Who we work with

Retail businesses at every scale and format

Retail software covers an enormous range — independent stores, multi-site chains, omnichannel brands, and franchise operators all need fundamentally different systems. We've built for all of them.

Independent & Multi-site Retailers

Brick-and-mortar retailers — from single stores to 20-location chains — who have outgrown their off-the-shelf POS and need real-time inventory visibility, customer loyalty, and end-of-day reconciliation that actually works.

Omnichannel Retail Groups

Brands with physical stores and an online presence who need unified stock, a single customer record across all channels, and click-and-collect or ship-from-store workflows — without duct-taping three separate platforms together.

Franchise & Chain Operators

Multi-location franchise businesses and chain retailers who need central reporting, standardised POS, and head office visibility into per-store sales, stock, and staff performance — without each location running its own disconnected system.

Retail Technology Startups

Founders building the next generation of retail SaaS — POS platforms, loyalty engines, inventory tools, or retail analytics products — who need an experienced engineering team to take their product from concept to production.

Why retailers come to us

When stock, loyalty, and channel data live in separate systems

Off-the-shelf POS and inventory tools work up to a point. When your omnichannel workflows, multi-location reporting, or loyalty programme outgrow what generic platforms allow — that is the point to build custom.

The Challenge

Stock-outs on fast movers while overstock sits on shelves — no automated reorder points

How We Solve It

We build inventory systems that track real-time stock levels across all locations, set SKU-level reorder points based on sell-through rate and supplier lead time, and generate automated purchase orders — so you replenish fast movers before you lose the sale and stop over-buying slow ones.

The Challenge

No single view of inventory across locations — each POS terminal is an island

How We Solve It

We build central stock management platforms that give head office and store managers a live view of on-hand, on-order, and in-transit quantities across every location and warehouse — with inter-store transfer workflows when one site has surplus another needs.

The Challenge

Loyalty points in one system, purchase history in another — staff cannot see the full customer picture at the till

How We Solve It

We build unified customer profiles that consolidate transaction history, loyalty balance, tier status, and communication preferences into a single record — surfaced at the POS so your team can personalise every interaction and apply rewards in the same transaction.

The Challenge

End-of-day reconciliation done manually across multiple payment terminals and cash drawers

How We Solve It

We build automated till reconciliation workflows that pull expected sales totals from the POS, cross-reference against terminal settlements and cash-up counts, and flag variances for manager review — turning a 45-minute manual process into a two-minute exception check.

The Challenge

Markdown decisions made on gut feel, not days-on-hand and sell-through rate data

How We Solve It

We build retail analytics dashboards that surface sell-through rate, days-on-hand, and forward cover by SKU, category, and location — giving buyers the data to time markdowns before stock becomes unshiftable rather than after the season ends.

The Challenge

No click-and-collect capability despite customer demand for BOPIS

How We Solve It

We build buy-online-pick-up-in-store workflows — from web order capture and real-time in-store stock reservation, through to staff pick-list generation and customer-ready SMS notification — integrated with your existing POS so there is no double-handling of orders.

What we build

Systems We Build for Retail Businesses

Every system type below we've designed, built, and delivered for real retailers — from single-store POS to full omnichannel management platforms.

Custom POS built for your store format — barcode scanning, split payments, returns, staff login, end-of-day reports, and loyalty redemption in a single interface. Cloud-synced across all locations with offline mode for connectivity dropouts.

Real-time stock tracking across stores, warehouses, and online channels — with SKU-level reorder points, automated purchase orders, inter-store transfers, goods-received workflows, and shrinkage reporting.

Points-based and tier loyalty programmes, digital stamp cards, personalised offer distribution, and post-purchase email flows — with a unified customer profile that works across in-store POS, ecommerce, and mobile app.

Unified order routing across online, in-store, and click-and-collect channels — with real-time stock reservation, pick-list generation, carrier integration, and customer-facing order tracking from placement to collection or delivery.

Sales performance dashboards by store, category, and SKU — with sell-through rate, days-on-hand, like-for-like comparisons, basket analysis, and forward cover reports so buyers and ops teams can act before problems become write-offs.

Rota scheduling, shift management, staff performance reporting, and role-based access controls — integrated with the POS so manager overrides, void permissions, and till access are managed from one place.

Compliance & security

Built for retail regulatory requirements from the first sprint

PCI-DSS payment security, GDPR customer data handling, and consumer returns law compliance are designed into the architecture from day one — not bolted on before your first audit.

PCI-DSS Payment Security

Card payment data handled to PCI-DSS Level 1 requirements — tokenised card processing, no raw PAN storage, network segmentation between POS and payment terminals, and evidence packs for your annual QSA assessment.

GDPR & Customer Data Privacy

Loyalty programme and customer data managed with GDPR consent records, marketing opt-in/opt-out workflows, right-to-erasure implementation, and data minimisation — so your CRM does not become a compliance liability.

Inventory Audit & Tax Compliance

Stock valuation methods (FIFO, AVCO) applied consistently for audit purposes. VAT and sales tax applied at the correct rate by product category, jurisdiction, and channel — with reconciliation reports for your accountant and HMRC submissions.

Consumer Protection & Returns Law

Returns, refunds, and exchange workflows built to the Consumer Rights Act and equivalent legislation in your operating markets — with refund audit trails, restocking logic, and original payment method reversal.

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1)

Customer-facing web and kiosk interfaces built to WCAG 2.1 AA — colour contrast, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and alt text for product imagery — reducing legal exposure in markets with digital accessibility legislation.

Role-based Access & Audit Trails

Staff, supervisors, and managers each see only the POS functions, reports, and data their role requires. Every void, override, discount, and refund logged with the user, timestamp, and authorising manager — for loss prevention and internal audit.

How we work with retail clients

From operations discovery to a platform your store staff use every day

Week 1–2

Retail Operations & Systems Discovery

We map your current POS, inventory, loyalty, and reporting systems — along with your store formats, stock workflows, and channel mix. Gaps and integration points identified before a line of code is written.

Week 3–4

UX Design & Integration Architecture

Staff-facing POS interfaces, manager dashboards, and customer-facing touchpoints designed and reviewed with your team. Integration architecture with existing ERP, accounting, ecommerce, and payment systems defined.

Weeks 5–N

Agile Module Development

Retail modules built in two-week sprints — tested with realistic sales and stock scenarios at each cycle. PCI-DSS controls, audit logging, and role-based access built in from sprint one, not retrofitted before launch.

Final 2 weeks

Store Testing & Go-Live

End-to-end testing with real payment terminals and barcode scanners. Parallel running alongside existing systems where possible. Phased rollout across locations with a defined go-live sequence and rollback plan.

Technologies we use for retail software

React Native, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Square, Redis, AWS, and Socket.io — the stack that powers real-time inventory sync, cloud POS with offline mode, loyalty engines, and omnichannel order management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We build cloud-based and hybrid POS systems designed for your specific store format — whether that is fashion with size/colour variants, food with weighted items, or electronics with serial number tracking. Custom POS includes barcode scanning, multi-tender (card, cash, voucher), returns, end-of-day reconciliation, staff login, and manager overrides. We also build offline mode so the system keeps taking sales if the internet drops.

Yes. We build integrations with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, and custom ERP systems — syncing sales, stock movements, purchase orders, and customer data so your finance team is not re-entering data manually. Integration scope is assessed during discovery and scoped before development starts.

Yes. We build points-based and tier loyalty programmes, digital stamp cards, and referral schemes — with a unified customer profile that works across your in-store POS, ecommerce site, and mobile app. Loyalty redemption is handled in the same POS transaction as the sale, with no manual processing step.

A focused build — such as a custom POS, an inventory management system, or a loyalty platform — typically takes 10–16 weeks. A full retail management suite covering POS, inventory, loyalty, and analytics takes 20–32 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of integrations, locations, and bespoke workflows. We provide a fixed-price estimate and timeline after a free scoping call.

Yes. Payment card data is handled to PCI-DSS requirements — we use tokenised payment processing so raw card numbers never touch our systems. Customer loyalty and marketing data is managed with GDPR consent records, marketing opt-in/opt-out workflows, and right-to-erasure implementation. We provide compliance documentation as part of the project delivery.

A custom POS or inventory management system starts from $30,000–$50,000. A loyalty platform or omnichannel order management system typically ranges from $40,000–$80,000. A full retail management suite covering POS, inventory, loyalty, analytics, and integrations starts from $100,000. We provide a fixed-price estimate after a free scoping call — no hidden costs once the scope is agreed.
