Matches Fashion was a multi-brand luxury fashion retailer with a significant ecommerce presence. At the time of the project, digital channels accounted for more than 85% of its sales, following a substantial shift towards online retail over the preceding five years. Its studio operations played an important role in presenting products to customers, bringing together the information, imagery and video required to make each item ready for online sale.

Rapid digital growth was increasing the demands on Matches Fashion’s studio operations. Each new product needed to pass through multiple preparation stages before it could be sold online, creating a need for coordinated workflows and accessible product information. The retailer wanted an external development team that could work alongside its in-house specialists and match their technical capabilities. With the next seasonal peak just six weeks away, it set an ambitious deadline for a robust, flexible and production-ready solution.

One Beyond developed Studio Manager to coordinate the flow of new products through the studio and support their preparation for online sale. Working alongside Matches Fashion’s internal technology team, we created a spreadsheet-style interface capable of handling thousands of rows of product data. Multiple users could update and filter information simultaneously, with changes reflected in real time. The system made studio workflows more efficient, supported higher workloads as the business grew and helped teams get products online faster.
