Customer and order migration
Use the evidence to set priorities and acceptance criteria before choosing implementation details.
Regional platform to Shopify Plus
Take a regional brandinto a global operating model
Move beyond template, data-access, and market limits while preserving the customer and operational context built on SHOPLINE, 91APP, or another regional platform.

The core decision
Global expansion changes the operating model as well as the storefront language.
Payments, fulfillment, product information, acquisition, content, and team ownership shift by market. We design the Shopify foundation around those differences without recreating the old store abroad.
What creates pressure
Three constraints to resolve before implementation
Global-market architecture
Translate the finding into a clear operating decision, an owner, and a measurable review point.
Local and cross-border operations
Keep the decision visible through design, engineering, launch, and the first optimization cycle.
What the delivery must cover
Customer and order migration
Define the decision, dependencies, and proof required before work moves into production.
Global-market architecture
Design with real content and operating constraints so the experience can survive launch.
Local and cross-border operations
Build explicit system boundaries, release ownership, and maintainable implementation paths.
What the team should leave with
Validate the result and leave the team with a practical next operating cycle.
Decision comparison
| Current model | Target operating model | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Dependencies are spread across vendors and tools. | Owners and system boundaries are explicit. |
| Release flow | Changes wait on fragile or manual coordination. | Teams can preview, validate, and release deliberately. |
| Experience | Platform constraints shape the customer journey. | The journey follows the brand and buying context. |
| Operations | Exceptions become recurring manual work. | Common workflows are designed into the operating model. |
| Change cost | Each change reopens old dependencies. | Reusable foundations lower the cost of the next change. |
Delivery process
Discover
Map the business decision, current constraints, dependencies, and acceptance evidence.
Define
Agree on the target journey, system ownership, data boundaries, and implementation scope.
Design
Prototype with real content and validate the highest-risk journeys before full production.
Build
Implement, integrate, and test the system with observable quality gates.
Launch and learn
Rehearse cutover, monitor the release, and turn evidence into the next iteration.
Common questions
How do you decide the project scope?＋
We begin with the business decision, current-state constraints, target operating model, and evidence required for acceptance. The scope follows those findings.
Can Tenten work with our internal team and existing vendors?＋
Yes. We document system and decision ownership early so internal teams and specialist partners can work without ambiguous handoffs.
How do we keep the scope from expanding indefinitely?＋
We tie scope to the decisions, dependencies, and acceptance evidence agreed at the start, then record changes rather than hiding them inside delivery.
What happens after launch?＋
The first operating cycle reviews performance, user behavior, content needs, and unresolved risks so the next iteration starts from evidence.
