Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Magento is our backbone. Our front-end website pulls product and catalog data from this tool. Our customer service team relies on this as a pseudo-CRM as all our customer data live on this platform. Our tool is also designed to work with our 3PL's backend service for seamless warehouse, inventory, and order management.
Pros and Cons
  • It's a decent system for a start-up company.
  • A lot of extensions can work with it: billing, order management, customer communication, and payment processors to name a few.
  • Highly customizable and reusable.
  • For a normal user, there is a learning curve.
  • Code clean up can sometimes be a headache.
  • It's sometimes sluggish.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is a solid system for front-end and back-end e-commerce website management. It can handle cataloging, inventory, and product management really well. It has a robust engine for uploading product/hero images, SKUs, categories, and subscriptions. It also works well with free extensions so you can build a working e-commerce site in no time.
