Ecommerce & Retail
We build ecommerce operations software: order and inventory systems, vendor and supplier automation, and the integrations that keep storefronts and back-office systems consistent. For McGrocer we built AI ordering that turns an incoming customer order into the corresponding vendor stock order automatically.
Most ecommerce problems are not storefront problems. The storefront works. What breaks is everything behind it: stock counts that drift, supplier orders placed by hand, and a growing gap between what the site says is available and what actually is.
That gap gets more expensive as volume rises, and it is usually the constraint on how much a business can sell rather than demand.
What tends to be hard
Manual supplier ordering
Someone reads incoming orders and places the matching stock orders. At low volume it is administration; at scale it becomes the bottleneck. This is exactly what we automated for McGrocer.
Inventory accuracy across channels
Selling in more than one place without a single source of truth produces oversells, which cost more than the margin on the sale.
Cross-border complexity
Currencies, duties, restricted items and shipping rules multiply quickly. McGrocer ships to more than 120 countries, so we have built for this scale of variation.
Reporting across disconnected systems
Platform, payments, fulfilment and accounting each hold part of the picture and none holds all of it.
FAQ
Ecommerce & Retail — questions
- Can you automate purchase ordering from incoming sales?
- Yes. For McGrocer, an incoming customer order triggers the corresponding stock order with UK vendors automatically, with inventory analysis behind it. Orders the system cannot resolve confidently are routed to a person rather than guessed at.
- Do you work with Shopify and other hosted platforms?
- Yes. Most of our ecommerce work sits alongside a hosted storefront rather than replacing it — the operations layer, integrations and automation behind the platform.
- Can you handle multi-currency and multi-country operations?
- Yes. Cross-border operations bring currency, duty, restricted-item and shipping-rule complexity that has to be modelled properly rather than handled case by case.
