Enhanced SEO capabilities

Frontend and structural optimizations support better visibility in search engines.

Scalability and improved performance

The platform is designed to handle growing traffic and product range, ensuring fast load times and smooth user experience.

Lower TCO and faster time-to-market

Streamlined architecture reduces maintenance costs while enabling quicker deployment of new features.

Stable, future-ready foundation

As part of the integration and customization work, we addressed over 130 existing modules from both instances, adapting them to operate on the new platform. This ensured the solution is stable, flexible, and ready for future development.

Simplified architecture & reduced maintenance costs

We simplified the entire technology environment, significantly reducing maintenance costs while maintaining full compatibility with ERP, PIM, and BaseLinker systems.

Single, high-performance eCommerce platform

By combining two previous instances and migrating, our team delivered a single, high-performance, and easy to maintain eCommerce platform.

The project

In this case study

Introduction

‍

The client was running two independently built eCommerce platforms, a setup that steadily drove up maintenance costs, duplicated features, and limited future development. The goal was a full migration to Magento Open Source: consolidating both instances into one unified, high-performance store on our ISKRA platform. We delivered the entire migration in roughly 14 weeks, preserving every key store function and keeping daily operations running without interruption.

Project goals & challenges
‍

Full migration to Magento Open Source
Consolidation of two stores based in separate instances into one shared system, including data transfer, different configurations, and business rules
Ensuring continuity of integrations and business processes with zero downtime and uninterrupted store availability
Preparing the platform for future growth and development
Auditing, adapting, and consolidating over 130 third-party and custom modules from two different environments

Integration with ERP, PIM, and BaseLinker systems, including API adjustments to the new architecture
Implementation of a modern frontend based on Hyvä (see the demo: getsparq.store) alongside the classic Luma theme

‍

Technology stack
‍

Magento 2 Open Source - eCommerce platform for building and developing online stores
PHP 8.3, MariaDB 11.4 - application logic layer and relational database management system
Elasticsearch, Redis, Varnish- full-text search, caching, and performance optimization
Hyvä (based on getsparq.store) + Luma - a modern, high-performance frontend (Hyvä) with simultaneous support and compatibility for the classic Luma-based theme

‍

Accessibility & UX
‍

Built on our ISKRA solution on top of Hyvä, shop.tytan.com pairs a modern, fast interface with real accessibility. From day one the priority was WCAG compliance and everyday usability, proper contrast, support for a broad range of users including those with special needs, and a fully responsive experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

‍

Performance & manageability
‍

The Hyvä frontend delivers fast page loads and smooth operation that directly support user satisfaction and sales. Behind the scenes, the client's team can edit content, expand sections, and adjust layouts without developer involvement. Clear categories, product listings, and filters keep navigation intuitive and products easy to find.
