Some news gives meaning to all the work behind the screens. Last week, one of our longest-standing clients, Amascotados, received the Best Pet Shop in Andalusia Award at the II petshopsmagazine Awards 2026/2027, presented in Madrid during Iberzoo Propet, the leading international trade fair for the pet industry.
An award like this isn't won overnight. And we can say this with good reason, because we have been supporting this project for almost a decade.
From a strategic decision to a winning omnichannel store
When the Amascotados team got in touch with Hepta Technologies in 2016, they knew exactly what they wanted: to grow. They had launched in 2015 with an online store and needed to migrate to a platform that better fit their service ecosystem. They were clear that PrestaShop was their choice: the suppliers they worked with, or wanted to work with, had better integration with that platform, and changing their technological foundation was the most coherent decision for their business model.
Our job was to make that transition clean and frictionless, migrating the existing site to PrestaShop. It was the first PrestaShop store we launched at Hepta, and the starting point of a relationship that has now lasted ten years.
Since then, we have worked side by side with them at every stage of their growth:
- Opening of a physical store in 2017, integrating online and offline channels
- Expansion to two physical locations, maintaining omnichannel coherence
- Complete store redesign based on their brand guidelines, ensuring the digital experience accurately reflected who they are
- Upgrade to the latest version of PrestaShop, guaranteeing performance, security, and access to the most modern features
- Development of PrestaShop modules and new functionalities tailored to their store's specific needs
The invisible work that makes a store function
What Amascotados values most —and what we believe makes the difference in any ecommerce project— is not just the specific technical development. It's having someone who understands your business, anticipates problems, and coordinates all the technological players to ensure everything runs smoothly.
At Hepta, we play this role as a trusted technology advisor: we work closely with the client's other technology providers so that every piece fits, new features are implemented seamlessly, and the store is always in top shape to perform at its best.
We are not just the ones who "fix the website". We are the technical liaison that allows our clients to make informed decisions and focus on what they do best: serving their customers and growing their business.
What does an award-winning pet shop have in common with your project?
The recognition from petshopsmagazine values consistent growth, innovation, and leadership in the area of operation. These are exactly the same values that guide our work with every client.
If you have an online store that needs a more solid technological foundation, you're considering migrating platforms, or you simply feel your ecommerce could achieve much more, at Hepta Technologies we know how to support you on that journey.
