Case study
Elevating 'White Fox Boutique's' eCommerce.
White Fox Boutique, a fashion industry titan, aimed to optimise their online platform and operational efficiency. Collaborating with our web agency, they ventured into refining their digital infrastructure, enhancing user experience and streamlining processes.
01 The challenge
Technical Stability and Scalability
White Fox Boutique sought a more technically stable platform to support their growing sales. While they used site traffic queuing systems to prevent site crashes during major campaigns, this impacted the overall customer experience.
White Fox aimed to find a platform that balanced cost-effectiveness with an enhanced user experience, especially during high traffic periods, without sacrificing one for the other.
Operational Costs and Customer Experience
With years of customer data, sales records and other critical eCommerce information stored on their Magento platform, the task of migrating from Magento 2 Commerce to Shopify Plus was daunting. The huge amount of data that had been collected over the years was putting a lot of strain on their current platform, which made the migration process difficult and complicated.
Challenges in Platform Migration
MindArc improved how White Fox Boutique talks to people. They made sure that even if there are technical problems, the business can still work without any interruption. They did this by setting up a backup internet connection and using phones through the internet. By doing so, White Fox Boutique can work from anywhere and stay connected, making sure everything runs smoothly.
Upgraded Communications and Operational Infrastructure
To maximise operational efficiency and ensure seamless sales processes, MindArc proposed integrating Shopify Plus with PeopleVox. This integration was aimed at creating a cohesive system where sales, inventory and customer information could work in harmony.
MindArc addressed the pressing issue of managing White Fox Boutique's extensive data by adopting Shopify Plus. This decision not only involved storing data but also improving its quality through cleaning and enhancement. The shift to Shopify Plus resulted in a more efficient and organised data infrastructure, enhancing scalability and reducing overhead costs in contrast to their previous Magento setup.
