Objective Of Guidepost

After Magento announced end-of-life for Magento 1 (June 2020), Guideposts needed to migrate to Magento 2 in order to ensure the continued stability of its expanding business and security of customers’ transactional data. During our initial discussions, the Guideposts team expressed concerns about a drop in overall purchases. They also reported to the experts about an increased number of incomplete orders from the majority of customers visiting the store. Moreover, they were lacking an essential eCommerce store functionality of displaying intuitive product feeds to the visitors.

Following requirements were defined to resolve after consultative conversations:
