    Outdated technology on legacy platforms is expensive to maintain, slow to enhance, and demands a dedicated team. For brands aiming to scale and leverage the latest trends, such platforms become obstacles.

    Image

    Your total cost of ownership is high, maintenance is complex, and you’re lagging in innovation. New integrations require custom development instead of being plug-and-play, and performance issues impact conversions.

    Migrating from this stack empowers your team to market more effectively, improve operational efficiency, and capitalize on built-in SEO advantages. BigCommerce offers scalability, flexibility, and automation, enabling your brand to grow with modern SaaS tools.

    Migrating to BigCommerce: Platform-Specific Expertise

    Codal has successfully transitioned brands from leading legacy platforms, ensuring a seamless migration to BigCommerce with minimal risk and maximum performance. Whether you're moving from an outdated monolithic system or a restrictive SaaS platform, we deliver tailored migrations built for scalability, speed, and agility. Not listed? We've effectively migrated brands from various other platforms, crafting custom migration strategies to meet their unique needs.

    sap

    SAP Commerce users often face high development costs, slow time to market, and complex backend management. While it offers deep enterprise capabilities, it lacks the agility and user-friendliness modern eCommerce demands. BigCommerce provides a scalable, API-driven solution with reduced maintenance overhead and a faster innovation cycle.

    magento

    Magento retailers encounter escalating costs, sluggish performance, and extensive development requirements to stay competitive. Managing upgrades and security patches is a constant challenge. BigCommerce eliminates technical debt, offering an intuitive, high-performing platform that supports growth without heavy maintenance.


    salesforce

    Salesforce Commerce Cloud retailers experience prolonged development cycles, costly licensing fees, and intricate integrations. While robust for enterprises, it can be inflexible and slow-moving. BigCommerce offers a cost-effective, agile alternative with a composable commerce approach that streamlines operations and enhances performance.

    shopware

    Shopware retailers often deal with subpar checkout experiences, limited integration options, and restricted autonomy over website changes. While flexible, it can be limiting when scaling internationally or managing omnichannel operations. BigCommerce provides a vast app ecosystem, enterprise-grade checkout, and true scalability for growing brands.



    woocommerce

    WooCommerce merchants frequently struggle with scalability issues, security vulnerabilities, and increasing maintenance costs. Managing plugins, hosting, and frequent updates demands continuous technical effort, leading to downtime and performance bottlenecks. BigCommerce offers a fully managed, high-performance solution with enterprise-grade security, seamless integrations, and the infrastructure to scale without operational challenges.

    Image

    Custom Platforms

    Custom-built platforms often result in high maintenance costs, security concerns, and limited feature updates. Scaling a bespoke eCommerce solution requires extensive development resources, hindering innovation. BigCommerce removes these obstacles, delivering enterprise-level flexibility, security, and rapid time to market without ongoing technical complexity.

    By choosing Codal for your migration to BigCommerce, you're partnering with experts dedicated to transforming your eCommerce operations, ensuring a smooth transition, and positioning your brand for sustained growth.
