Derby Cycle

What Developers & Businesses Say

Our old Magento developers could not deliver a working solution in 3 months. Importing 10 million products took days. With two weeks left to our launch date, we decided to start from scratch with Aimeos—best decision ever. In two weeks we launched our platform, and we now import 10 million products in around 30 minutes.
Ranko M. CTO, Automotive
Probably the most scalable eCommerce framework. Very robust and scalable with loading times below every eCommerce system we have seen in the market—super fast! We connected Aimeos with Vue Storefront, creating a PWA-ready eCommerce platform prepared for the future.
Rubén A. CEO & Co-Founder, Information Technology
A robust solution for e-commerce: from simple shops to complex marketplaces, it has a host of features to accommodate every need. Multi-language, multi-currency, multi-site projects with hundreds of thousands of products are seamlessly supported across Laravel and modern PHP frameworks.
