Crealive

What Crealive does

Crealive is a privately held custom e-commerce software development studio founded in 2005 and headquartered in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey. The company builds bespoke e-commerce infrastructure, storefronts, order management systems, and supporting CRM, CMS, and ERP software for enterprise and mid-market clients, primarily in Turkey. Its core platform is organized around three proprietary products: Crealive Core (the foundational e-commerce infrastructure layer), Crealive StoreFront (a configurable storefront product), and an Order Management System (OMS) covering order entry through fulfillment across multiple channels and marketplaces. The technology stack is intentionally platform-agnostic and supports omnichannel and headless commerce architectures, using Laravel, PHP, Phalcon, Go, Next.js, React, JavaScript, TypeScript, and jQuery, with integration connectors to payment systems, cargo providers, ERP, CRM, accounting, warehouse, and marketing systems via API, web services, or file-based exchange.

Crealive employs between 11 and 50 people and operates a project-based, consultative sales model with no public pricing. Acquisition is driven primarily by direct outreach, blog content marketing, and showcase of client work, with named clients including Turkish jewelry and retail brands (Zen Pırlanta, Altınbaş, Assos Pırlanta, D Diamond, Roberto Bravo, Zuhal Müzik, Melis, Blue Diamond, Ağa Kulche, Gulaylar, Portakal Bahçem) plus non-profit engagements such as UNICEF Turkey. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors, and operates without named executive leadership in the source data. Crealive claims hundreds of projects delivered across B2C, B2B, non-profit, and mobile sectors over its 20-year history, and positions itself as a long-term partner providing end-to-end custom commerce infrastructure rather than a SaaS reseller.
