Case Study: Auchan E-Commerce accelerates back office migration and reduces technical debt with SensioLabs and Symfony

Auchan migrates over 1 million lines of code with SensioLabs

Auchan E-Commerce, the online division of a major French supermarket chain, faced challenges scaling its multi-national business due to an outdated home-made PHP framework. They engaged the vendor SensioLabs to migrate their entire back office platform, comprising over one million lines of code, to the Symfony framework.

SensioLabs implemented a progressive migration strategy for Auchan. This secured the functional perimeter, mastered dependencies, and consolidated reusable code. The results included a reduction in technical debt, fewer bugs, faster time to market, and lower project costs and delays. SensioLabs also trained over 40 of Auchan's developers, establishing a lasting partnership.
