E-Commerce | Laravel | Ember.js | POS Integration | MySQL | AWS | Digital Ocean
Book Corner is a custom e-commerce platform built for Pakistan's growing book retail market. We developed this enterprise-grade online bookstore using Laravel for the SEO-optimized storefront and Ember.js for the admin panel and POS system. The platform features seamless integration with physical retail stores, multiple payment options including COD, and real-time inventory synchronization. This legacy modernization project demonstrates how custom software development can transform a struggling WordPress site into a market-leading e-commerce solution.

Book Corner, a well-established book publisher in Pakistan, faced critical technical debt that was stunting their growth. Their legacy WordPress site suffered from slow page load times, frequent crashes, and security vulnerabilities. The existing platform lacked proper inventory management, had no POS integration with their physical stores, and the admin panel was nearly unusable. They needed a complete legacy modernization to compete in the digital retail market.
We executed a complete WordPress to Laravel migration, building a custom e-commerce platform from the ground up. The architecture separates concerns: Laravel powers the SEO-optimized frontend, while Ember.js drives the admin dashboard and POS application. We implemented a distributed infrastructure with media assets on Digital Ocean Spaces, application servers on AWS, and a dedicated MySQL database server for optimal performance.
The custom software development included real-time inventory synchronization between online and physical stores, a complete POS integration system, and enterprise-grade security. We built custom features for book categorization, author management, and multi-location stock tracking. The Ember.js admin panel provides staff with an intuitive interface for managing orders, customers, and inventory across all retail locations.
The legacy modernization delivered exceptional results. Page load times dropped from 8+ seconds to under 2 seconds, and the new Laravel e-commerce platform handles 10x more concurrent users than the old WordPress site. The Ember.js POS system eliminated manual data entry between online and physical stores. Within 2 years of launch, Book Corner's revenue grew to 8 figures with an ROI of 550%, proving the value of custom software development over off-the-shelf solutions.
