get to Know Winerack

Winerack was conceptualized in 2007 by two guys disgruntled by the over-inflation of wine prices in the Hong Kong market. Fast forward to 2013, Winerack’s vision to offer low-cost, high-quality wines had become a success. Now based in Singapore, Winerack operates exclusively online, avoiding traditional stores to maintain affordability. 

The focus on customer satisfaction extends beyond bottles; Winerack continually enhances its online interface, ensuring a seamless shopping experience. At Winerack, the commitment is clear: delivering exceptional wines without unnecessary markup. 

Challenges

In the dynamic of online commerce, Winerack recognized the necessity to refresh its website for an enhanced shopping experience for customers. But like any big change, it wasn’t all sunshine and roses. Here are some challenges Winerack encountered: 

Outdated Magento 1 Infrastructure

The aging Magento 1 platform, once the backbone of its digital presence, had become outdated and lacked the crucial support it once enjoyed. As Magento discontinued support for Magento 1, Winerack faced security risks, fewer features, and missed opportunities for innovation. Faced with this reality, Winerack embarked on a transformative journey toward Magento 2, a more advanced and future-proof solution.

Data Fragmentation and Slow Site Speed

Moving Winerack's extensive product information, images, and intricate attributes to a new platform (Magento 2) proved trickier than anticipated. The initial data migration resulted in scattered information, causing slower page loading speeds and potentially frustrating their customers.

Winerack Finds The Perfect Blend With BSS Commerce

In response to these pressing challenges, Winerack sought an adept e-commerce solution provider capable of facilitating a smooth transition from Magento 1 to Magento 2. Their objective extended beyond migration; they sought expertise in enhancing page speed and refining the website interface through the implementation of the Hyva theme.

Their search led them to BSS Commerce, with a proven track record in Hyva implementations and platform migrations for renowned brands like Optical88, Case24, Cafe Du Cyliste, and more. The collaboration between Winerack and BSS Commerce has yielded remarkable results, exceeding initial expectations. 

Setting Sail For Digital Transformation

Winerack’s digital transformation kicked off on June 15th, 2023, with BSS Commerce’s dedicated team. This expert group, led by a skilled Project Manager, meticulously navigated the Magento 2 migration, ensuring flawless data integrity and a blazing-fast website. Driven by a shared passion, they tackled challenges head-on and revamped Winerack’s digital foundation for lightning-fast performance.

The initiation phase commenced with a comprehensive audit of both the existing Magento 1 and prospective Magento 2 sites. Every detail, challenge, and opportunity underwent meticulous examination, laying a robust foundation for an enhanced user experience and optimal performance.
