About
Our client, a luxury e-commerce brand from Saudi Arabia, set out to deliver a seamless, high-end shopping experience. We developed two multilingual, multiregional mobile apps with personalized product listings and full synchronization with the website. As a result, the brand saw a 40% increase in Android users, 17% growth in iOS users, and a 45% boost in average app usage time.
Challenge, approach, and impact
Story Behind
The client’s existing mobile apps, built with a proprietary CMS, lacked the scalability and flexibility required for their growing luxury e-commerce business. They initiated a full rebuild of their web and mobile platforms, engaging our partner for website development and the OTAKOYI team for mobile application development.
Technical & Integration Challenges
• Magento API limitations — key modules like catalog filters lacked API support, and the page builder was web-only • Magento Extensions missing or inconsistent API documentation • No unified API documentation, requiring extensive reverse-engineering with Postman • Development and testing of custom APIs significantly extended the timeline • Tabby AI lacked an official Flutter SDK, so we built a custom integration based on open-source React Native code and API documentation
Coordination & Cross-Platform Challenges
• Seamless migration from native apps to Flutter, preserving user sessions and avoiding disruptions • Unifying inconsistent feature sets between iOS and Android into a single cross-platform experience
