Native Eyewear and Costa Del Mar: migration to the new platform
For the US market, Omnys has been involved in the projects to migrate to the new e-commerce platform two brands of the Luxottica group: Native Eyewear and Costa Del Mar.
For both projects, Omnys handled the porting from the previous platform to the new HCL 9 platform, migrating all application components, data, flows and integrations with external systems, as well as upgrading the front-end.
