Shopping apps and in-store screens for retail
Shoppers expect the same prices, stock and offers in your store, on your website and in your app. We build the apps and online stores, and run the screens in every branch with DSTology.
What we build for retailers
Everything shares one product catalogue, so a price change happens once.
Shopping and loyalty apps
Browse, buy, collect points and get offers, with saved details and faster checkout for repeat shoppers.
In-store screens
New arrivals, offers and bestsellers on every store screen, scheduled by time and location with DSTology. Screens for perfume and oud stores
Online stores
E-commerce websites that share products, prices and customer accounts with your app and stores.
Live stock by store
Shoppers see what is available online and in each branch, and staff do not sell what is out of stock.
Offers and push notifications
Targeted offers, birthday rewards and reminders, measured by what brings shoppers back.
Sales and stock reporting
Sales, stock and campaign results by branch in one dashboard.
An app your shoppers come back to
A mobile-friendly website helps new customers find you. An app works best for repeat shoppers, with saved details, loyalty points, notifications and faster checkout. Many retailers start with a website and add an app once they have loyal customers, and we build both.
- Product browsing, wish lists and fast checkout
- Loyalty points earned in store and online
- Live stock from your inventory system
- Payments with Stripe, Moneris and Apple Pay in Canada, or mada, Apple Pay and STC Pay in Saudi Arabia
Store screens that sell, updated in minutes
With DSTology, the offers you run in the app can appear on the screens in every store on the same day, by city, mall or branch. Window and counter screens can each show their own content.

Estimate your appRetail: common questions
Should my store have its own app or just a website?
A mobile-friendly website helps new customers find you. An app works best for repeat shoppers, with saved details, loyalty points, notifications and faster checkout. Many retailers start with a website and add an app once they have loyal customers, and we can help with both.
Can the app show live stock from my stores?
Yes. We connect the app to your inventory system, so shoppers see what is available online and in each store, and staff do not sell items that are out of stock.
How does a loyalty program work in a retail app?
Customers earn points or rewards with each purchase, in store or online, and see their balance in the app. You can send targeted offers, birthday rewards and reminders, and measure which promotions bring people back.
Can in-store screens show the same promotions as the app?
Yes. With DSTology, the offers you run in the app can also appear on screens in every store, scheduled by time of day or by location and updated from one dashboard.
How long does it take to launch a retail app?
It depends on the features and integrations. A starter app takes about 6 to 10 weeks and a business app about 10 to 14 weeks, and a focused first version launches faster than building everything at once.
How much does a retail app cost?
Starter apps start from $15,000 CAD (25,000 SAR), business apps with payments and a dashboard from $36,000 CAD (60,000 SAR). After a short call we send a written proposal with scope, timeline and price.
