Modernized a Magento 2 Store to Handle 100+ Orders per Minute

Growing traffic and order volumes had pushed the legacy Magento 1 store beyond its limits. Scrubs & Beyond needed a faster, scalable commerce ecosystem connecting digital shopping, retail stores, inventory, payments, and customer engagement.

• Replacing a monolithic Magento 1 platform that struggled under increasing traffic.
• Upgrading outdated extensions and PHP components with limited compatibility.
• Handling high order volumes without affecting speed or platform stability.
• Improving product discovery across dynamic catalogs, attributes, and categories.
• Connecting online purchases with physical stores through BOPIS functionality.
• Integrating payments, ERP, loyalty, marketing, and customer review systems.

• The engagement brought together Magento specialists, business analysts, designers, and the client’s internal team to define a modernization roadmap. The legacy Magento 1 store was upgraded to Magento 2, supported by code reviews, PHP upgrades, and UI/UX improvements across key shopping journeys.
• Varnish caching and Azure cloud infrastructure strengthened traffic handling and reduced pressure on the commerce servers. These improvements enabled the platform to manage more than 100 orders per minute while delivering faster page loads and greater stability during high-volume periods.
• Elasticsearch introduced faster and more relevant product discovery across a catalog with varied categories and attributes. GraphQL simplified how product information, filters, and listings were requested and displayed, creating smoother browsing experiences across devices.
• BOPIS functionality connected online shopping with the client’s retail network, allowing customers to purchase online and collect orders from nearby stores. Order Dynamics ERP integration brought orders, inventory, shipping, accounting, and supply chain activities into a more coordinated operational flow.
• AI-powered search and product recommendations supported personalized discovery and conversion. Yotpo strengthened loyalty and rewards, while Emarsys supported retention marketing and customer engagement. Apple Pay, Klarna, and card payment options gave customers greater flexibility during checkout.
• Testing and continuous optimization remained part of the multi-year engagement, helping the platform adapt to increasing traffic, evolving customer expectations, and new commerce requirements.

Scrubs & Beyond now has a faster and more scalable commerce platform capable of supporting high-volume orders, omnichannel shopping, and continued retail expansion. 

• 245% increase in sales followed the Magento 2 modernization and conversion-focused shopping improvements.
• 70% growth in website traffic was supported by stronger performance and an improved digital experience.
• 2x faster checkout helped customers complete purchases with less friction across payment options.
• 4x improvement in platform performance created the capacity required to handle more than 100 orders per minute.
