eCommerce marketplace solution for a retail office supplies company

Thanks to such a long and fascinating history behind their trademark, Stumpel managed to form an extensive client base. Hence, as an owner of the majority of stationery shops in the Netherlands, the enterprise experienced the urgent need to conquer new digital heights. Yet, today it is impossible to serve clients without a cutting-edge eCommerce solution. In 2020, the company's owner Jeroen Stumpel decided to upgrade the existing website Stumpel.nl based on Magento 2. Our team was requested to develop and maintain the optimized version of the website, enriching it with broader functionality, attractive design, and a next-gen navigation system.

In order to optimize the existing solution, we utilized PHP, which is considered the optimum choice for building many high-performing websites, either dynamic or static. Thus, our developers optimized the database and changed its structure, upgraded server configurations, and implemented uninterruptible CI/CD configuration. We thoroughly tested the existing website speed and prioritized the pages and features that need the most attention to accelerate the website's overall performance and page load time. As a stable foundation for a navigation system, we applied ElasticSearch to reach the maximum efficiency of the search service. Finally, our development team uploaded and configured the Firebear, Amasty, and Koongo modules.

Since 1880, Stumpel has been considered the best Hoorn-based store with a unique selection of competitively priced books, magazines, greeting cards, and luxury office supplies. From literature to thrillers, from children's stories to travel guides, and from science fiction sequels to cookbooks, this one-of-a-kind family business has every kind of product to satisfy even the most demanding customer. Trusted by countless companies, institutions, and governments, Stumpel is a recognized leader in the domain.
