  • Seamlessly migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 with full data preservation

  • Improve site performance, navigation, and user experience

  • Simplify the order process and highlight cost-saving opportunities

  • Build a scalable foundation for future international growth and automation

The solution

We led a full Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration while redesigning and modernizing the entire OilOnline platform. Key areas of focus:

  • Data migration (products, categories, customers, orders, content) with zero loss

  • Fresh UX/UI redesign focused on search speed and easy checkout

  • Advanced filtering and catalog structuring for 5,500+ lubricants

  • Bulk pricing visibility and VAT-free delivery integration

  • Streamlined portal for easy access to orders, invoices, and reordering

  • Automation of backend workflows to support logistics and customer management

By balancing technical precision with user-centered design, we empowered OilOnline to deliver an even faster, more transparent, and efficient customer experience.
