GGR Group needed to move away from their magento 1 website as soon as possible, to avoid the complications that come with a framework reaching its end of life. You can find more information on this here.

The natural choice was to develop their new website on Magento 2. Migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 ensures a smooth transition of data onto the new website and gives a robust, secure and reliable solution that has all the functionality that they were used to in M1, plus much more.

Not only did GGR want to move over all of their products, orders and customers, but they also wanted a redesign to give the website a fresh, modern look.

GGR required the new website to integrate with a number of third-party systems that were in place on their existing website.

FedEx – To automate their delivery operations and handle their complex domestic and international shipping pricing.

SAP – To handle their inventory management and to ensure accuracy in stock levels across multiple sales channels.

WorldPay and PayPal – Reliable and convenient payment gateways to process all online payments securely.

Wufoo – To manage multiple enquiry forms requiring different information.

Trustpilot – GGR’s Trustpilot was pulled through onto the website to showcase their amazing reputation and reviews and give customer confidence.

The result of the migration was a fresh and modern Magento 2 eCommerce website that set the standard for the rest of the industry.

We always ensure our websites function to the best of their ability on all devices, and this site was no exception, with new mobile experience that was easy to navigate, find products and make a purchase.

For content management we developed our own set of extensions that tie into our custom theme to allow full control over the static content and make it really quick and easy for GGR’s team in Oldham to change all banners, images, featured products, text and links that appear on the front-end of the website themselves.
