🔹 Project Overview

The project involved migrating Melitta Official’s online store from a legacy e-commerce platform to a Shopify and Odoo ecosystem, supporting both the customer experience and day-to-day business operations.

As Business Analysts, we worked on the planning and documentation of the migration, helping define system requirements, coordinate the implementation approach, and ensure the operational processes were reflected across both platforms.

Shopify was implemented as the customer-facing storefront, while Odoo became the central system for products, inventory, orders, and fulfilment. A dedicated integration layer synchronised both platforms, allowing information to remain consistent throughout the business.

🔹 Scope of Work

E-Commerce Replatforming

• Planned and supported the migration from the legacy e-commerce platform
• Coordinated product, customer, inventory, and historical order migration
• Supported cutover planning to minimise operational disruption

ERP Implementation & Systems Integration

• Supported the implementation of Odoo as the central operational platform
• Configured Shopify as the customer-facing commerce platform
• Defined and validated synchronisation between Shopify and Odoo through a dedicated integration layer

Data Migration & Operational Readiness

• Validated data integrity throughout the migration process
• Performed reconciliation of products, stock levels, customer records, and historical orders
• Supported testing, validation, and operational readiness before go-live

🔹 Value Delivered

• Established a single source of truth for products, inventory, and orders
• Reduced manual work through synchronised data between Shopify and Odoo
• Improved consistency of inventory and order information across both systems
• Delivered a platform ready to support future operational growth
• Completed the migration while maintaining business continuity and preserving data integrity

🔹 Why This Engagement Matters

Replatforming a live e-commerce operation requires more than moving products from one platform to another. Inventory, orders, customer data, and business processes all need to remain aligned while the business continues to operate.

By combining Shopify with Odoo through a carefully planned integration, the project provided a stable operational foundation while allowing the online store to continue growing without increasing operational complexity.
