Enhancing and Maintaining Direct Repair's Magento Marketplace
problem
Our client Direct Repair, based in Belgium with a primary audience in Belgium and the Netherlands, operates a significant marketplace offering a wide range of home supplies through Magento 1. Despite its extensive product catalog and the implementation of localization for four foreign languages, the platform faced challenges due to its reliance on an outdated Magento version. Moreover, with Magento 1 no longer officially supported, maintaining the platform s functionality became increasingly challenging, necessitating ongoing support and updates.
