: How We Returned Speed, Reliability, and Control Over the Magento System to Gigatron

Gigatron is one of the largest e-commerce leaders in Serbia. With a huge number of products, constant campaigns, and a high daily volume of purchases, they needed a reliable, fast, and scalable Magento platform — as well as a team capable of running it without downtime.

Before we took over the project, they faced issues with performance, stability, communication, and a serious lack of efficient technical support.

Challenges

Gigatron was facing:

Slow loading of categories, search, and product pages

Non-optimized Magento environment:

Without fast and expert support, problems continued to pile up, directly affecting both the users and business results.
