📤 Outsourcing
Delegate execution—focus on outcomes, not daily delivery.

At Eltrino, we’ve delivered outsourced projects for retailers, manufacturers, and SaaS companies across Magento, Shopify, Hyvä, and headless stacks.
🔧 What We Can Fully Handle:
- eCommerce store builds and replatforming
- Performance audits and refactoring
- Migration from Magento to Shopify (or vice versa)
- ERP, CRM, or PIM integration modules
- Custom checkout experiences and frontend modernization
- QA and testing automation
- Infrastructure setup and DevOps as a service
✅ Benefits of Outsourcing
- 🎯 Outcome-Focused Delivery. We commit to deliverables and timelines—so your internal team stays focused on business and customer experience.
- 🧠 Expert-Led Execution. From architecture to deployment, your project is handled by senior engineers, QAs, and architects with deep eCommerce experience.
- 📉 Reduced Management Overhead. You don’t need to assign internal PMs or coordinate tasks daily. We take ownership of planning, process, and reporting.
- 💡 Advisory Included. Get technical guidance along the way—not just code. Our team raises risks, explores better solutions, and aligns decisions with your roadmap.
- 💼 Great for Non-Tech Companies. Ideal for brands, retailers, or digital agencies that want a reliable tech partner—without building internal delivery capacity.
- 🔒 Focused Scope, Minimal Risk. Fixed-scope or agile-based contracts allow you to limit risk while maintaining flexibility.
🧑💻 Staff Augmentation
Extend your team with certified developers and specialists
Staff augmentation is a hiring model that allows you to extend your internal team with external specialists on a flexible basis. Instead of going through a lengthy recruitment process, you gain access to pre-vetted, experienced developers, QA engineers, DevOps, or architects who integrate directly into your team, working under your processes, tools, and direction. At Eltrino, we provide eCommerce-focused staff augmentation, giving you access to Magento, Shopify, and headless commerce experts who are ready to contribute from day one. Whether you need one developer or a full sprint-ready subteam, staff augmentation gives you control, flexibility, and speed without long-term hiring risks.
- Work within your tools, process, and time zone
- Choose full-time or part-time allocation
- Ideal for feature delivery, backlog acceleration, or expert reinforcement

🛠 Turnkey Dedicated Teams
End-to-end delivery teams built around your goals and tech stack.
