01. Background
To better serve their corporate clients, Al Baraka Group sought a digital platform. It makes finding trade partners, updating profiles, and collaborating securely effortless across web and mobile.
Designed to meet banking-grade compliance, the platform provides scalable, structured, and approval-driven collaboration tools. Furthermore, it adheres to top-tier financial standards for all.
02. Challenges
Businesses operating in global trade face real friction every day. Without a unified platform to identify and verify trusted partners across borders, it was hard to remain connected.
As a result of this, they miss out on a lot of lucrative opportunities. Besides that, a lack of efficient engagement processes slows down operations and introduces risk.
For Al Baraka and its corporate customers, a structured B2B ecosystem was a non-negotiable one that could streamline interaction and establish trust at every touchpoint.
03. Requirements
- Dual-Platform Access – Secure mobile and web solution for global trade finance collaboration.
- Maker-Checker Approval – Two-step approval process across all profiles to ensure data authenticity and accuracy.
- Self-Service Onboarding – Automated onboarding with built-in verification to streamline new partner registration.
- Real-Time Chat – Secure chat and centralized portal for communication, content management, and user oversight.

Enterprise Solutions Delivered
“Working with Matech Co has felt less like hiring a vendor and more like adding the best team member we could ask for. Once we brought them on, things on our website properties started turning around. They knew how to clean up the backend and get our performance where it needed to be. They've been right beside us through every firedrill, and they've plugged into our project management so the day-to-day work gets handled well. I trust them to always have the site's best interest in mind, and they go beyond what most dev agencies do, helping us think ahead into new tech and AI instead of just keeping up. Dedicated is the word that I would use to describe them.”
