Commerce modernisation & platform migration
Replace an ageing commerce platform without stopping the business — through staged migration, frontend modernisation and progressive replacement of the parts that hold you back.
Routes out of a legacy platform
Frontend modernisation
Put a fast, accessible Next.js or React storefront in front of the existing backend. Lowest risk, quickest visible result, and it buys time for the deeper work.
Headless migration
Separate the storefront from the commerce engine behind it, so a new campaign, channel or market can launch without rebuilding the whole platform.
Progressive replacement
Replace the legacy system module by module — search, checkout, accounts, pricing — behind a stable facade, instead of a single high-risk cutover.
Full replatforming
When the old platform cannot carry the business forward: data migration, catalogue restructuring, URL and SEO preservation, and a rehearsed launch.
SaaS to composable
Move to a composable stack when custom logic, pricing models or integration depth have outgrown what the SaaS licence allows.
Operate and evolve
Monitoring, performance work, security patching and a continuous roadmap after launch — we stay with the platform, not just the project.

Migrations are judged on what does not break
Rankings, conversion rate, integration stability and order flow are the things a replatforming can quietly destroy. We plan redirects, structured data, catalogue mapping and performance budgets before any code is written.
We also run old and new in parallel wherever it is feasible, with traffic split by market, brand or customer segment — so problems are found by a small share of users, not all of them.
- SEO preservation
- URL mapping, redirects, structured data, crawl validation.
- Data migration
- Catalogue, customers, orders, accounts and content.
- Parallel running
- Staged rollout by market, brand or segment.
- Performance budgets
- Core Web Vitals treated as release criteria.
- Accessibility
- EU accessibility requirements designed in, not retrofitted.
- Rehearsed cutover
- Dry runs, rollback plan, hypercare after launch.
DLL: modernising and unifying an application landscape rather than rebuilding it
The DLL programme is a good illustration of the modernisation pattern we favour: modernise the existing application, consolidate what is duplicated, and improve the experience — in stages, while the business keeps running.
Common questions
How long does replatforming take?
A frontend modernisation can ship in weeks. A full enterprise replatforming with ERP, WMS and PIM integration is typically a multi-phase programme across several quarters. We would rather deliver value in the first phase than disappear for a year.
Will our search rankings survive?
They should, if the migration is planned for it. URL mapping, redirects, structured data and page performance are part of the project scope from the start, not a task at the end.
Can you work alongside our in-house team?
Yes — that is how most of our long-running engagements work. We supply the specialists the programme is missing and hand over documented, maintainable systems.
