I worked in an e-commerce company before and was responsible for the logistics tech. The first thing to keep in mind, is migration will not be easy, mainly because no one would understand how the current systems work or the decisions behind each function. You’ll need subject matter experts from your team to guide the new devs during the migration. Having a CTO to hire the team is two edge sword. If you get it right, you’ll save months down the line getting things right, but if you get it wrong, there is a chance you’ll have to rewrite everything again in a few years. My suggestion hire a senior full stack developer to do one feature outside the current system but in a way that integrates with the workflow. This experience will provide lots of learning for your company on how to manage expectations, tech stack required, speed of development, ROI. You’re not going for a large investment either, one developer will not break the bank.
