SCAYLE is our own eCommerce infrastructure, which we developed in-house and now offer as a licensed product to other eCommerce retailers who want to scale their business with the proven infrastructure of ABOUT YOU. Our first cloud product, BACKBONE, is the first eCommerce backend on the European market to take an API-first development approach to online retail. The infrastructure is highly flexible and designed for scalability helping retailers to enter new devices and markets easily. Moreover, it is also considerably more maintenance-efficient than other systems.

• We specialize in custom middleware implementations that connect SCAYLE to complex client environments.
• We pride ourselves on a short time-to-market and high technical excellence, ensuring our clients can utilize the SCAYLE ecosystem effectively and reliably.
