Review catalogue, customers, orders, content, URLs, extensions and workflows.
02
Destination
What must work?
Prepare product structures, customer access, order handling and integrations.
03
Rehearsal
What needs checking?
Run practical transfers, reconcile records and test key customer and operational journeys.
04
Release decision
Who gives the go-ahead?
Agree final sync, launch checks, decision owners and a feasible recovery approach.
01
Account for the information.
Start with the existing platform to understand what needs to move, how it is structured and where changes are required.
Products
Review catalogue structure, product data, variants, attributes, media and related content. Confirm what should move and what should be restructured.
Customers & orders
Assess customer records, order history, addresses, status handling and any workflows needed for live trading.
Historical records
Identify how older records should be treated when they are not required for day-to-day trading.
Access, quality & compatibility
Confirm source access, review quality and volume, and check how the source information aligns with the destination.
02
Recreate the work, not just the pages.
The destination must support the customer journeys and internal work that matter. We map changes to integrations, product structures, customer access and order handling before testing the move.
Agree the checks, final sync and decision owners before the move.
01
What has been reconciled?
Have sample or full transfers been checked and differences resolved?
02
Which journeys have been reviewed?
Have key shopping and operational flows been tested?
03
How will the final sync work?
Is the final synchronization approach defined?
04
Who owns the release decision?
Are the decision owners and go-ahead criteria clear?
New orders and other writes change the recovery options.
URL mapping, redirects, internal links, indexability and monitoring form a dedicated workstream. Search performance can fluctuate.
Questions before you begin
Practical questions, straight answers.
Can you guarantee uninterrupted trading?
Downtime requirements inform the approach, but the available cutover options depend on the systems and data involved. Commitments are defined after those constraints are reviewed.
Can all historical data move?
That depends on source access, destination support and business requirements. We identify gaps and alternatives before agreeing the transfer scope.
