Ecommerce Consulting
We understand the local market. Seeb is not San Francisco. Consumers are different, technology is different. Payments and Logistics and regulations are all specific to Oman and the GCC.

Enterprise Ecommerce
Not all Ecommerce projects are the same. For large projects we can help you run an RFP or choose your partners. We are independent, but know Magento, Shopify Plus, Hybris, Salesforce Commerce Cloud...

Family Companies
We specialise in working with family owned companies on Digital Transformation. Your ecommerce options may include Shopify, WooCommerce or local online store platforms designed for the region.
Global Experience, Local Knowledge
Muscat is not Manhattan.
Most ecommerce platforms and solutions are designed and developed in the USA. They assume a certain set of circumstances including liberal regulations relating to setting up companies and doing business.
Take banking and payments for example. Many ecommerce developers take PayPal and Stripe for granted. Or lets take something even more fundamental. Many design themes for online stores don’t support ‘right to left’ alignment or non-latin text.
We’ve been in the region for a while. Enough to know what happens when you try to send a lipstick across Saudi Arabia in the middle of summer without refrigeration. Long enough to know that if you charge a consumer using PayPal, you might be waiting a long time to get your money.
We also know that Oman is not Dubai. Mussandam is not Medina. We design and build local solutions using world’s best practice solutions.
Ecommerce Training for Oman
Developing Digital Talent
For many companies, Ecommerce and Digital are new skill-sets that have to be developed. Traditional education doesn’t always keep pace with the speed of innovation and change in the commercial world, so people need to learn through training.
Aquitude has developed training courses specifically for the region, including the Bahrain Ecommerce Academy, a program created in conjunction with the Ministry of Commerce, Tourism and Industry.
Our trainers are practitioners. They have been involved with large Ecommerce projects in the region for companies such as Chalhoub Group, Al Tayer, AlGhanim and Abdul Latif Jameel.
All training is certified by ACEDE – the Associated Center for Ecommerce & Digital Excellence. Aquitude is the exclusive training partner for ACEDE in the EMEA region.

Ecommerce Content
The tech part can be relatively easy. Creating content, including product photography, SEO friendly headlines, descriptions and editorial to drive conversion is hard and time consuming. We can help.

Conversion Marketing
You've got your online store, but it's not growing like they told you on the YouTube videos. Getting traffic from influencers on Instagram is not the same as bringing paying customers to your ecommerce store.

Cross-Border Ecommerce
Oman is a smaller market, which is why Ecommerce is so important to expanding your business internationally. From Saudi Arabia and the UAE to the UK an markets in Asia. Online is the key.
B2B Ecommerce in Oman
Business to Business is Coming.
While many companies in Oman are looking at B2C ecommerce success stories like Souq or Noon. There are significant opportunities to streamline and grown B2B online transactions in the Sultanate.
Whether you are an architecture firm, Engineers, Accountants or supplying plant, equipment and spare parts, selling to other companies online is a key part of digital transformation.
