Let's Talk
I'm Florinel Chis, your trusted partner for enterprise e-commerce solutions. With over two decades of experience and deep expertise in both Magento 2/Adobe Commerce and modern Golang microservices, I help businesses build scalable, high-performance online stores that drive revenue growth.
Magendoo is a founder-led technical consultancy for Magento, Adobe Commerce, Odoo, and Go integration work. The focus is the parts of e-commerce that fail under load or after launch: caching that drifts, ERP integrations that retry incorrectly, migrations that go silently wrong at cutover, and release processes that work in dev and break in production.
As former Executive Director of ARMO (Romanian E-Commerce Association), I've shaped industry standards and advocated for digital commerce growth at both national and EU levels. Today, I leverage this experience to help businesses navigate the complex landscape of modern e-commerce.

A consultant's decision matrix. There is no universally best platform — only the best platform for your catalogue, scale, team, and operating model.
| Platform | Best fit | Watch out for | Typical scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magento Open Source | B2B and complex catalogues; full code-level control; in-house engineering team | Requires specialised hosting + ongoing engineering investment; no vendor support | Mid-market to enterprise (€2M–€100M+ GMV) |
| Adobe Commerce | Magento with vendor support; B2B Cloud features; page builder out of the box | Licence cost is revenue-tied; vendor lock-in for support tier | Mid-market to enterprise where vendor support is mandated |
| Shopify Plus | Fast launch, hosted, strong checkout conversion, mature app ecosystem | Customisation limits in checkout/themes; revenue-share + Shopify Payments dependency | Up to high-volume retail; hard limits when B2B complexity is high |
| Odoo | Full ERP + e-commerce + POS in one stack; retail and wholesale operations fit | E-commerce module is less mature than Magento/Shopify; smaller theme ecosystem | SMB to mid-market with operational complexity beyond pure e-commerce |
Founder-led consulting. If you're between two of these, talk to me before committing — the wrong choice costs more than the consulting fee.
