Project Overview

Fashion Eyewear is a leading UK-based online optician offering thousands of designer frames and prescription lenses. With over 40,000 SKUs and rapid catalog turnover, the client needed a platform that could handle large-scale product updates, personalized prescription logic, and stable site operation under heavy loads. We supported their migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2, enhanced admin tools, and configured a performance-ready infrastructure.

Challenges & Pain Points

  • Manual product updates for thousands of SKUs
  • Limited prescription functionality restricting customer experience
  • Sluggish Magento 1 performance affecting product uploads and checkout
  • Unstable hosting setup and inefficient server resource allocation

Results & Outcomes

Product Catalog Management

40,000+ Images Updated Simultaneously

The client can now bulk-edit, upload, or replace product data and media at scale without relying on third-party tools.

Checkout & Prescription Flow

Personalized Lens Configuration

Customers can now upload prescriptions and receive AI-driven recommendations for lens types, coatings, and thickness.

Platform Performance

30% Overall Speed Boost

With custom servers and Magento 2 code optimization, the store loads faster and handles spikes effortlessly.

Hosting & Infrastructure

70% Cost Reduction

Rebalanced server architecture and fine-tuned MySQL operations led to major savings in cloud hosting costs.

Solution

Case 1

Custom Module for Bulk Product Processing

Challenge
The client needed to manage a massive and ever-changing catalog of over 40,000 eyewear products with efficiency and speed.


Solution
We upgraded a previously developed migration module to include bulk actions such as mass uploads, image replacement, attribute updates, and category movements. Advanced logic ensures efficient disk usage and prevents image duplication.


Outcome
The client recently used the module to update images across 40,000 SKUs simultaneously, streamlining internal operations and saving time.

Case 2

Prescription Module Enhancement

Challenge
The store’s prescription lens configuration was limited and did not support photo uploads or complex logic required by key suppliers.


Solution
We introduced intelligent lens configuration templates, VAT logic, and support for prescription uploads. The module now recommends lens options based on uploaded prescriptions and supports flexible product attributes per manufacturer.


Outcome
The new system improves customer experience and automates tax calculations based on geography and medical documentation.

Case 3

Magento 2 Upgrade and Code Refactoring

Challenge
Magento 1’s performance and support limitations were negatively impacting user experience and backend efficiency.


Solution
We migrated the store to Magento 2, rewrote custom functionality, and implemented a data migration tool to filter and clean legacy records during transfer.


Outcome
The site now runs on modern architecture with 2x faster product page loads and streamlined navigation.

Case 4

Hosting Architecture Overhaul

Challenge
Performance bottlenecks, downtime, and unoptimized servers were affecting customer satisfaction and increasing monthly costs.


Solution
We separated services across dedicated servers (web, database, and auxiliary), optimized MySQL configuration, and implemented firewall protection with bot mitigation.


Outcome
The client now enjoys secure, high-performance hosting with 70% lower expenses.

Fashion Eyewear demonstrates how a data-heavy e-commerce store can benefit from smart infrastructure, intuitive admin tools, and seamless Magento development. From prescription personalization to bulk catalog processing, every enhancement supports operational efficiency and better customer experience.
