Mydear — Building and Operating "SalonCoop," a Referral-Only Beauty E-Commerce Site

Challenge

Mydear needed a mechanism to offer a wide range of beauty products online to its partner salons and beauty professionals. Rather than being open to the public, the site needed to be limited to members (referral-only), while still clearly presenting products across many brands and categories, providing a solid purchasing experience (search, favorites, cart, etc.), and remaining stable to operate over the long term.

Solution & Team

Miichisoft built "SalonCoop," a fully referral-only beauty products shopping site, on AWS using the EC-CUBE e-commerce platform as its base. It provides e-commerce features such as category-based product listings (hair color, treatments, shampoo, cosmetics, tools, etc.), keyword search, favorites, a cart, member registration/login, and contact forms. After launch, we have continued to support production environment operations and maintenance (infrastructure, email delivery, SSL, etc.), sustaining stable operation.

Team: A Miichisoft development team (about 3 members) was responsible for everything from EC-CUBE-based site construction through production operations and maintenance. Initial build: about 4 months; cumulative total: about 10 person-months (including construction plus operations and maintenance).
Period: Since 2022 (initial build about 4 months, followed by ongoing operations and maintenance)
Engagement: Project-based
