The Client
ASC Direct specialise in building bespoke boxes for a wide range of clients up and down the country, using their state of the art bespoke box builder.
The Challenge
The scope of the project was conceptually quite simple, but the devil was in the detail. ASC wanted a more stable version of their current theme, with some improvements where necessary. 5874 started off with a lot of investigative work, delving deeper into the current theme to identify potential pain points which we then communicated to the wider ASC team.
The biggest challenge was the migration of some complex Lambda scripts, which were intrinsically linked to the functionality that you can see on the site today within the Custom Box Builder application. Both our solutions lead, Ben Palmer, and the Head of Development on the project, Tom Hemus, had to meticulously go through each of the scripts and discuss where potential issues could arise.
After some thorough investigation however, the team managed to identify and prevent many of the potential issues that could have slowed down the migration.

Our Solution
BigCommerce was the platform of choice due to the immense scalability and security benefits that the platform offers. Replacing the old theme with 5874’s custom-built version on BigCommerce Cornerstone solved most of the issues that ASC were experiencing.
The legacy Lambda scripts proved to be difficult to work with at times, causing issues with the reorder functionality, in particular. The preparation work 5874 really helped to tackle the issues that arose here, and the team were able to address them and resolve them quickly and efficiently.
When dealing with sensitive product data and moving it around at scale, using Rewind.io was a no-brainer. In the event of a data mishap, Rewind is there to offer a full backup of the customer data.
