Spurring Electronics Sales with a Custom Magento eCommerce Platform

Customer Background

A leading player in global electronics manufacturing, celebrated for its innovative strides in consumer electronics, gaming, music, and entertainment technology, aimed to broaden its digital commerce presence in the Middle East. To fuel regional growth, the company set its sights on launching a powerful eCommerce platform for its main dealer in Saudi Arabia, with a focus on both the UAE and KSA markets, catering to B2C and B2B customers alike.  

Navigating culturally diverse and compliance-sensitive areas, the brand needed a scalable, multilingual, and regulation-compliant eCommerce solution that aligned with its global UI/UX standards.
