INDUSTRYWhat Was the Challenge
Bytes had a clear vision to build the best-in-class B2B software commerce platform user experience that strengthens Bytes’ trusted partner relationships with its customers and resellers. However, its monolithic infrastructure created bottlenecks in scalability, performance, and feature deployment. With increasing demand for rapid feature rollouts and high availability, the existing architecture became a roadblock. Additionally, vendor onboarding processes were cumbersome, delaying key partnerships and integrations. Bytes needed the capacity to future-proof its microservices-driven architecture and ensure agility, seamless vendor integration, and a superior customer experience.

How We Solved the Problem
Ciklum’s partnership with Bytes initiated as a means to drive comprehensive digital transformation, addressing infrastructure limitations and providing engineering capacity. Our teams began shaping their vision through an 8-week product discovery workshop, identifying roadblocks, consolidating solutions, and defining the delivery direction. By transitioning to a microservices architecture and integrating AWS as a cloud partner, Ciklum ensures seamless scalability and rapid feature deployment. Leveraging automation, intelligent process discovery, and user-driven research, we continue to enhance the platform, making it optimized, resilient, and future-ready.
