Household

Migrating a complex subscription business with zero downtime.

An eco-friendly household brand built on subscription laundry products, outgrowing a custom platform while recurring revenue ran through it every day.

The challenge

The riskiest thing to migrate is the thing paying the bills.

Tru Earth’s existing platform struggled to support increasing demand and lacked the scalability required for continued growth. The obvious fix was replatforming; the obstacle was what replatforming would touch.

The subscription system is the core of the business, carrying live recurring revenue. Migrating it — along with large volumes of customer, product, and order data — had to happen with zero disruption. The brand also needed to serve multiple international markets properly.

Structured migration with the subscription data mapped before anything else moved.

The results

Seamless migration, uninterrupted revenue.

The best possible outcome for this kind of project is that customers never noticed it happened.

The takeaway

For a subscription business, the migration success metric isn't speed or budget. It's that nobody's card stopped being charged.
