Platform change as a
growth opportunity.
With Vanilla Reply, you can seamlessly transition from your current platform to Shopware or Shopify. We’ll keep your business running smoothly and ensure that your new store is a clear improvement right from the start.
The starting situation
A platform change is a business decision, not an IT decision.
The reasons for a platform change are rarely purely technical: growth stagnates, development costs rise faster than revenue, the provider announces the end of support. At the latest, it is no longer about software, but about how your business should operate in the coming years.
Vanilla Reply has carried out dozens of migrations and knows the risks, shortcuts, and the points where it is better not to make compromises. Therefore, we do not migrate blindly, but use the platform change as an opportunity: for a more modern architecture, clean data, better processes, and a platform that grows with your business.
Our migration approach
In six steps to the new platform
Every migration begins with an honest assessment: Which features are actually used? Which integrations are business-critical? Where is the technical debt? Based on this, we define the target architecture, the migration path, and the timeline.
Inventory Analysis
Map the existing shop architecture, integration landscape, and actually used features. Not everything built on the old platform needs to be taken over 1:1.
Target Architecture
Define a new system landscape, taking into account current and future requirements. Often, migration is the right moment to introduce PIM, DAM, or an iPaaS middleware.
Migration Path
Big Bang or incremental? The answer depends on the business model, the complexity of integrations, and the risk appetite.
Data migration
Transfer product data, customer base, and order history cleanly. With Akeneo as PIM and Alumio as iPaaS, we have the tools for complex data migration scenarios.
SEO Preservation
Redirect mapping, URL structures, meta data. A platform change should not cost any organic rankings.
Go-Live & Hypercare
Controlled go-live with intensive support in the first weeks. Monitoring, quick response to issues, optimization during ongoing operations.
