Successful Migration of Efarmz to a Custom E-commerce Platform
As Head of Tech at Efarmz, I led a team of 10 developers to migrate their platform from Prestashop to a fully customized solution. We overcame major challenges, including managing unprecedented order peaks during COVID, and integrating with their real-time ERP system. This transformation contributed to Efarmz winning the E-commerce of the Year award, as well as the Public Award at the BeCommerce Awards and Feweb.

Technical Migration and Custom Rebuild
The original Prestashop platform no longer met Efarmz’s growing needs. I led a complete rebuild, opting for a customized solution, that was more robust, scalable, and tailored to the unique challenges of food e-commerce.

Handling Order Peaks During COVID
During the COVID-19 crisis, Efarmz experienced record-breaking order volumes. I implemented a scalable infrastructure, optimized to handle these peaks while ensuring a seamless user experience.

ERP Integration & Real-Time Synchronization
One of the biggest challenges was integrating Efarmz’s unique real-time ERP system. I led the development efforts to ensure seamless synchronization, of stock and orders in real time, optimizing the supply chain.
