Pain points of the previous ecommerce solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Lithuanian online pharmacy Eurovaistine.lt<\/a> was built on Oxid, a PHP based ecommerce platform. The platform\u2019s licensing policy wasn\u2019t flexible enough and adapted to Eurovaistine.lt\u2019s growing business needs. Oxid also didn\u2019t provide best practices in terms of security and time-to-market. The pharmacy chain needed a new ecommerce platform<\/a>, a platform that could help increase conversion rate and ensure possibility for expansion to other countries. That\u2019s when Sylius\u2019 solution partner, Baltic Amadeus<\/a>, came to the rescue and successfully migrated the online pharmacy to Sylius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sylius-based prescription for success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of main challenges when it came to choosing a new ecommerce solution was a users\u2019 data migration. Eurovaistine.lt wanted to implement a co-existence period for both the old and the new platform to ensure a smooth transition. Baltic Amadeus chose Sylius as a perfect fit for the online pharmacy, mainly because of its flexible code basis, performance, and security. As Sylius is based on the Symfony framework, it is easier for developers to ensure appropriate security and solution architecture principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n If it comes to combining our clients\u2019 needs and business goals \u2014 Sylius is here to bring the most value to eCommerce demands. The platform is based on the Symfony framework, helping us find highly skilled developers easier. I strongly recommend Sylius to clients with various needs.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
