Tekno

About Tekno

Tekno builds scale models of trucks for manufacturers, transport companies and collectors from all over the world! With a great eye for detail, Tekno reproduces trucks to scale where no mirror or light is missing compared to the (large) original. This makes Tekno an absolute world player within its branch, which also has the collector at heart.

 

Hosting at Hypernode

For Tekno, every Friday is a much anticipated event. That's when the latest miniature truck model comes out, and collectors are ready to buy it immediately-often within minutes. These are not just any truck models, but sought-after collectibles that draw huge amounts of traffic to Tekno's website. As demand grew, so did the need for a more stable and powerful hosting solution, as the website couldn't always cope.

Issue

Before Tekno partnered with Ecomwise and Hypernode, it hosted its website on a cloud server. However, during times of high demand-particularly on Fridays when new models were released-this environment struggled to keep up with traffic. Slow load times, occasional site crashes and a disrupted customer experience became increasingly frequent.

Tekno needed a reliable solution that could handle spikes in traffic so that the website remained fast, stable and able to manage high conversion moments during product launches. Stability and performance during peak traffic were crucial for the success of the brand.

Our solution

We understand Tekno's challenges and recommended a transition to Hypernode. With our expertise in e-commerce hosting solutions, it led the way for Tekno to move to a more robust environment. The solution: Hypernode's dedicated servers and autoscaling technology.

Hypernode dedicated servers

These servers provided the dedicated power and stability Tekno needed to handle the large traffic spikes associated with each launch. No more delays or downtime.

Autoscaling

The auto scaling feature automatically adjusts to the incoming traffic, ensuring the website performs optimally no matter how many collectors are trying to place an order at the same time. Thanks to Hypernode's tailored strategy and powerful infrastructure, Tekno managed to achieve the performance and reliability they were looking for.

Implementation

The move to Hypernode's dedicated servers was seamless, thanks to our expertise and Hypernode's support team. Within the project, we coordinated the migration, testing and tuning to ensure everything was set up properly. The Tekno team was able to focus on testing the environment and ensuring a seamless customer experience, while we worked with Hypernode to take care of the technical details.

The result

Since implementing the new hosting solution with Hypernode, Tekno's website has seen a significant improvement in performance. The site can now easily handle the high traffic spikes during product launches, offering a smooth and responsive experience for collectors looking to buy.

This success story is a direct result of the collaboration between Tekno, Ecomwise and Hypernode. With our expertise matching Tekno's business needs, and expert guidance in choosing the right infrastructure enabled Tekno to confidently scale up without worrying about technical disruptions. Tekno can now focus on what they do best-creating exceptional miniature truck models for their loyal customer base.

Transition from Magento 1 to Magento 2

 

The goal

After finding out that the previous webshop, built in Magento 1 no longer met all requirements, Tekno was looking for a new system, preferring Magento 2. There was also a link with Dynamics Nav, but even that did not yet meet all the requirements Tekno now had. The main wishes in a nutshell

  • A modern webshop with a fresh look that encourages sales and makes collectors happy
  • Focused on optimal order processing
  • An optimally integrated system with Dynamics Nav for orders, customers, products and prices
  • A layout where the webshop administrator at Tekno can adjust as much as possible himself
 

The result

Both a business and consumer webshop, in 4 languages, have been set up, where customers can order easily and quickly, including on mobile. The business webshop is shielded, where customers can see their own prices, retrieve sales orders from Navision (including those not placed in the shop) and reserve expected models. Through Mconnect, products can be added and updated from Navision, as well as customers and customer prices. Orders placed in Magento also go directly back to Navision via Mconnect so that the order can be handled and stock updated.

The collector can enjoy navigating through all models, both new and old, including in the digital museum, where previous models can still be admired. The business customer has a quick and easy system where reservations can be quickly placed, products can be ordered and has full insight into all orders placed, invoices and shipments.
