AI content SaaS platform

A growing MarTech SaaS platform approached Mallow as its legacy Core PHP architecture, fragmented workflows, and increasing complexity across users and clients made it difficult to scale. Managing multi-stage content approvals and integrations with Shopify, WordPress, and HubSpot also became increasingly challenging.
 

Mallow worked as an embedded technical team to modernize the platform’s architecture, rebuild the frontend, improve content workflows, and strengthen third-party integrations. The result was a more scalable and maintainable platform that continued to support live users throughout the transformation.

Our journey from challenges to outcomes

Challenges

What were the client’s key challenges?

Legacy architecture

The platform had outgrown its Core PHP foundation, making development fragile and difficult to scale.

Complex content workflows

Managing multiple users, clients, and approval stages created challenges across the content lifecycle.

Limited frontend flexibility

The existing frontend lacked the flexibility required to support evolving product requirements.

Integration reliability

Shopify, WordPress, and HubSpot integrations needed more reliable data handling and workflow consistency.

Migration downtime risk

The platform needed major technology and infrastructure changes without disrupting active users.

Our Approach

What was our approach?

Backend modernization

We migrated the platform from Core PHP to Laravel 10 to create a more scalable and maintainable architecture.

Structured content workflows

We established defined content stages and role-based access to support creation, review, revision, and approval.

Frontend rebuild

We rebuilt the frontend using Vue 3, progressively integrating components while keeping the live platform stable.

Third-party integration optimization

We strengthened Shopify, WordPress, and HubSpot integrations with reliable data handling, error management, retry mechanisms, and consistency checks.

Seamless migration

We used staged migrations, rollback strategies, and parallel development to minimize disruption, keeping downtime under five minutes.
