Dampfi: Scaling a Swiss Online Store with Magento 2 Migration, Odoo ERP Integration, and Inventory Customization
Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration, Odoo ERP integration, multi-source inventory customization and seven custom modules that helped Dampfi.ch streamline logistics and sales processes as it grew.
Project Summary
Elogic Commerce helped Dampfi.ch, a fast-growing Swiss online vape retailer, migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 while improving the operational systems behind its ecommerce business.
The five-month project combined code refactoring and data migration with Odoo ERP integration, multi-location inventory customization, seven custom modules, third-party extensions and mobile optimization. The goal was to improve inventory management, streamline order handling and logistics, and support Dampfi’s continued growth. After launch, order processing time fell 32%, late shipments fell by 25 percentage points and revenue grew 18%. Dampfi then retained Elogic for ongoing store support and maintenance.

About the Client
Dampfi.ch is a Swiss online vape retailer that grew from a small ecommerce business into an operation requiring more advanced inventory and logistics management. As order volumes increased and stock spread across multiple locations, the company needed a more scalable ecommerce platform and better-connected back-office processes.
Project Complexity
Growing order volumes and manual bottlenecks led to missed delivery dates, inventory errors and an increasingly difficult workflow.
Dampfi needed to manage inventory across several warehouses and distribution points without selling sold-out products.
Resource management and sales planning relied on ineffective methods. The store needed a connection to Odoo ERP to manage goods distribution, sales planning, orders and finances.
The project included Swiss payment functionality, including payment slips with reference number (ISR).
The platform migration and the custom functionality had to be delivered together.
Business Challenge
01
Fast growth meant Dampfi's existing setup could no longer keep up with order volumes
02
Missed delivery dates and inventory errors were hurting the customer experience
03
Stock spread across several locations had to be managed without overselling
04
Resource management and sales planning needed an ERP connection
05
The store ran on Magento 1 and needed to move to Magento 2 with new custom functionality
Elogic Commerce's Solution
Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration
Elogic Commerce refactored the existing code, migrated data to Magento 2 and integrated third-party extensions with the new platform.
Multi-source inventory customization
The team customized the existing multi-source inventory solution so Dampfi could manage stock across several locations and avoid selling sold-out products.
Odoo ERP integration
Elogic Commerce integrated Magento 2 with Odoo ERP to support goods distribution, sales planning, order handling and finances.
Custom functionality
Elogic Commerce developed seven modules: a customization of the multi-source inventory solution, marketing functionality, a pick-to-light system, the ERP implementation, credit decision, Swiss payment slips with reference number (ISR) and “Find a cheaper price”.
Third-party integrations
| Integration | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BoostMyShop Embedded ERP, customized by Elogic | Manage all stores and warehouses in one place, access product and order data from every distribution point, and get reports on products, customers and sales |

Mobile optimization and ongoing support
The website was optimized for mobile devices, and Elogic continued with support and maintenance of the store after launch.

Order processing time fell by 32% within three months after launch, following the ERP integration and warehouse workflow improvements.

A long-term partnership
The initial project led Dampfi to retain Elogic for support and maintenance of its store.

When This Solution Is a Good Fit
Combining platform migration with operations-focused development is a strong fit for growing ecommerce businesses whose inventory, order processing and logistics workflows have outgrown their existing setup. It is particularly relevant when a platform migration must be coordinated with ERP integration, multi-location stock management and custom operational functionality.
It is generally not the right fit for small stores with a single warehouse and simple order flows, where a standard migration without custom operational work is usually enough.
