Dedicated Server E-commerce Modernisation for The Pine Garden

What the customer needed resolved

The Pine Garden’s online ordering system was built on an ageing, customised ASP application. The legacy platform was increasingly difficult to maintain and limited the improvements that could be made to the customer shopping and ordering experience. As a busy Singapore e-commerce operation, the business also needed responsive local infrastructure capable of handling substantial daily order activity.

How the project was handled

• 

  Reviewed the legacy ASP application, ordering workflows, business rules, data dependencies and operational requirements before planning the rewrite.

• 

  Designed and rebuilt the customised ordering system on an open-source PHP stack to improve maintainability and reduce dependence on obsolete technology.

• 

  Updated the online shopping flow and supporting website components to provide customers with a smoother ordering experience.

• 

  Provisioned high-performance dedicated server infrastructure in Singapore for the application and database workload.

• 

  Validated ordering workflows after migration and continued to provide managed hosting and technical support throughout a customer relationship spanning more than 10 years.

The documented result

PGCake.com now operates on a maintainable open-source PHP stack hosted on QUAPE’s dedicated Singapore infrastructure. The local server location reduces network distance for Singapore customers and supports a responsive ordering experience during substantial daily e-commerce activity. According to QUAPE project records, the modernised platform improved the web shopping experience and has remained under QUAPE’s hosting and technical care for more than 10 years. No fixed latency, order-throughput or conversion-rate improvement is claimed because a preserved public benchmark dataset was not provided.
