What's Included

Everything under one roof

Everything included in this engagement, from architecture to long-term support — one team, one system.

eCommerce Platforms

Storefronts built for real conversion, not a template with your logo on it.

Online Marketplaces

Multi-vendor platforms with the listing, search, and transaction flow real marketplaces need.

B2B Commerce

Bulk ordering, custom pricing, and account-based buying built for real business customers.

B2C Commerce

Consumer shopping experiences designed around how people actually browse and buy.

Order Management

Order status, fulfilment, and exceptions handled from a single system of record.

Inventory Systems

Stock levels kept accurate in real time, across every channel and location.

Product Management

Catalogue structure and product data organized to stay accurate as the range grows.

Customer Portals

Self-service account access to orders, returns, and history for your customers.

Payment Platforms

Checkout and payment flows engineered for reliability and PCI DSS compliance.

Loyalty Systems

Rewards and retention mechanics built into the platform, not a bolted-on third-party widget.

Retail Analytics

Sales, inventory, and customer data built on the same model as the rest of the platform.

Mobile Shopping Apps

Native-quality mobile shopping experiences, not a shrunk desktop storefront.
Why Aixo Lab

Why Retail Companies Choose Aixo Lab

  1. Customer Experience First

    Every design decision is filtered through whether it actually helps customers buy, not just whether it's a common commerce pattern.

  2. Scalable Commerce Architecture

    Systems designed to handle real traffic spikes — sales, launches, seasonal peaks — not just steady-state load.

  3. Reliable Integrations

    Inventory, payments, logistics, and analytics integrations built to keep working as each connected system changes.

  4. Long-term Product Evolution

    A platform your team can extend as the business grows, without a rebuild every time a new channel or region is added.

Security & Performance

The engineering foundation every commerce platform needs

Security and performance built into the architecture from the start, not audited in after the fact.

PCI DSS Ready

Payment data handling designed to meet PCI DSS requirements from the first architecture decision.

Secure Payments

Payment flows engineered for reliability and security, not bolted onto an existing system.

Role Permissions

Access to store data and operations scoped correctly by role, enforced consistently across the platform.

Encryption

Customer and payment data encrypted at rest and in transit, by default.

Cloud Infrastructure

Infrastructure that scales with traffic, built for the reliability commerce platforms require.

Caching

Caching strategy designed to keep the storefront fast under real traffic, not just in a demo.

Performance Optimisation

Core Web Vitals treated as a build requirement, not a nice-to-have fixed after complaints.

Monitoring

Real-time visibility into store health, so issues are caught before they cost sales.
Commerce Capabilities

The platform capabilities every commerce product needs

Capabilities built into the platform from the start, not bolted on after the first sale.

Shopping Cart

Cart logic that handles real edge cases — stock changes, pricing rules, saved carts — correctly.

Checkout

A checkout flow engineered to convert, not just technically complete a transaction.

Payments

Payment processing built for reliability and PCI DSS compliance, not bolted onto an existing system.

Inventory

Stock levels kept accurate in real time, across every channel that touches them.

Product Catalogue

Catalogue structure and product data organized to stay accurate as the range grows.

Customer Accounts

Self-service account access to orders, addresses, and preferences.

Loyalty

Rewards and retention mechanics built into the platform, not a bolted-on third-party widget.

Discount Engine

Promotions and pricing rules that apply correctly across products, carts, and channels.

Analytics

Sales and customer performance visible in real time, not reconstructed at month-end.

Recommendations

Product suggestions built on real purchase and browsing data, not a generic "you might also like."

Search

Fast, relevant product search that actually understands what customers are looking for.

Notifications

Order, shipping, and account updates delivered automatically to the right customer.
Technology Stack

Built on a modern, production-grade stack

Every technology here is a deliberate choice, not a default.

Next.js

React framework for server rendering, static generation, and the performance storefronts need.

React

Component-based UI library for building interactive commerce interfaces.

React Native

Cross-platform mobile framework covering iOS and Android from a single codebase.

Laravel

PHP framework for backend services and business logic behind commerce workflows.

Node.js

JavaScript runtime for real-time APIs and services shared between web and mobile clients.

PostgreSQL

Primary relational database for structured product, order, and customer data.

Redis

Caching and real-time data layer keeping the storefront fast under real traffic.

Docker

Containerizes every service so environments stay identical from development to production.

AWS

Cloud infrastructure for hosting, storage, and scaling commerce workloads.

Stripe

Payment processing infrastructure for cards, subscriptions, and payouts.

Shopify

Used as a commerce backend or migration source when a project's scope calls for it.

Commerce APIs

Standards-based interfaces connecting the platform to carriers, marketplaces, and commerce backends.

REST APIs

The default integration standard for connecting the platform to other retail systems.

GraphQL

Used when a storefront or mobile client needs to query exactly the data it needs from a complex catalogue.
