Ecce Vita
An online shop for natural medicine and herbal blends that lost its development team while up and running. We took it over, stabilised it and developed it for years without the cost of building a new shop. Finally, we helped it migrate to the Shoptet platform.
- takeover, development and handover to Shoptet
A takeover without a rebuild
An audit, error monitoring and a clear process – then years of development and finally a move to Shoptet.
The online shop was built on Zend Framework 1, which we know well, so we were able to take the project over very quickly. As part of the takeover we audited the code and the overall state of the project, and set up automatic error monitoring and the whole development management process. We then moved the growing shop to new infrastructure and current technology versions.
Together with the client we agreed on a process for tasks and ideas that suited everyone and left no room for miscommunication. We developed the shop for years. When the platform we had taken over had aged and migrating to Shoptet suited the client's plans better than developing a new platform of its own, we helped with the move.

Take over, develop, hand over
Ecce Vita lost its developer in the middle of operation. Instead of paying to build a new online shop, we took over the existing code, mapped it, deployed monitoring and moved the shop to new infrastructure. We then developed it for years and finally helped it migrate to the Shoptet platform.
Seven areas we worked through in the shop
From taking over the code through sales channels and accounting to the move to Shoptet.
-
Development takeover
Code audit, error monitoring and process set-up. Development continued on the existing platform, without building a new shop.
-
Sales channels
Connections to Heureka.cz, Zboží.cz, Mall.cz, Google and Facebook – the product range was exported automatically.
-
Accounting and invoicing
Orders, payments and tax documents flowed into ABRA FlexiBee, which made managing the shop and its accounting simpler.
-
ČSOB payment gateway
Fast, convenient card payment right in the order.
-
Selling abroad
The shop in Czech and English, payments in various currencies and shipping by destination country – including dispatch to Slovakia.
-
Affiliate programme
Websites and blogs about natural medicine could become partners of the shop and earn a share of its sales.
-
Migration to Shoptet
The platform we had taken over had aged, and migrating to Shoptet suited the client's plans better than developing a new one. We helped with the move.
How the project runs today
New infrastructure
Because of growing traffic, we moved the shop to new infrastructure and took care of its smooth running.
Even the end of a cooperation can be done well
When the shop moved to Shoptet, we helped with the migration. The client was not left alone with everything that years of development had produced.
