INDUSTRY Β· CONSUMER GOODS & SERVICES

Commerce software that holds up during peak season.

We build D2C platforms, loyalty engines and omnichannel commerce software for retail, FMCG, beauty, F&B and hospitality brands across the UAE. Our Dubai-based engineers ship Arabic-first storefronts, integrate Tabby and Tamara correctly, and have launched products that survive White Friday and Ramadan traffic.

How we approach commerce work

Built for the customer and for ops, not just the launch demo.

Commerce software has two audiences: the customer at checkout who needs it fast, and the ops team who needs every order, return and refund traced. We build for both from sprint one.

Real-time inventory
Default on the platforms we ship. Oversells caught before checkout, not after.
Every order traceable
Audit trails wired before launch, not after the first chargeback dispute.

BNPL and card flows tested against the UAE-specific edge cases.

What we build

Six things we ship for consumer brands.

Most engagements pair one platform build with two or three add-on services.

Flagship

D2C storefronts & headless commerce

Arabic-first storefronts on Shopify, Medusa or Saleor, wired to your POS, ERP and delivery partners.

Algolia-backed search, Arabic-aware ranking and recommendations that lift basket size honestly.

What you'll see in six months

Real numbers from retail and FMCG clients.

These are ranges from real engagements. We measure them because retainers depend on them.

Real-time
Inventory across channels

Web, app and store see the same stock within seconds, not the next morning. Oversells drop to near zero.

90 days
To a new market launch

From kickoff to a live storefront with payments, BNPL, delivery and Arabic content for a new GCC country.

Loyalty member growth

Where the program rebuild ships properly. Members earn, redeem and care, not just sign up at the till.

Our tech choices for commerce

Boring, fast stacks your ops and marketing teams already trust.

We pick stacks proven on real storefronts. Fast where it matters at checkout, low-overhead everywhere else.

Storefront

Next.js and React for web, React Native for app. Arabic-first layouts, image CDN, and Core Web Vitals measured in CI.

Commerce engine

Shopify for speed-to-market, Medusa or Saleor where you need full control. Stripe, Tabby and Tamara wired with retries and idempotency.

Small decisions, big impact

The choices that survive peak season.

Commerce platforms live or die by a few decisions made in the first quarter. We focus there and leave clever for the recommendations layer.

01
Idempotent order processing

Checkout webhooks, payment callbacks and delivery confirmations can arrive twice. Our pipelines treat re-delivery as normal, so customers never get double-charged or double-shipped.

02
Reserve inventory at intent, not at checkout

Stock is held the moment a customer adds to cart, with a short timeout. Oversells during a flash sale stop being a daily ops fire.

03
Customer identity, deduplicated

One profile per shopper across web, app, store and call centre. Email, phone and loyalty ID resolved to a single record before marketing or ops touch it.

How an engagement runs

From first call to shipping into live trading.

Week 1
Listen & learn

Walk the store and the warehouse (literally or remotely), read the orders and returns logs, talk to merchants, ops, marketing and CX. We listen for the breaks that always happen during peak hours.

Week 2
Written plan

Milestones, risks, and what we would do first. Including the work we would recommend you do not do before peak season.

Week 3
We start shipping

Our senior pod is in your repos shipping production features. Your team owns the merges, we own the cadence.

Quarterly
Outcome reviews

Measured against the outcomes we agreed on. The people who start with you are the same people in month six.

What our consumer clients say
SKIMBOX rebuilt our D2C checkout and loyalty engine in one quarter. Our White Friday stopped being a fire drill, and active loyalty members more than doubled within six months.

FAQ

The questions we hear most often.

Yes. We build invoicing and tax flows that handle UAE VAT, e-invoicing readiness and cross-border GCC sales. We work alongside your finance team, build the audit trails inspectors actually look for, and rehearse the reg-change motions before they happen.
