How Krale Migrated Seamlessly with Hypernode & Wedigify
For Krale, performance has always mattered but freedom and flexibility in how they build and scale their webshop mattered more. As their Adobe Commerce Cloud license renewal approached, the team realized it was time to reevaluate.
Together with their agency, Wedigify, and Hypernode as their infrastructure partner, Krale made a confident leap to Magento Open Source saving significantly on costs, improving site performance, and unlocking more autonomy in the process.
The Challenge: Breaking Free from Increasing License Costs
Krale had been running on Adobe Commerce Cloud, but as revenue grew, so did the license fees making the cost increasingly hard to justify. Well before renewal, they turned to Wedigify to explore the feasibility of migrating to Magento Open Source.
The findings were clear: the features Krale depended on were now also available and easy to implement on Open Source. That insight tipped the scales.
“For our business case, it was a no-brainer to rebuild the website on Open Source.” — Krale
But moving away from a platform as complex as Adobe Commerce isn’t something you do overnight. Krale’s goal was precise: maintain all essential functionality while gaining more control and ideally, better performance.
The Solution: Strategic Migration with Wedigify & Seamless Hosting on Hypernode
With a clear plan in place, Wedigify led a careful, phased rebuild of the Krale webshop on Magento Open Source. The team paid close attention to daily operations, ensuring the transition wouldn’t disrupt business as usual. After four months of development and testing, the new platform went live without a hitch.
Behind the scenes, Hypernode played a key role. As Krale’s hosting partner and a long-time collaborator with Wedigify, we conducted a full assessment of Krale’s needs and ensured the new setup was built to handle their traffic, speed expectations, and scaling flexibility.
“Hypernode’s support is fast and always available. They’re also a valuable partner whenever we want to discuss ideas or challenges with someone outside our own team.” — Marc, WeDigify
Having experienced slow support with previous hosting providers, Krale was especially pleased with Hypernode’s responsiveness and proactive partnership during the migration.
The Results: Cost Savings, Faster Performance, and Higher Conversions
The move to Magento Open Source paid off immediately:
- €90,000 saved annually, with €15,000 attributed directly to more cost-effective hosting on Hypernode.
- Conversion rates increased by 15%, thanks to better hosting, SEO and faster performance.
- More control over infrastructure Krale now has the flexibility to scale up or down as needed and only pays for what they use.
Looking Ahead: Built for Growth
What started as a cost-saving initiative has turned into a future-proof foundation for Krale. With Magento Open Source and Hypernode as their hosting backbone, the team now has the freedom, performance, and support they need to keep pushing forward without compromise.
