Amicolor — Multi-Store Management Platform
A centralised Next.js master platform built for a US school & district merchandise network — manages SANMAR product data, automates AI-driven logo placement on product images, applies dynamic color theming per school or district, and synchronises inventory and fundraising metrics across hundreds of Shopify stores.

The Challenge
The problem we set out to solve.
Districts and schools were managing individual Shopify storefronts manually with no central source of truth for SANMAR inventory — leading to stale stock levels, inconsistent branding and no mechanism for automated logo placement or cohesive color-matched product filtering across hundreds of unique storefronts.
Our Approach
How we approached it.
The architectural call was a master-repository pattern: one Next.js platform owning every SKU, with each Shopify store as a thin presentation layer downstream. From there we could automate the parts that were eating district time — logo placement and color theming — with AI doing the heavy lifting per upload.
What We Built
The features that made it work.
We built a Master Repository as the single source of truth for all SANMAR SKUs, variants and pricing, with nightly CRON-based inventory sync pushing updates to every connected Shopify store. An AI logo-placement engine detects image surface attributes and auto-overlays logos across every product variant. AI color extraction from uploaded logos auto-configures dynamic product filters and real-time fundraising meters per store.
