Replatforming from Magento 2 to Shopify Plus
The brief
Magento 2 was unreliable and preventing NEOM from innovating, and they wanted a summer-ready store in just five months to capture market demand. Shopify Plus was the perfect fit to hit their objectives.
With a number of physical stores, NEOM needed the retail and online experiences enhancing and connecting.
The solution
To address NEOM's needs for scalability and enhanced functionality, we recommended replatforming to Shopify Plus. This transition allowed NEOM to leverage the platform's advanced features and seamless integrations, including their back-office management system and logistics partner. By integrating these technologies, we ensured efficient operations and streamlined management of their online store, supporting NEOM's growth and expansion initiatives.
In addition to backend integrations, we focused on creating a compelling user experience through dynamic design and rich media content. Our goal was to bring NEOM's products to life on the digital storefront, capturing the essence of their brand and enhancing engagement with visitors. We also prioritised showcasing detailed product information and user reviews prominently, emphasising NEOM's commitment to quality and building trust with their customer base. This approach not only enhanced the overall shopping experience but also reinforced NEOM's reputation as a premium brand in their industry.
The result
The successful replatforming included enhanced customer functionality. It contributed to record commercial performance, which has supported NEOM's continued success. Other results include:
180%
increase in eCommerce sales
80%
of total sales now come from online transactions
