Project & Challenge

Margifox Distributors, a leading Australian distributor of premium hair care and beauty products, was seeking to enhance their online trade offering by migrating from Magento to Shopify Plus. The primary objectives were to leverage Shopify Plus's advanced B2B functionalities and seamlessly integrate their e-commerce platform with their MYOB Advanced ERP system to synchronise trade pricing and inventory data, and automate sales order processing. In addition to the platform migration and ERP integration, Margifox also required several custom features and functionalities to tailor the Shopify store to their specific business needs. These included a dedicated trade portal with features like invoice viewing, and personalised dashboards, along with functionalities for handling trade-specific pricing, loyalty tiers, and medical product restrictions. The project presented a complex challenge that required expertise in both Shopify Plus development and MYOB Advanced integration. Margifox needed a partner who could not only execute the technical aspects of the project but also understand their unique business requirements and deliver a solution that would empower them to streamline their operations and provide an exceptional experience for their trade customers.

Testimonial

"Victoria and the team at Cyberworkshop developed our Shopify Plus B2B website, integrating it seamlessly with MYOB Advanced. Previously, we were using Magento with a different web developer and went through two builds. With our previous devs, I was used to constant issues that couldn't be resolved, slow response times, and very expensive invoices.

Throughout the entire project, I have been absolutely blown away by Victoria's critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as the dev team's intelligence and promptness. Every challenge that arose was resolved efficiently. I would recommend Cyberworkshop time and time again. They also help on the same day, sometimes within an hour—you won't get that level of service anywhere else! Thank you SO MUCH Victoria, Ben, and the team. You have made us excited about our website again!

If you're wondering whether it's worth the hassle of switching developers, trust me, if you're thinking about switching to Cyberworkshop, it's worth it!"
