About Pool and SPA Centre

Pool and Spa Centre specializes in manufacturing premium spa and hot tub covers using marine-grade vinyl with virgin foam (from 3″ to 5″). Their covers are custom-made for hot tubs ideal for any spa.

They started in 2003 under the name Bubble Tubs Ltd with a goal to provide good customer service, achieve realistic margins, and grow organically. With the passage of time, they kept diversifying with newer ideas and adapting to the changing markets.

Objective

Their old PHP and AngularJS system was getting more and more obsolete and harder to maintain. The legacy system relied heavily upon the original developer, who consistently looked for other opportunities leaving the company vulnerable and unable to maintain or scale the platform. The old software and insecure platform rendered the user’s experience rather horrible. There was a need for a new solution that would allow Pool and Spa Centre to scale, secure, and enhance the usability.
When they reached out to us, we assured that the platform could be changed to meet their requirements. In less than two days, we had formalized the project, and shortly thereafter, began planning for the next steps. These included migrating data, preserving product types, and redesigning the interface of the site. We also built custom features using Magento Open Source for a modern, agile, and secure system that would help the company grow.

Challenges

We encountered several challenges when working with legacy systems. These systems, typically built on outdated technologies, are often hard to manage and upgrade. The reliance on original developers, who was no longer be available, further complicates matters. Additionally, many legacy systems were not designed with scalability in mind, making it difficult for businesses to grow or adapt to market conditions. On top of that, these systems are prone to security vulnerabilities and offer poor user experiences, which was ultimately harming the business.

Outdated technology created difficulties in system management and upgrades.
The business’s reliance on a single developer hindered future flexibility.
Legacy systems were not designed for scalability, making growth and adaptation challenging.
Security vulnerabilities in the old system posed significant risks, while poor user experience impacted customer satisfaction.
