Case Study: ALDO improves the in-store shopping experience with Amazon Web Services

ALDO Uses AWS AppSync to Improve Shopping Experience of Footwear Customers

ALDO, the global footwear retailer, needed to improve its in-store mobile app after outages and slow API responses were frustrating shoppers and causing lost sales opportunities. The app used multiple technologies across its API and database layers, making failures hard to diagnose and delaying shoe retrievals for customers.

ALDO migrated to Amazon Web Services and used AWS AppSync, along with AWS CloudFormation, to build a real-time GraphQL API layer and standardize data access across applications. With Amazon Web Services, ALDO eliminated outages in the mobile app, enabled faster try-on requests, and cut application development time from 6–12 months to less than 3 months, improving both the customer experience and delivery speed.
