Stefanel

Full e-commerce relaunch in 6 weeks

The online store ran on legacy Bitrix — it didn't sell and couldn't be managed. We moved the brand to a new platform without touching the back office and had growth coming in from the first weeks.

Situation

Stefanel's online store ran on Bitrix with heavy custom modifications: bloated, unstable, expensive to maintain. Integrations kept breaking, content was updated by hand, conversion sat below market.

In the client's own words: “We have an online store that doesn't sell and can't be managed.”

The task

Move to a manageable platform in the shortest possible time. Leave the back office untouched (1C, warehouse, logistics). Launch a channel that actually sells.

How we worked

Audit

Diagnostics

Audited the current state: tech, content, integrations. Verdict: patching Bitrix would cost more than migrating. Recommendation: Yandex KIT — a managed platform with ready-made integrations.

Launch

Rebuild + Launch

Program lead + general contractor. Workstreams: storefront, content, integrations (1C, warehouse, payments, delivery), launch, team training. The back office stayed untouched — the entire migration happened on the frontend and integration side.

Run

Partial Run

Post-launch: tech support, team onboarding, content and catalog, IT improvements, traffic launch. Conversion and sales growth registered within the first weeks.
