Data MigrationDone Right
Moving your eCommerce store means moving every product, customer, order, and custom attribute — without losing a single record. We have done this hundreds of times, across every major platform.

How We Protect Data Integrity
Every migration decision we make is designed around one principle: no data is ever lost, corrupted, or exposed.
Full Backup Before Anything
Before a single script runs, we take a complete backup of your source store — database, media files, and configuration. You can always go back.
Automated Validation Passes
After every migration run, automated scripts check record counts, attribute completeness, relationship integrity, and data types across all migrated entities.
Delta Sync at Go-Live
Your live store keeps running during migration. At go-live, we run a delta sync to capture all changes made since the initial migration — no data left behind.
Secure Data Handling
All data is transferred over encrypted connections. Customer passwords are migrated as hashes — never in plaintext. GDPR compliance maintained throughout.
Data Mapping & Migration Validation
We do not copy-paste data. We engineer the migration — field by field, with validation at every step.
Source Audit
We export and analyse the full schema of your source platform — tables, relationships, custom attributes, and data volumes. Nothing is assumed; everything is documented.
Target Schema Design
We map every source field to its destination equivalent on the new platform. Where there is no direct equivalent, we design the target structure before any data moves.
Transformation Rules
Data rarely migrates 1:1. We define transformation rules for format changes, value normalisations, relationship restructuring, and any enrichment needed.
Test Migration Run
We run a full migration on a staging environment and validate every entity type — comparing source and destination counts, spot-checking records, and flagging anomalies.
Sign-Off Validation
Your team validates the staging data against the live store. Any discrepancies are documented, root-caused, and resolved before final go-live approval.
Production Migration
Final migration runs against production data, followed by automated validation scripts. Delta sync applied, counts verified, and go-live confirmed only when all checks pass.
Our Data Migration Process
A structured, repeatable process refined across hundreds of migrations — no improvisation, no surprises.
Discovery & Data Audit
3–5 daysWe assess your source platform schema, data volumes, custom attributes, and any known data quality issues. You receive a detailed migration plan and timeline.
Environment & Tooling Setup
2–3 daysTarget environment configured, migration scripts initialised, and staging environment prepared for the first test run.
Data Mapping & Transformation Design
3–7 daysEvery entity type mapped from source to destination. Transformation rules written and reviewed. Edge cases documented before any data moves.
Initial Migration Run
1–5 daysFull migration executed on staging. Automated validation scripts run immediately after. Record counts, relationships, and attribute data verified.
UAT & Stakeholder Validation
3–5 daysYour team reviews key data sets on staging — products, customers, orders. Any issues raised are fixed and the migration re-run until sign-off is given.
Delta Sync & Go-Live Migration
Launch dayFinal migration of production data, delta sync to capture recent changes, automated validation, and confirmation before DNS switch.
Post-Migration Verification
1–2 daysPost-launch verification of live data against source. Any discrepancies investigated and resolved within the stabilisation window.
Know What You Are Moving Before You Move It
We offer a free data audit — we assess your source data, flag any quality issues, and give you a clear picture of migration complexity and timeline before any commitment.
Request a Free Data AuditHandling Complex & Custom Data
Standard migration tools handle standard data. When your store has complexity, you need an engineering team — not a script.
Custom Attributes & Entity Types
Non-standard product attributes, custom entity types, and proprietary data structures are reverse-engineered and mapped to equivalent or new structures on the target platform.
Legacy & Corrupted Data
Old stores often have data quality issues — orphaned records, inconsistent formats, or null values in required fields. We identify, clean, and normalise data before migration.
ERP-Synced Data
When your store data is mastered in an ERP (SAP, Dynamics, NetSuite), we coordinate migration with your ERP team and establish the post-migration sync strategy from day one.
Multi-Store & Multi-Locale Data
Multi-language content, multi-currency pricing, and per-store configurations are migrated with scope intact — no flattening, no loss of locale-specific data.
Large Volume Catalogs
Stores with 100K+ SKUs require chunked migration strategies, optimised batch sizes, and careful index management. We have done this at scale — without timeouts or memory failures.
Custom Pricing & B2B Data
Tier prices, customer group pricing, contract-based price lists, quote history, and company account hierarchies are all migrated with full relational integrity.
Risk Reduction & Business Continuity
Every risk we have encountered across hundreds of migrations is now part of our standard process. Here is how we handle the most common ones.
Data loss during migration
Full source backup before any work. Automated post-migration record count validation. Rollback plan documented and tested.
Store downtime during the migration window
All migration work happens on staging. Live store stays operational. Delta sync captures changes. Go-live window under 30 minutes.
Customer login disruption after migration
Passwords migrated as hashed values — customers log in without resetting. Account history and addresses visible from day one.
Order history unavailable post-migration
Full order history including invoices, shipments, credit memos, and payment records migrated and verified before sign-off.
Data quality issues surfacing post-launch
Pre-migration data quality audit identifies issues before they become problems. Cleansing and normalisation completed on source data first.
GDPR or compliance exposure during transfer
All data transfers over encrypted connections. Passwords remain hashed. No PII stored in plain text at any stage of the process.
