This document discusses Pino GmbH's transition from Magento 1 to Magento 2 for their B2B e-commerce business. It outlines their 3 phase plan to build a digital strategy, rescope the project to focus on key features, and launch with a minimum viable product (MVP) that leverages Magento 2's out-of-the-box capabilities. The MVP would focus on their core German market and B2B features. Future phases include expanding to new channels, countries, and customer segments. The goal is to simplify sales digitally while maintaining a 4 month timeline to go live on the new platform.
