re-platforming.

Many webshops grow faster than their platform can handle. Replatforming helps you break free from limitations in technology, maintenance, and flexibility.

Discover how Epartment guides you to a future-proof Magento environment that is scalable, integrated, and ready for growth.

We understand it well

Why replatforming in
e-commerce is worthwhile.

Why replatforming in
e-commerce is worthwhile.

Many e-commerce companies eventually encounter the limits of their webshop platform. Think of limited expansion possibilities, high maintenance costs, or a lack of flexibility to grow with your organization. That is when replatforming comes into view.

Switching to a new platform might sound like a big step, but with a well-thought-out approach, it becomes an investment that makes your webshop future-proof. At Epartment, we guide this process from A to Z: strategically, technically, and practically.

From problem to plan.

A successful replatforming process begins with mapping your current situation. What challenges are you facing? What technical and functional bottlenecks are hindering growth?

Once you know where you currently stand, you can specifically formulate business objectives. Perhaps you want to expand internationally, integrate with external systems, or have more flexibility in design and content management.

These goals form the basis for choosing your new platform!

Which one is better now?

The choice between Open Source and SaaS.

One of the most important decisions during a replatforming process is the choice of platform type. Both have advantages and disadvantages that you need to consider.

Advantages of Open Source

Open Source solutions such as Magento do provide that control. You get access to the source code, allowing you to fully customize the platform to your needs. From the design and user experience to complex integrations and specific logic. You choose your development team or partner yourself and you do not have vendor lock-in.

Benefits of SaaS

SaaS solutions are particularly popular because of their ease of use. You can quickly go live without needing much technical knowledge. Things like hosting, maintenance, and security are completely handled by the provider. For many companies, this is ideal: you pay a fixed monthly fee and don't have to worry about technical management.

Disadvantages of Open Source

This does require a bit more from your organization. You need technical knowledge or a development partner like Epartment to do that for you. You also manage hosting and maintenance yourself. As a result, startup costs are often somewhat higher. But in the long term, it provides you with flexibility, scalability, and independence from external parties.

Disadvantages of SaaS

At the same time, there are also limitations. Within a SaaS environment, you have less freedom to customize your webshop according to your wishes. You are bound by the features that the platform offers, and often also by the development direction of the provider. Do you want more customization or full control? Then you quickly encounter limitations.

In short, if you choose speed and convenience, then SaaS is a logical option. Are you looking for maximum freedom and control? Then Open Source is often the better choice.

Magento is one of the most widely used Open Source e-commerce platforms worldwide. The platform is powerful, flexible, and suitable for webshop owners who want to take the next step and have outgrown their current platform.

Magento makes it possible to build complex integrations with external systems such as ERP's or PIM's, manage multiple stores and languages from one backend, and create a fully customized user experience.
