For Wafiapps.com, a Magento Upgrade Delivered a Unified Commerce Experience
WafiApps is the fastest growing Multivendor e-commerce platform connecting local brand owners to consumers in the Gulf region. It is the only unified platform offering its customers mind blowing deals on consumer products & services.
To take their business to next level and overcome the technology challenges, Wafiapps planned to move its existing NOP eCommerce website to a multi-vendor website and that would deliver meaningful and engaging shopping experience to consumers as a marketplace for many local sellers to sell their products online.
Aatoon has delivered a fully functional multi-vendor eCommerce website that offers a perfect customer experience across all channels and borders powered by Magento platform. Today, by using the latest technology, they have an ecommerce site that offers efficient and secured services for purchasing a wide range of products.
Stepped into the Future with Magento 2
Over a long time running the business online on the Nop ecommerce platform, they met with some significant issues with its performance and design.
The key challenge of the project was the migration from Nop Commece to Magento. There are 20000+ products were added to the Nop version, and they had the database of customers and orders received. As a Magento development company, our challenge was to conserve the data while migrating from Nop. Another challenge was with regard to enabling multi vendor functionality on an existing omni-channel website.
Time-to-market was essential for Wafi, so they decided to launch a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in 4 weeks time. Given the hard launch date, there was little room for any errors.
