QC Supply: Magento to Shopify Plus Migration with Custom B2B Portal

Background

QC Supply provides products and services to farmers and homesteaders across the United States for over 40 years. Their Magento website was based on an aging platform with numerous problems. After their partner Network Doctors referred them to ECommerce Partners, we set out to modernize their website and set them up for the next 40 years.

Key Challenges

High Maintenance Costs: Ongoing Magento maintenance required significant development hours and substantial costs.
Poor Performance: PageSpeed scores were critically low (33 mobile, 36 desktop), hurting UX and SEO.
No Scalability: No auto-scaling for high-traffic events, unreliable load balancing.
Manual ERP Integration: Product data had to be manually entered. No automation.
Security Vulnerabilities: Unresolved frontend security flaws and outdated PHP/database versions.
No Redundancy: No standby environments or backup systems in place.
