Why they chose PrestaShop

« PrestaShop has established itself, beyond the possible interfacing with Sage, for its ability to evolve with an exhaustive range of modules, its ease of use for internal teams and above all, the absence of royalties calculated based on turnover. »

Geoffroy Franqueville, Omnichannel Brand & Consumer Experience Director, Magimix

« Our online store now accounts for 10% of the business’s total turnover and our ambition is to double it by 2024.

Why they recommend PrestaShop

« PrestaShop is the ecommerce platform that makes midmarket companies (1 to 100 million in turnover) the focal point of its strategy! For the same scope (functionally, technically and in terms of performance), a site using Adobe Commerce costs at least 30% more to build and run, as well as for infrastructure. Moving to PrestaShop means benefiting from the latest technological innovations thanks to a symphony environment, allowing you to set up micro-services that make your company’s digital ecosystem effective, efficient and scalable.. »

Thomas Rayrat, Partnership and Business Development Director
Evolutive Group

« Working on both platforms, it is easy to see that with the same features, PrestaShop allows you to save 20% to 30% in development time without having to sacrifice performance. And that’s without even mentioning the much larger PrestaShop community! »

How the Synalia group shifted towards omnichannel with a new website.

We had only experienced Magento, but the solution was too heavy, we couldn't create a unified and fluid ecommerce. Matthias Bonnardel (Celaneo agency), suggested PrestaShop. We hesitated at first because of the conflicting opinions about the platform, then several arguments convinced us to take the plunge. PrestaShop, for example, had the ability to interface with our CRM system and loyalty program, which allowed us to bring together the physical stores and our online store so that the benefits of the loyalty program are availlable both in-store and on the new website of each of our brands.
