Retail

Software for multi-channel retail — EPOS, stock, fulfilment and the integrations between commerce platforms and the back-office systems that keep them honest.

What we know about retail

Retail systems live at the seams. EPOS at the till, e-commerce online, stock in the warehouse, accounts in the back office — and every one of them holding its own version of the truth. The work is rarely a new system. It's the integration layer that makes them agree.

We've built the connective tissue: stock that reconciles between the floor and the channel, order pipelines that survive a Friday afternoon spike, returns workflows that don't lose the customer or the audit trail. SOAP, REST, GraphQL, message queues, ETL — whatever the existing systems already speak.

Retail's other constant is legacy: an EPOS platform older than the people using it, a stock system written in classic ASP, a finance pipeline that runs on a Windows scheduled task someone set up in 2009. We move those forward incrementally — without taking the shop down to do it.

Phones on both sides of the counter: customer-facing apps for loyalty, order-ahead, store-locator and click-and-collect, plus in-store assistant apps that put live stock, price overrides and a fulfilment lookup in a colleague's hand. Capacitor-based iOS / Android with a shared codebase against the same integration layer that already drives the web side.

Anonymised, because we have to be. The kind of system, for the kind of business, and what it had to do.


05  /  Questions

Common questions, answered plainly.

01 Do you build EPOS systems from scratch?
Rarely. Most retailers already have an EPOS that mostly works — the value is usually in integration, modernisation and adding the channels and reporting around it, not in replacing the till.
02 What e-commerce platforms have you integrated with?
We work platform-agnostic — the integration patterns are the same whether the storefront is Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce or a bespoke build. The interesting work is the connection back to stock, EPOS and finance.
03 Can you handle high-volume order pipelines?
Yes. We design order pipelines around message queues and idempotent processing — built to survive spikes, retry cleanly on failure, and give the operations team real-time visibility.
04 Can you modernise a legacy retail system without taking the shop down?
Yes. We move older .NET, classic ASP and SQL retail systems forward incrementally — wrapping them in modern APIs, adding channels alongside, replacing pieces one at a time.
05 Are you UK-based?
Yes, we operate from Scotland and work with UK retailers.
