Vistara Board
Building a complete ecommerce SaaS platform that revolutionizes vision boarding by combining physical products with AI-powered digital creation tools and seamless print-on-demand fulfillment.
The Vision
The client had a powerful vision: merge the tactile, motivational experience of physical vision boards with the convenience and intelligence of digital creation tools. They wanted to create an ecommerce SaaS platform where users could design personalized vision boards online, powered by AI, and have them printed and shipped as high-quality physical products.
The challenge was building a complete ecosystem from scratch — from AI-enhanced design tools to seamless ecommerce functionality, all while ensuring the platform could scale and integrate with print-on-demand services for global fulfillment.
