What aspedan advanced solutions does

Aspedan Advanced Solutions is a Toronto-based product studio that develops Shopify applications for commerce operations, founded in 2023 by four co-founders (Aziz Banihashemi as CEO, Lotfollah Nekooei as COO, Mohammad Akoochekian as CMO, and Shahram Foroozan as CTO) with more than 70 years of combined industry experience. The company builds three focused apps — Discount Prime (pricing and promotions with ten discount types, real-time conflict detection, and net-margin profit tracking), Prime MOQ & Order Limits (checkout-enforced minimum, maximum, and weight rules), and Prime Lock (access control and wholesale gating via Shopify Functions) — that share Shopify customer tags and collections so a merchant segment configured once behaves consistently across pricing, order limits, and access rules. The technical foundation is a Shopify Functions-based rule engine that validates pricing and order rules server-side at checkout, making enforcement bypass-proof relative to theme-only competitors, supplemented by a Custom GPT-powered assistant for campaign setup and troubleshooting.

The business model is subscription-based distribution through the Shopify App Store, augmented by a freemium tier (unlimited rules on free plans for Prime MOQ and Prime Lock) and an enterprise overlay offering 30-minute demo calls and quote-based pricing. Customer acquisition is primarily product-led through the Shopify marketplace, supported by content marketing (Medium blog, product blogs, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram) and SEO/ASO on the App Store. The target customers are split between direct-to-consumer Shopify merchants running promotional campaigns and B2B/wholesale merchants needing trade pricing, order validation, and buyer approval workflows. As of October 2025, Aspedan reported 1,000+ store installs, 2,000+ active campaigns, presence in 64+ countries, and a 5.0 Shopify merchant rating, with a 2026 roadmap to extend the same rule engine to WooCommerce, Wix, and BigCommerce. Outside its Shopify line, the company operates The Ultimate Kings as an independent limited-beta venture applying AI and gamification to leadership competency assessment in partnership with Sweden-based eLearnEver.

Core offering

Aspedan builds three Shopify apps that govern commerce operations: Discount Prime (a promotions engine covering ten discount types with real-time conflict detection and net-margin profit tracking), Prime MOQ & Order Limits (checkout-enforced rules for minimum, maximum, case-pack, value and weight limits), and Prime Lock (access control that hides prices, locks pages and gates wholesale access). All three apps share Shopify customer tags so merchants can compose integrated B2B and DTC workflows, and rules are validated server-side via Shopify Functions rather than theme code.

Direct peers

• Bold Commerce: Bold Commerce develops Bold Discounts and a suite of pricing, promotions and checkout apps for Shopify — directly competing with Aspedan's Discount Prime and Prime MOQ on the same merchant base.
• Hexta: Hexta builds Shopify apps including quantity breaks, tiered discounts and BOGO tools that overlap directly with Discount Prime's ten discount types and Prime MOQ's order limit functionality.
• HulkApps: HulkApps operates a large portfolio of Shopify apps covering discounts, pricing, order limits and wholesale — directly competing with all three of Aspedan's core Shopify apps in the same app store marketplace.
• Secomapp: Secomapp builds Shopify apps including affiliate, discount and pricing tools, targeting the same SMB Shopify merchant base as Aspedan and overlapping on B2B pricing and promotional workflows.
• StarApps: StarApps develops VolumeBoost, Easy Discount and other pricing/promotion Shopify apps that compete head-to-head with Discount Prime on tiered and BOGO discounts.

Broad incumbents

• Shopify: Shopify is the platform Aspedan builds on and the most important incumbent: native Shopify Discounts, Shopify B2B, password protection and checkout extensions could become direct competitors and shape App Store economics for Aspedan's apps.
• Privy: Privy is a leading conversion and email/SMS marketing platform for Shopify merchants — overlapping customer base and SMB Shopify GTM motion, with broader marketing-stack reach than Aspedan's pricing-focused suite.
