Magento 2, end-of-life June 2026. Contract pricing, colour swatches and years of messy catalogue data, all welded to a platform about to be switched off.
A bespoke catalogue database and custom ETL pipeline: 27 legacy attributes and 12,000+ SKUs mapped to a clean Shopify schema, 15,000+ redirects preserving every ranking. Mess excluded.
Core data live a month before the deadline. 23 suppliers and 4 marketplaces (Amazon, Takealot, Makro, Nedbank Avo) integrated into one operation that no longer has an expiry date, and runs 40%+ cheaper every month.

Traffic flatlined for a year. The audit said why.
Bleed: a plateau everyone had learned to live with. Tourniquet: a forensic SEO audit and keyword-gap analysis against the competitors quietly taking their demand. Velocity: a quarter-by-quarter content roadmap targeting the terms competitors owned and they didn’t.
