Challenge

Thermos Malaysia's existing WordPress-based Ecommerce platform was experiencing recurring security vulnerabilities, a serious risk for any online store, and one that needed a proper long-term fix rather than a patch. Any replacement platform also needed to preserve functionality Thermos relied on, including warranty tracking built into their current site, so the migration couldn't be a simple lift-and-shift. The timing raised the stakes further: Thermos's marketing team was driving high web traffic ahead of the brand's 120th Anniversary celebration, meaning the new platform needed to be both secure and ready to perform under that spotlight.

Goal

Migrate Thermos Malaysia to a safer, more scalable Ecommerce platform capable of continuing to support custom functionality like warranty tracking, while being ready to handle a traffic surge ahead of the brand's 120th Anniversary campaign.

Solution

Sweetmag advised Thermos on the right path forward and proposed Shopify as the most effective solution, then led the full replatforming from WordPress.

Secure, Scalable Replatforming to Shopify

Sweetmag migrated Thermos Malaysia from WordPress to Shopify, resolving the security vulnerabilities of their previous setup while giving the brand a platform built to scale for high-traffic campaign periods, including their upcoming 120th Anniversary celebration.

Preserving Custom Functionality

The migration retained functionality Thermos's customers relied on, including warranty tracking, ensuring the move to a new platform didn't come at the cost of features already built into the customer experience.

Merchandising Support

Beyond the platform migration, Sweetmag supported Thermos with merchandising work on the new storefront before handing the platform over to Thermos's team.
