Biggest problems in the preview platform

Domotio, operating two online stores on Sylius and WooCommerce platforms, opted to consolidate them into a single Sylius platform. Several key factors drove this decision:

• A desire for a complete overhaul of the store’s visual presentation.
• Limited ability to implement custom functionalities on the WooCommerce platform.
• Migrating the blog while maintaining existing URLs and SEO parameters to ensure continuity in the store’s search engine positioning.
• Previous positive experiences with BitBag and satisfaction with the Sylius platform used in another project.

Main challenges

Domotio, looking to enhance its online presence, chose to renew its partnership with BitBag, a well-regarded software agency.

• Generating a PDF file from the order view in the admin panel.

Results

The collaboration with BitBag led to the client receiving a platform that is both scalable and flexible, catering effectively to the dynamic needs of the market. This platform, notable for its modern and user-friendly design, enhances the shopping experience with streamlined navigation and an attractive interface. Additionally, a key upgrade was the bolstering of security measures, which improved compliance with regulatory standards and significantly boosted customer trust.

Another important aspect of this project was the enhancement of the administrative panel. This improvement has made it considerably more straightforward to use, especially for those without a technology background, simplifying the store’s overall management. This ease of use in administration allows quicker updates and adjustments, keeping the store agile and responsive to customer preferences and market trends.
