My Haircare & Beauty is a large Australian beauty eCommerce project on OpenCart that **Intent Solutions has continuously supported and developed for more than 8 years**. Over this period, the team has delivered a comprehensive platform modernization, including OpenCart upgrades, redesign and UX optimization, performance tuning, a custom checkout, integrations with warehouse, delivery and payment systems, morphological search powered by Elasticsearch, a subscription model for recurring purchases, a full POS solution for the physical store, Klaviyo, end-to-end analytics, and marketing automation.

 

Today, My Haircare & Beauty operates with 35,000+ product positions including variants and continues to evolve on a monthly basis. Intent Solutions is responsible for OpenCart technical support, ongoing eCommerce development, bug fixing, performance, new functionality, integrations, checkout stability, analytics, and optimization of key user flows. This is a long-term eCommerce support case where the technical team does more than maintain a production system — it continuously develops the platform alongside the business over many years.

Process

 

## 8+ Years as My Haircare & Beauty’s External IT Department

 

For more than 8 years, Intent Solutions has continuously supported and developed My Haircare & Beauty as a long-term technology partner. We work not as a one-off contractor, but as an external IT department for the business, taking responsibility for production stability, performance, UX, integrations, marketing technology, and ongoing product development.

 

1. ### Dedicated Team & Managed Roadmap
    
     
    
    A permanent team is assigned to the project and has accumulated deep knowledge of the OpenCart platform, custom code, integrations, and My Haircare & Beauty’s business logic over the years. Together with the client, we define priorities for each development cycle and systematically move the platform forward — from support and technical debt to performance, UX, and new business functionality.
 
1. ### Continuous Communication & Responsive Production Support
    
     
    
    The team stays in regular contact with the business and can quickly respond to critical production issues. We work with checkout, payments, warehouse integrations, delivery services, search, POS, bug fixing, and other business-critical scenarios. Deep knowledge of the architecture and project history allows us to resolve issues without repeatedly rediscovering the system.
 
1. ### Continuous eCommerce Platform Development
    
     
    
    Technical support goes far beyond keeping the platform stable. We regularly launch new capabilities and improve existing ones, including Elasticsearch search, subscriptions, product recommendation quizzes, loyalty mechanics, Klaviyo, analytics, POS, Fraud Risk Analysis, inventory management, and internal process automation.
 
1. ### QA, Releases & Continuous Improvement
    
     
    
    Every change is tested before production release, with particular attention to its impact on checkout, performance, and integrations. After launch, we analyse user behaviour and business results and use those insights to shape the next development cycle. This process has been running continuously every month for more than 8 years.
