!The Challenge
Founded in the UK in 2007, Amrita Nutrition has developed into a leading provider of high-quality, premium nutritional supplements to medical practitioners worldwide. The team operating out of Amsterdam continued to run into technical barriers with their ecommerce shop. Originally built as a native Shopify store in a time when Shopify didn't offer minimum required features out of the box like multilingual and contextual search, a legacy collection of .NET custom code, 3rd party Shopify apps and a tech partner in another country/time zone resulted in a successful webshop that stood absolutely still in terms of design, improvement and strategic alignment. With an ambitious strategic outlook and great market opportunities, the need was adamant: the site needs to change, now!
The Solution
With a solid strategic design ready and waiting to be built, Zinzo got off on a great start using these designs as a starting point. With the clear objective to develop a new ecommerce platform that's future-proof and not depending on 3rd party suppliers, we concluded and advised to rebuild the site into a headless commerce solution with a Python-built core and connect it to the Shopify Plus backend. Completed in approximately 5 months, the Zinzo development team deployed the full redesign on top of the existing Shopify Plus backend – all config/integrations remained unchanged. The result included a complete redesign towards a cleaner, more modern look-and-feel, improved PIM product integrations, and improved search replacing Algolia Search with an open source alternative.
"The complete redesign was delivered on top of our existing Shopify Plus backend – all configurations and integrations remained unchanged, much to the joy of our finance and logistics departments."
