Retail chain e-commerce sharing stock with the shops
An online store selling from the same stock the shops sell from.
- Shared catalogue and stock
- Per-branch allocation
- Click-and-collect
- Delivery scheduling
The problem
The website ran a separate catalogue and stock list. Online orders were accepted for items already sold in store, and the resulting cancellations damaged trust.
What we built
We connected the store to the branch stock position with allocation rules per branch, so online availability reflects what can actually be fulfilled.
