Jeroen Schermer, director of Freelaunching.nl, needed to migrate 230,000 products and large amounts of customer and order data from a Magento 1.8 database to Magento 2. The Ubertheme Data Migration Pro Module was able to successfully transfer all of this data in one extension, allowing Freelaunching.nl to focus on developing client-specific modules rather than spending over 18 hours on the import. With help from Anand Mall at Ubertheme, the module was customized for their needs and the migration was stable, solving their challenge of moving large amounts of data to the new Magento 2 store.
