Texas Restaurant Supply partnered with ioVista in 2019 to improve SEO and digital presence. Within 90 days, store visibility and keyword rankings surged. As they grew, ioVista guided them in launching PPC, opening a third store, and migrating from Joomla to BigCommerce. The new platform boosted SEO, mobile usability, and eCommerce capabilities, driving continued success.

The Challenge:

Migrating from Joomla to BigCommerce without compromising SEO rankings, transferring 270 blogs, and migrating historical data. Joomla lacks the necessary tools for effective data management.

The absence of a data matrix in the backend and the presence of complex, disorganized data added to the complexity of migrating the website to the BigCommerce platform. ioVista leveraged the move from Joomla to Bigcommerce to redesign the user experience and functionality of the website. While optimizing the SEO strategy for enhanced performance and user engagement

Since some of their products are huge in size, bulky in weight, and irregularly shaped, ioVista introduced a trusted technology partner, ShipperHQ, that would remove shipping issues from their business processes.

With a past history of only selling regionally, they were not familiar with other states' tax regulations and tax nexus and did not want to learn about them. We introduced them to our partner Avalara, whose Avatax app, added to their new BigCommerce website, removed all the tax hassles so they could concentrate on selling restaurant equipment.

Background:
Their original website was built in-house by an employee who was a Magento open-source enthusiast. It went live in 2013​ on Magento 1.7, then upgraded in 2015 to Magento 1.8, and finally upgraded to Magento 1.9 in 2018. When the decision was made to leave Magento 1 because of the platform's end of life, Cord Financial had grown significantly since 2013, and so had its needs. Adobe Commerce Cloud was a clear choice, with built-in B2B capabilities, Business intelligence dashboards, and PCI compliance.

The Challenge:
The challenge was migrating the data from the existing Magento 1 platform to Magento 2 and integrating their ERP Cord Financial wanted to include its repair services on the e-commerce website since services do not have a complete price until the repair has been made. This presented challenges for the checkout and payment. If a customer needed products or supplies and a repair - the product and supplies would have a fixed price, and the repair final pricing would be determined later. CORD wanted the ability for both products and repair to be purchased on the same order.
