How Al Raya and PHILOSHOPIC are Reimagining Value in Saudi Arabia

At PHILOSHOPIC, we believe technology shouldn’t feel like “tech”. It should be a simple solution that works for retailers and, more importantly, for the people they serve.

Recently, we have been working alongside Al Raya during a pivotal moment in their history. As they transform from a legacy supermarket chain into Saudi Arabia’s leading discounter, the goal is to deliver outstanding value directly to consumers.

Our role was to help bring that value to life. Rather than just “tracking” customers, Al Raya’s first loyalty program – supported by SMASH – is about understanding how to better serve the community. By combining our technology and experience, we launched the Al Raya Club mobile app and SMASHeVouchers to make this new direction tangible for every shopper.

The Al Raya Club Experience

Powered by our SMASH framework, the mobile app is based on three pillars to ensure an intuitive experience:

  • Simple: Registration is effortless.
  • Exciting: Members get instant benefits from their first transaction. The modern design makes it easy to find the nearest store location, exclusive deals and discounts.
  • Connected: Al Raya engages and shares announcements directly through the app keeping consumers updated and building a more personal relationship.

This project follows an earlier implementation of SMASHeVouchers enabling Al Raya customers to add digital products to their transaction at the checkout, turning Al Raya into a one-stop seamless transaction destination.

Prepared for what’s next

For Al Raya, this wasn’t just about launching an app and eVouchers; it was about building a foundation for growth.

By moving to modern, AI-ready solutions, they now have the agility to respond to market trends and thrive in a competitive marketplace. It’s an investment in staying ahead of the curve.

Looking Ahead: One Team

PHILOSHOPERS and Al Raya teamed up to make this happen. We share their commitment to success and are grateful for the trust they have placed in us.

The journey doesn’t stop here, though. We are already working on bringing more value and choice to their consumers, specifically through integrated payments.

Stay tuned as there is much more to come!

🇸🇦 ZATCA – A Compliance Solution for the Customers in KSA

Compliance was a domain we never thought of entering. Our deep engagement with a large number of retailers and our DNA of being agile and data-driven, got us engaged into the initial consultative dialogue process with the then called GAZT (General Authority of Zakat and Tax). They were looking for ideas on how to turn each invoicing generating device, connected and monitored by the tax authority. Once the regulations specs were finalised some of our customers asked us to help them comply.

Our team joined forces with Greencore in Italy and quickly worked out the PHILOBROKER ZATCA eInvoicing compliance that turned out a success beyond expectation!

PHILOBROKER ZATCA eInvoicing compliance currently runs successfully for a diverse portfolio of brands across Saudi Arabia. This solution addresses the requirement for taxpayers in KSA to utilise a technical (E-Invoicing) system for creation, storage, and reporting of electronic invoices, in accordance with the ZATCA E-Invoicing regulations published on December 4, 2020, to the Authority. The primary goal of this solution is to ensure accurate reporting of valid invoices generated from transactions conducted at POS systems at one end. At the same time consumers can verify their validity of their receipt through the printed QR code.

Thanks to partnerships and integrations with global leaders such as Gilbarco Veeder-Root , NCR Voyix , RPS Turkey, and others – we are now helping among others 3 out of the top 10 Grocery & 4 out of the top 10 fuel retailers in KSA comply with ZATCA!
