Julija has taken on this challenge, along with Vukasin and has already made a leap in graphics quality and developed new handover processes.
Magento Import
Importing data in to Magento has been one of the biggest issues we have experienced on our past projects. At the Hackerton two of the team members were set the challenge of working out a simple fast reliable way to import simple products, configurable products and product attributes into Magento. They succeeded by carrying out all data conversions in excel and breaking down each product import in to a number of smaller imports. Well done Aleksandar Todic!
