Kalicr

What Kalicr does

Kalicr is a Costa Rican software engineering firm specializing in custom Adobe Magento e-commerce development for enterprise retailers. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Escazú/San José, the company delivers end-to-end commerce implementations covering business analysis, technology development, digital marketing, and strategy consulting. Its core technology stack is Adobe Magento Commerce Cloud and Open Source, supported by PHP, Laravel, MySQL/MariaDB on AWS, with integration layers to SAP and Oracle ERP, BAC payment gateways, SINPE Móvil, and local shipping providers (Correos de Costa Rica, Moovin, Yo Voy). The company has built more than 30 online stores and completed over 50 system integrations, including deployments handling 150,000+ SKUs and 1,000+ concurrent visits per minute.

The business model is professional services: project-based engagements priced via quote rather than published rates, with ongoing maintenance and continuous improvement contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by the company website, detailed client case studies, and direct consultation. Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Costa Rican enterprise retailers including Almacenes El Rey, EPA, Ekono, Capris, La Artística, Coopelesca, Punto Favorito, Ferretería Elky, Compufax, and the Grupo Mayoreo wholesale businesses (Cofersa, Febeca, Sillaca). Geographic footprint is primarily Costa Rica, with multi-country deliveries to Guatemala, El Salvador, and Venezuela via the EPA engagement. AI capabilities are delivered through third-party integrations (Adobe Sensei, ChatGPT, AI image search, Doofinder/Algolia/ElasticSearch) rather than proprietary models.
