Project at a glance

Client: Dahlsens
Business: Leading building materials supplier to home builders, with over 25 stores in Victoria and New South Wales and a subsidiary serving Queensland and the Northern Territory
Project: Magento Enterprise to Magento Community downgrade
Timing: 2014 to 2015, over several months

390%ROI over 3 years

2 hrsdowntime

Dahlsens had built its online store on Magento Enterprise several years earlier.

The challenge

An analysis of the system showed that the Enterprise edition was underused.

Dahlsens had cancelled its plans to sell online to the general public, so it no longer needed the extensive functionality of Magento Enterprise, or its licence cost.

The solution

After extensive consultation with Dahlsens' marketing and IT teams, Magenable developed a plan to downgrade to Magento Community while keeping all the functionality the business needed.

Replacing Enterprise features

CMS page management, an Enterprise feature, was replaced with a third-party extension.

A well-planned migration

Careful planning kept downtime to about 2 hours.

The result

Magenable completed the downgrade successfully, and Dahlsens kept all the functionality it needed in its changed business conditions.

The project returned over 390% on investment in 3 years, calculated as the Enterprise licence savings against the cost of the migration.

What our clients are saying about us

Fabrice Boucherat

Marketing and Merchandise Manager,
Dahlsens Building Centres

We have worked with several web development agencies in the past. Every time we felt that we were low priority for them and there was no proactive input into our projects. We’ve been pleasantly surprised by Magenable’s approach. We get prompt service. Projects go smoothly.

Most importantly, as experts in the web space, they advise us on the latest tech trends and are not afraid to challenge our thinking. They’ve also been great at keeping us close to our web analytics and what it means for our digital strategy. I look forward to having many more years of mutually beneficial collaboration with Magenable.

We couldn’t be happier with Magenable’s level of service. Alex always feels like an extension of the Bondi Sands team and is always available to help support our business objectives – both from a strategy and execution perspective. No project is ever too big or too small!

Highly recommend Magenable to any business looking for Magento specialists to help scale their eCommerce business.

Kovi Gordon

CEO,
Queen of Tickets

My company recently employed services of Magenable to conduct a full website audit on our site. We could not have made a better investment. Alex first worked with us over a few days to get a thorough understanding of our business and our landscape, which is very often overlooked. The report we received at the end was very comprehensive and really data driven.

Important that the findings were not trivial improvements but were all based on increasing sales or improving security. I strongly recommend this to any business that relies on their website for sales and feel that they are not doing everything to their best of their ability. Alex and his team will surely find many improvements that will pay dividends over and over again once implemented.

Stu McIntosh

Founder and CEO,

Alex and his team has been by far the best dev team we have worked with. They are quick, courteous and fully transparent. I couldn't recommend their services any higher.

Thanks for your amazing service!

Emil Jowett

eCommerce Manager, Access Hardware

After evaluating several potential ecommerce solutions and development partners we found the combination of Adobe Commerce and Magenable the best choice for our business requirements. Magenable has worked with us through several challenges to create an ecommerce system that fulfills our unique needs providing not only the software solution but expert advice along the way.

Their team has always been readily available when needed and very capable and quick at resolving issues when they have arisen. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Magenable as we continue to grow our online presence into the future.
