Magento does what you want. The problem is what it costs to keep it doing that.

Magento 2 is powerful and flexible. It is also the ecosystem where we have most often seen businesses blocked by technical decisions made three years ago that nobody dares to touch.

What we find when we step into Magento projects

  • Upgrade pending for a long time because there is always something more urgent.
  • Customisations that prevent updating core modules without breaking functionality.
  • Hosting and infrastructure consuming a growing share of the tech budget.
  • Tech team in firefighting mode, unable to push new initiatives.
  • Third-party modules in conflict that nobody knows if they can remove.

Situations we recognise

Technical debt in Magento does not appear all at once. It accumulates until it blocks.

Retail eCommerce · +4M€

Upgrade blocked by three years of undocumented customisations

They had been on Magento 2.3 because nobody in the team knew what would happen if they upgraded. There were twelve custom extensions with no documentation and two critical integrations with unknown behaviour. When we stepped in we audited the real state, separated the critical from the dispensable and built a phased upgrade plan the team could execute without business risk.

Multichannel distributor · +10M€

Infrastructure costing 80K a year with performance that did not justify it

The server was expensive and load times at peak hours were still unacceptable. When we reviewed we found the problem was not server capacity: it was unoptimised database queries and three indexation processes running at the wrong moments. We reduced infrastructure cost by 35% and peak load times by 60%.

Online fashion · +2.5M€

Tech team unable to push anything without breaking something

Every production change required two or three days of testing because the environment had too many undocumented dependencies. The tech team lived in fear of deploying. When we stepped in we established a proper environment process, documented critical dependencies and defined a clear criterion for what can be touched and what needs prior review.

First understand what can be touched. Then decide what is worth it.

In Magento the risk of intervening badly is high. That is why we always start by reading the real state before recommending anything.

How we step in

  • AuditReal state of the platform

    We review version, extensions, customisations, integrations and infrastructure. We look for where the technical debt is already blocking the business, not just where it might do so in the future.

  • PriorityWhat is blocking now and what can wait

    Not everything needs to be resolved at once. We separate what is generating cost or risk now from what can wait. That determines the order of intervention.

  • InterventionWith technical and business judgement

    Every technical decision has an opportunity cost for the business. We work with that frame: not just what is technically correct, but what makes sense to move first given what the business needs to advance.

If Magento is slowing you down more than it is helping, it is time to read the situation.

The first session is free and no commitment. In 20 minutes we assess the state of the platform with you and decide whether it makes sense for us to step in.
