Every channel sells the same last unit.

Store, web, app and marketplace all quote the same figure, and it was accurate when the overnight job finished. We connect POS, OMS and warehouse systems into one availability model, so the order you accept is one you can fulfil.

Where it breaks

The customer finds the gap between your systems before you do.

They order online and the store has nothing to pick. They collect in store and the web still shows it available. Every seam in the estate eventually reaches someone holding a receipt.

Every channel quotes last night's stock

Web, app and marketplace all read a figure produced hours ago. Two of them sell the same unit, and the difference is settled later by a cancellation email nobody wanted to send.

What we do

We put one availability model behind every channel and reserve the unit at the moment an order is accepted.

The store cannot see what the web promised

Click and collect arrives as a printout or a queue in a system nobody watches during trade. Staff learn about the order when the customer is already standing at the counter.

What we do

We push orders into the store systems staff already use, with the pick, the location and the deadline attached.

Peak season is when the seams show

An estate that copes in March meets November. The batch window disappears, queues build behind the slowest connector, and the failure lands on the four days that carry the year.

What we do

We build event-driven flows that degrade in a defined way under load, tested against your peak profile rather than an average one.

How it works

Every channel keeps its platform. All of them read one number.

We normalise stock movements, reserve units as orders are accepted, route fulfilment to the best location and feed every channel from the same source.

Built on published standards

GS1 identifiers so a product means the same thing in every channel, EDI for vendors that trade that way, and marketplace connectors against the same model rather than one integration each.

In the cloud, and in the store

A store runtime keeps the till trading and the picks queuing when connectivity drops, then reconciles on return.

Monitored after go-live

Oversell rate, reservation age, channel feed lag and connector failures all land on one dashboard, so nobody has to survive the peak week blind.

Products

Products that arrive already connected

MetricMonitor and Easy-Invois read the same product, order and stock model, so what was promised, what shipped and what was invoiced all agree.

How we work

A unit is reserved before the order is confirmed.

Accepting the order and holding the unit are the same step. No job catches up afterwards. Two channels cannot commit the same unit, because the second one finds it already taken.

Parallel running is the default

It is included in every engagement. A new channel or connector runs beside the existing one until the numbers agree.

The store keeps trading when the link drops

The till sells and the picks queue locally, then reconcile when connectivity returns. A network problem should cost you a delay, never a sale.

Load testing uses your real peak

Load profiles come from your own worst week. Anything that degrades under pressure does so in a way you chose beforehand.

Recent work

One shelf, four channels, and a cancellation email

Anonymised at the client's request

A retailer ran POS in stores, a separate e-commerce platform and two marketplace connectors, synchronised overnight. Overselling was treated as a cost of doing business, and peak season was planned around avoiding it rather than fixing it.

We put one availability model behind every channel, moved the reservation into the moment the order is accepted, and pushed store picks into the systems staff already had open. The POS and e-commerce platforms were not replaced.

Questions

Answers before you ask

Every source maps into one canonical availability model rather than into each other, and every channel reads from it. Adding a marketplace becomes a connector against a model that already exists, instead of another synchronisation problem between two platforms.
