Problem
BakeryBits, a long-standing objectsource client had been operating on Magento Open Source for nearly a decade. The platform was reaching its scalability limits and holding them back, particularly in the B2B sector. While a basic B2B solution had been implemented on Magento Open Source to understand its potential, the business knew it needed to scale and in order to do this, the focus needed to be on the B2B market. They required a solution that would simplify their tech stack, reduce costs and provide the advanced B2B functionalities necessary for further expansion.
Solution
A strategic migration to Adobe Commerce Cloud was undertaken. The process began with a comprehensive ROI assessment including a detailed evaluation of current hosting costs and third-party module expenses. Following an in-depth demo from Adobe, BakeryBits decided it would be more cost effective for them to move to Adobe Commerce Cloud.
The Adobe Commerce Cloud server was provisioned at the end of June and the migration commenced in early July. A thorough planning phase ensured a smooth cutover with minimal downtime. The project involved identifying and optimising modules, streamlining the tech stack and ensuring a seamless migration.
The project was completed in just six weeks with a maximum downtime of less than two hours during the live cutover. Post-launch, objectsource provided ‘intensive care support’ to address any immediate issues and ensure business continuity.
Results
- BakeryBits’ migration to Adobe Commerce Cloud achieved a much more simplified tech stack.
- Consolidating BakeryBits’ hosting, performance and security services with Adobe removed the need for multiple third-party suppliers.
- BakeryBits gained access to the advanced B2B functionalities of Adobe Commerce Cloud, enabling them to expand their operations in this area significantly.
- The migration was completed with minimal downtime, ensuring business continuity.
- BakeryBits benefits from ongoing support from Adobe Commerce and continues to work with objectsource on a range of growth strategies.
“In just six weeks, we moved BakeryBits to Adobe Commerce Cloud, effectively enabling them to grow their business in any direction they want. They’ve now got the tools, especially with the B2B module, to pursue their ambitious growth goals.”
