Brushed metalDetectamet: Twelve international Magento sites, audited, upgraded and supported

Case study · Detectamet

Twelve international Magento sites, audited, upgraded and supported.

Magium took over Detectamet's twelve multilingual, multi-currency Magento 2 sites: a full code audit, a move to managed hosting, an upgrade to the latest version and an ongoing roadmap.

Delivered by Magium, the PureNet Group’s Magento and Adobe Commerce agency.

The challenge

Detectamet is the UK’s leading designer and maker of metal- and X-ray-detectable products, used in food and pharmaceutical factories around the world. It holds the world’s largest range of detectable products and manufactures under ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Ecommerce is vital to it: a dozen Magento 2 sites, in several languages and currencies, serving customers worldwide. Run in house, they were hard to keep up to date, lacked a skilled Magento team for new features, and used an unsupported theme. Detectamet also wanted a partner to host and support the sites with high availability, and to keep developing them.

After assessing Magento and Adobe partners, it chose Magium.

The project

  • An audit of the code, extensions, architecture, functionality and security, which gave Magium a thorough understanding of the platform and ideas for getting more from it
  • A migration plan to move the sites into Magium’s test, staging and production environments, keeping the code sound
  • An upgrade to the latest version of Magento, unlocking its new features and security

The results

Detectamet’s platform is now running at its best: monitored and supported by Magium, with its code under version control and documented, hosted in a secure data centre and managed by Magium’s ISO 27001 accredited infrastructure team. Weekly calls set the direction for an ongoing roadmap to grow its online revenue.
