Challenges
USESI was on a legacy platform and was looking to move to a flexible and robust eCommerce platform that can support customization specific to their business. The team zeroed in on Magento to power the brand’s omnichannel vision.
USESI wanted to add features to the website that could expand sales channels, improve customer experience and strengthen its digital footprint. The brand wanted its existing customers to adopt digital buying and increase new customer acquisitions through online channels.
The client did not want any downtime when the system updates occur.
USESI was looking for a reliable partner that had the technical know-how to bring out the best in Magento and establish a truly digital ecosystem.
