Migration
Replatforming is the highest-risk project in ecommerce. Done carefully it removes a ceiling. Done carelessly it costs a year of organic traffic, a quarter of revenue and a lot of trust.
Search visibility, because URLs changed without complete redirect mapping and metadata was regenerated rather than migrated. Data, because variants, historic orders or customer records did not map cleanly and nobody verified counts against source. Integrations, because the ERP and courier connections were rebuilt last and tested least. And operations, because the warehouse and support teams were told about the new admin two days before go-live.
We plan against those four specifically. Every migration starts with a URL inventory and a data mapping document, and no cutover happens without verified counts, a tested rollback and a trained operations team.
We also ask whether you should migrate at all. Sometimes the platform is not the constraint, and a replatform is an expensive way to avoid fixing merchandising.
Common migrations
Each with its own known failure modes, which is precisely why experience matters here.

Moving when hosting, plugin conflicts or peak stability become the ceiling.

Decoupling the front end where speed or experience justifies the added complexity.

Expanding one storefront into several country or brand instances on shared foundations.

Merging several inherited stores into one estate with common data and reporting.
How we run it
The cutover itself should be the least eventful part.
Confirm the platform genuinely is the constraint. If merchandising, content or operations is the real problem, migrating changes the admin screen and nothing else.
URLs, products, attributes, customers, orders, integrations, custom logic and manual workarounds. Undocumented behaviour discovered at cutover is what causes emergencies.
New platform built and integrated while the old store keeps trading. No pressure to cut over before it is genuinely ready.
Data migrated in rehearsed runs with counts and spot checks against source. Redirects generated and tested against the full crawl inventory.
A full dry run including DNS timing, freeze windows, verification checklist and rollback. The team practises before it performs.
Go live, then monitor rankings, crawl errors, conversion, payment success and order flow daily for the first weeks, with fixes prioritised immediately.

Globosoft works as a growth partner, not a monthly line item. We agree a baseline, build and market your ecommerce, and take an agreed share of the incremental sales that follow. If your revenue does not move, our fee does not either.
No open-ended monthly fee for the growth engagement. The commercial deal is tied to sales, not to calendar months.
An agreed percentage of the incremental revenue we generate, measured against a baseline we both sign off before work starts.
Everyone in the room is paid by the same number: the revenue and contribution margin your store produces.
Questions
The questions that come up most often in the first conversation.
There is always some short-term volatility as search engines reprocess the site. What separates a two-week dip from a two-quarter loss is redirect completeness, metadata migration, internal link preservation and page speed. We treat organic traffic as a balance-sheet asset during migration and monitor it daily after cutover.
Typically eight to sixteen weeks for a mid-size store, driven mainly by catalogue complexity, integration count and how much custom logic exists in the old platform. Multi-store estates and heavy B2B rules take longer. We would rather extend the parallel-running period than compress verification.
Yes, and you should. Support, returns, loyalty and repeat-purchase journeys all depend on it. Passwords generally cannot transfer, so we plan a reset flow that does not feel like a security incident to your customers.
That is what the rehearsed rollback is for. DNS timing, freeze windows and a documented reversal path are agreed in advance, and we do not cut over without a tested way back. In practice, most cutover problems are integration or redirect issues found in the first hours, which is why monitoring is intensive from minute one.
