Lighting supplier Interlight needed to evaluate and implement A/B testing tools like VWO. However, with a massive catalog of around two million SKUs, their manual export-import process to create a testing sandbox was too slow, costly, and error-prone to be effective.

The Solution
Interlight implemented Vortex IQ's StagingPro to create a reliable, automated, and scalable sandbox that mirrored their live BigCommerce store. This empowered them to:

Replicate a Massive Catalog: Automatically sync their 2 million SKU catalog, saving 5-8 hours of manual work per replication.

Enable Meaningful A/B Testing: Provide third-party tools like VWO with a fully populated, production-like environment for accurate testing.

Safely Vet New Apps: Test new vendor tools and third-party apps in a secure space without risking the performance of their live storefront.

From Scalable Testing to Scalable Intelligence
The ability to handle massive datasets is at the heart of the Vortex IQ platform. This power allows our AI Agent Hub to analyze millions of data points from your catalog, ads,, and analytics, delivering insights and automation that are simply impossible to achieve at scale manually.

Key benefits included:
  • Bulk migration of catalogue and configuration data
  • Support for ongoing updates between staging and production
  • Elimination of redundant manual effort for environment setup

Aaron highlighted that, while their internal vendor previously spent 5–8 hours on manual replication, StagingPro offered a scalable and time-saving alternative. He also appreciated the responsiveness and reliability of the StagingPro support team.

The Outcome: Efficient, Scalable Testing Environment

With StagingPro, Interlight now operates a scalable sandbox that mirrors their live BigCommerce store.

  • Test site changes and third-party tools safely before deploying to production
  • Achieved significant time and cost savings by eliminating manual environment setup of 20%
  • Selectively migrate content and configuration with the Plus Plan
  • Manage theme files efficiently
  • Keep staging environments consistently in sync with production. This added control and agility enables the team to confidently test vendor-driven changes, internal updates, and third-party integrations.
