Brainvire Announces Successful Go-Live of Hybrid E-commerce Platform for Global Rehabilitation Leader

Brainvire, a leading provider of Shopify Drupal integration and enterprise migration services, announced the successful launch of a major digital transformation project for a global leader in manufacturing rehabilitation equipment.

The project involved migrating the enterprise’s entire e-commerce infrastructure from Magento to Shopify and integrating Shopify’s powerful commerce engine seamlessly into their existing Drupal CMS for content management. This strategic Shopify Drupal migration services initiative establishes a modern, scalable, and content-rich digital ecosystem for the North American manufacturer, known for its innovative products improving patient recovery worldwide.

The manufacturer, a trusted name in advanced therapies for musculoskeletal, neurological, and soft tissue disorders, approached Brainvire seeking a solution to streamline their e-commerce operations. Their goal was to leverage Shopify's superior e-commerce functionality, including robust product management, advanced checkout, and flexible order management, while preserving the rich content experience and flexibility offered by Drupal.

The project required meticulous planning and execution over an intensive timeline to ensure the new platform provided a cohesive user experience across their content and commerce channels. Brainvire's Open Source department led the effort, accomplishing a complete overhaul of the digital infrastructure. A key challenge was the secure and efficient Shopify Drupal data migration, which involved transferring all existing product, customer, and order data from the legacy Magento system to the new Shopify platform.

The core of the solution lies in the seamless Drupal ecommerce integration with Shopify, enabling the client to manage sophisticated product catalogs and complex pricing directly in Shopify while utilizing Drupal for the sophisticated Drupal frontend UI/UX design and content presentation.

Drupal is being used as the CMS, while Shopify serves as the eCommerce backend. The idea is for  Drupal to function as the unified frontend for both the CMS and eCommerce sections. All eCommerce pages will be rendered on the Drupal platform by consuming APIs from Shopify.

The newly launched platform boasts several enhanced features essential for an Enterprise-level eCommerce operation. This includes deep Shopify payment gateway integration, supporting options like Shop Pay and Shopify PayPal integration for smooth, high-converting checkout experiences.

Furthermore, the team successfully managed the intricate Shopify Drupal setup, ensuring accurate calculation and configuration of the shipping setup for Shopify Drupal ecommerce~ a crucial factor for a global manufacturer. The successful integration ensures that product management, cart, checkout, order management, and essential email notifications are all synchronized between the two systems, creating a singular, efficient workflow.

This project showcases Brainvire’s capability to deliver complex, multi-platform solutions that unify content and commerce. By utilizing the strengths of each technology, i.e. Drupal for content flexibility and Shopify for sales performance, Brainvire has created a digital ecosystem optimized for scalability and user experience. It marks a significant milestone, confirming the successful integration, data migration, and deployment of the new hybrid storefront. The engagement also includes ongoing Shopify Drupal support and maintenance, securing the platform’s long-term performance.

Chintan Shah, CEO of Brainvire, commented on the significance of the Go-Live. “The trend among leading enterprises today is the move toward composable commerce, where best-of-breed systems are integrated to create a powerful, customized digital experience. Our successful Shopify Drupal integration for this rehabilitation equipment leader perfectly aligns with this. By decoupling the content (Drupal) from the commerce engine (Shopify), we have provided the client with the high-conversion speed and reliability of Shopify while giving their marketing teams the content agility and SEO control of Drupal. This headless or hybrid approach minimizes reliance on monolithic systems, accelerates time-to-market for new features, and positions them for sustained growth in a competitive global market.”

Brainvire’s expertise ensured all client requirements were met, resulting in a cohesive digital storefront that enhances operational efficiency and provides a superior online experience for healthcare professionals globally.
