacy site
Internal server copy of legacy backend and order histories

Project Solution

They set up an ecomdash connection to import each required field from the legacy system, duplicated the client’s AWS server to clone the legacy site, and downloaded the legacy backend onto the client’s internal server so historical order histories are accessible. The engagement was staffed primarily by a senior software developer (regular technical contact) with the founder handling invoicing and high-level issues. Montrose continues to provide occasional AWS support and can log in to check the account on request.

Project Outcome

Migration preserved pre-2016 order histories, enabling the resolution of a Shopify fraud alert
Improved site performance and prevented the legacy platform from failing
Responsive and accurate project management with quick fixes and ongoing AWS support
