Hero Image

Project Overview

Polinetmoi needed to modernize its PrestaShop environment without interrupting day-to-day sales. The project involved upgrading the store from PrestaShop 1.6 to 1.7 while protecting live business activity and improving the platform’s ability to perform under growth. Webgarh delivered the upgrade with zero business disruption, helping the store maintain continuous sales while improving performance, stability, and scalability. The stronger platform foundation also contributed to an estimated 10–15% improvement in overall conversion rate and operational efficiency.
