"The Developers.dev team transformed our eCommerce operations. The site is now incredibly fast, and the custom ERP integration they built is flawless. We're no longer just keeping up; we're setting the pace. Our conversion rate is up 22%, and we've seen a 15% increase in average order value."
Jessica Lee, VP of eCommerce.
A US-based, mid-market fashion brand with $60M in annual revenue was experiencing stagnating online sales. Their PrestaShop store was slow, averaging a 6-second load time, and lacked the customization needed to compete with larger retailers. They struggled with manual inventory updates between their store and their ERP, leading to stock discrepancies and poor customer experience.
The client's growth was being throttled by their technology. A slow, generic PrestaShop site was leading to high bounce rates, while inefficient manual processes were draining resources and causing costly errors.
Page load times exceeded 6 seconds, causing a 50%+ bounce rate.
Manual inventory updates took 20+ hours per week and led to overselling.
The standard theme lacked features for product personalization and upselling.
Their small in-house team lacked the specialized PrestaShop skills to solve these core issues.
Developers.dev was engaged to provide a cross-functional POD, including two senior PrestaShop developers, a QA engineer, and a solution architect.
We identified bottlenecks in the database, theme, and third-party modules.
We developed a robust module to sync products, inventory, and orders with their Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP in real-time.
We refactored the existing theme's code for speed and built a custom "Shop the Look" feature to increase AOV.
We migrated their hosting to a scalable AWS environment with a CDN for faster global content delivery.
Conducted a 2-week discovery and architecture design phase.
Set up a dedicated Jira board and Slack channel for transparent communication.
Operated in 2-week agile sprints with bi-weekly demo calls.
The performance optimization was tackled first, delivering initial results within 4 weeks.
The ERP module was developed in parallel and deployed over 8 weeks.
The entire project was completed in 4 months, on time and on budget.
Achieved by reducing page load time to 1.8 seconds.
The ERP integration automated inventory and order management.
Driven by the new "Shop the Look" upselling feature.
Real-time sync eliminated overselling and improved customer satisfaction.
By partnering with Developers.dev, the client transformed their PrestaShop store from a liability into a high-performing asset. The project delivered a significant return on investment through increased sales, improved efficiency, and a superior customer experience.
