THE CLIENT

Domotio

Domotio originates from the Polish company ALDEX Dyderscy sp. z o.o, operating in the SME sector. It’s a modern platform offering high-quality lighting. Experience, advanced technological infrastructure built upon its in-house machinery fleet, and alignment with contemporary trends constitute the strength of this brand.

Domotio specializes in producing lighting, utilizing glass from Polish manufacturers and components from local suppliers. Combined with its in-house machinery fleet, this grants the company the freedom to create unique designs.

Domotio’s offering is aimed at retail customers who prefer good, stylish, and innovative solutions primarily within the modern trend and at designers, architects, and investors who are provided with precise technical dimensions and 3D models to cater to their needs. As a manufacturer, Domotio can broadly tailor the offering to specific requirements. Modifications in size, color, and details used in our fixtures are possible.

Problem

The client had two online stores – on the Sylius and WooCommerce platforms, but the company decided to unify them by migrating to Sylius.

Reasons and migration goals: 

  • The desire for a thorough change in the store’s visual design. 
  • Limited ability to implement custom functionalities on the WooCommerce platform. 
  • Migration of the blog while preserving existing URL addresses and SEO parameters to ensure the continuity of store positioning effects. 
  • Previous good cooperation with BitBag and satisfaction with the Sylius platform used in another project.
