Plutosport.nl in pole position thanks to Magento 2

Plutosport.nl has been working hard since 2005 as an online sports shop, both nationally and internationally. Besides the webshop, the Dutch company, also had physical megastores for a while. Since 2010, however, they fully focus on eCommerce. With a range of tens of thousands of products, Plutosport.nl positions itself as ‘the largest online sports shop’. Their selection includes sport articles and clothing from brands like adidas, Asics, Nike, and Puma. Customers can also find lifestyle products like poloshirts and flip-flops at Plutosport.nl and its international sister sites Plutosport.de, Plutosport.fr, and Plutosport.com. The company also sells through various marketplaces. Besides the consumer market, Plutosport.nl also aims for the business market.

Plutosport.nl was a happy user of Magento 1, but the company realized that they needed a new foundation for technical stability and further online growth. In order to keep up technically and be able to add new functionalities for customers, a migration to another platform became essential. Magento 2 (now known as Adobe Commerce) was the preferred option. A challenge during the transfer however was to continue operationally whilst having both platforms online for a limited period of time. Plutosport.nl considered it important to make a soft landing during a 'peek traffic period'' as a result of COVID, and to create a clear roadmap together for further development of the site.
