Aroma Buro: transition from 1C to PayKit POS

About the Company

Aroma Buro is a Ukrainian brand of niche perfumes and home fragrances with its own retail stores and online sales. The rapid expansion of the retail network required accurate accounting, transparent analytics, and a stable IT infrastructure.

After joining an EBRD grant program, the company decided to abandon 1C, which no longer met security requirements and international standards. The key objective was to implement a modern cloud-based system that would unify sales, inventory, payments, and customer management within a single digital ecosystem.

Why PayKit

PayKit Cloud became the optimal choice as it fully met both the company’s business needs and the EBRD selection criteria:

• no Russian origin or components;

• compliance with international grant program requirements;

• cloud-based architecture with no need for local servers;

• sales, inventory, and financial accounting within one system;

• ability to connect acquiring services and loyalty programs without third-party solutions;

• readiness to scale alongside the growth of the retail network.

Solution Implementation

In December 2025, the PayKit team completed a full implementation of PayKit POS for Aroma Buro. As part of the project, inventory management was configured, acquiring was connected, and integration with the Loyallist loyalty application was launched.

The transition from 1C was carried out in a controlled manner without interrupting store operations. The Aroma Buro team received intuitive tools for daily work, while management gained a transparent, real-time view of business performance.

For the client, launching a loyalty program was also a key priority:

• customer identification both at the POS and on the website, via phone number or mobile app;

• bonus points accrual and redemption;

• personalized offers;

• a mobile app for customers;

• promotion and campaign planning.

What the Client Gained

After implementing PayKit Cloud, Aroma Buro achieved:

• full control over sales and inventory balances;

• a single system for managing retail locations and online channels;

• stable cashless payment processing;

• convenient tools for developing a loyalty program;

• reduced operational risks associated with outdated solutions;

• a solid technological foundation for further business growth.

A Result That Matters

The transition from 1C to PayKit Cloud became not only a fulfillment of EBRD requirements for Aroma Buro, but also a strategic step toward greater security, transparency, and manageability of the business. The company implemented a modern POS and accounting system that meets current market challenges and is ready to support future growth.

If you are planning to move away from 1C or are looking for a reliable alternative for retail, PayKit will help you make this transition quickly, securely, and without unnecessary risks.
