Case Study: Sports Platform Migration

RunningHolland
Drupal 7 to 10 Migration

Netherlands' premier running school upgraded course booking and coach certification platform

Running 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.

RunningHolland Case Study - Before and After Migration

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.
