Case Study: Sports Platform Migration
RunningHolland
Drupal 7 to 10 Migration
Netherlands' premier running school upgraded course booking and coach certification platform
Visit RunningHolland WebsiteRunning school since 1998
RunningHolland has been the Netherlands' leading running school for over 25 years, offering training programs from beginner courses to marathon preparation, professional coach certifications, and corporate fitness solutions.
Drupal 7 Commerce to Drupal 10 Commerce
CodeLift migrated the complex course booking system with Drupal Commerce integration, multi-location training management, coach certification programs, and extensive educational content to a modern, secure Drupal 10 platform.
Migration Approach
Commerce Platform Continuity
We migrated the complete Drupal Commerce setup including course products, training registrations, coach certification programs, and payment workflows. All product variations, pricing structures, and booking logic were preserved.
Multi-Location Training Management
RunningHolland operates training sessions across multiple locations (Vondelpark, Amsterdamse Bos, Haarlem). The migration maintained all location-specific course schedules, trainer assignments, and participant management systems.
Educational Content Migration
Over 25 years of accumulated training materials, running techniques, nutrition guides, and marathon preparation programs were migrated with full content integrity. All course descriptions, training schedules, and educational resources remained accessible.
Custom Module Modernization
Legacy custom code for course management, trainer scheduling, and participant tracking was refactored and upgraded to Drupal 10 standards using AI-assisted code analysis and modernization techniques.
Coach Certification System
The professional coach education programs and certification workflows were fully rebuilt in Drupal 10, maintaining all course materials, examination processes, and certification tracking for aspiring running coaches.
Corporate Program Integration
Business-to-business fitness programs and corporate training packages were migrated with specialized pricing structures, group management tools, and company-specific reporting capabilities intact.
Future-Proof Sports Education Platform
RunningHolland's platform was successfully upgraded to Drupal 10 with full Commerce functionality, preserving 25+ years of running expertise while providing a secure, maintainable foundation for continued growth. Course booking, certification programs, and multi-location management continue seamlessly on modern infrastructure.
