CHALLENGES

SCALING BEYOND LEGACY SYSTEMS

Zanders needed to replace its outdated Magento 1 platform, centralize product data across 40,000+ SKUs, and connect key systems. A Pimcore-based PIM was introduced to unify product information, while improving site performance and the buying experience for dealers nationwide.
 
  • Legacy Magento 1 platform limiting growth
  • Product data spread across multiple departments without a centralized PIM
  • Missing integration between eCommerce, Pimcore PIM, and ERP
  • Slow website performance and load times
  • Need for advanced search and product discovery
  • Scalable infrastructure required for future growth

We delivered a complete digital transformation initiative that combined modern commerce technology, enterprise integrations, product information management, cloud infrastructure, and customer-focused innovations. The result was a connected commerce ecosystem capable of supporting growth, improving operational efficiency, and delivering a superior buying experience.
Commerce Platform Modernization 
Migrated the legacy Magento 1 environment to the latest Magento Open Source platform, creating a scalable, secure, and future-ready foundation for Zanders’ growing B2B business, seamlessly connected with Pimcore for centralized data management.
Centralized Product Data with Pimcore PIM
Implemented Pimcore as a centralized Product Information Management system to consolidate, enrich, and manage product data across departments, establishing a single source of truth for marketing, sales, logistics, and customer-facing channels.
