About the customer

A Leading Beauty Retailer in KSA

A fast-growing, KSA-based beauty and cosmetics retailer, operating one of the region's most active online storefronts in the category. Before turning to ARYtech, the brand had scaled quickly on Salla, a template-based ecommerce platform - building a catalog of 30,000+ SKUs across hundreds of brands and processing over 5,000 orders daily, entirely on off-the-shelf commerce infrastructure.

Salla Platform Capsized at Their Scale

The brand had scaled fast on Salla, a template-based ecommerce platform - but that same template foundation was now the ceiling. As order volume and catalog size grew, they hit a wall on every front: scalability, feature depth, design freedom, and user experience. They evaluated Shopify as an alternative, but found it fell short for the same reasons. The brand needed to move beyond templated commerce entirely - to a platform built specifically around how they sell, at the scale they were already operating at.

Scalability limitations

01

Salla's theme-based architecture couldn't keep pace with a growing catalog of 30,000+ SKUs and rising daily order volume.

Limited feature depth

02

As the brand's needs matured, Salla's out-of-the-box feature set couldn't keep up with what a growing beauty retailer required.

No custom mobile app support

03

Salla didn't support a fully customized mobile app, leaving customers with a generic experience instead of one built around the brand.

No design freedom

04

Locked into template constraints, with no ability to build custom pages or brand-specific layouts.

What We Proposed

A Fully Custom, AI-Powered Ecommerce Platform

Discovery made it clear this wasn't a 'switch platforms' problem, it was a 'stop renting a template' problem. We proposed a fully custom-built ecommerce platform, free of theme constraints, with a native mobile app experience and AI woven into search, discovery, and recommendations, purpose-built for a beauty catalog at this scale.

Solution We Built

A Custom Ecommerce Platform Built for Scale

ARYtech built a fully custom ecommerce platform, replacing the brand's Salla storefront entirely and freeing them from the constraints of theme-based commerce. The platform was architected as a modular monolith giving the team the deployment simplicity and speed of a single codebase, while keeping commerce, catalog, search, and fulfillment logic cleanly separated into independent modules that can scale, update, or be extracted into standalone services as the business grows.On top of that foundation we built a modern Flutter mobile app, giving the brand a fully native, brand-owned customer experience in place of Salla's generic templates. AI-powered search and recommendation models were trained specifically on the beauty and cosmetics catalog, surfacing relevant products by shade, category, and buying pattern rather than generic keyword matching.The platform also integrates in real time with their WMS for warehouse and inventory operations and ERP for financial and business data giving the brand a single, synchronized view of stock, orders, and operations instead of disconnected systems. Migration was executed with zero disruption: all 30,000+ SKUs, product rankings, and catalog structure were preserved end-to-end, with no loss in search visibility or customer experience during the switch.
