We map where stock, orders and customer data currently move between systems by hand — POS, e-commerce platform, inventory, accounting — then connect and automate those handoffs so everything stays in sync without manual re-entry. Every engagement starts with a free diagnostic Sit-Down before we recommend anything.
Yes — that’s most of what we do for retailers. We’re platform-agnostic: Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, marketplace channels, warehouse and ERP systems, and accounting platforms like Xero or MYOB. The goal is one source of truth for stock and orders, syncing in real time across every channel you sell on.
Usually not. Most retail stacks don’t need replacing — they need connecting. We integrate what’s already working and only recommend replacing a system when it’s a genuine bottleneck. Either way, you own everything we build and we’ll tell you honestly which is which.
It depends on scope, which is why we scope first. Quick wins — a single integration, an order-processing automation — typically land within a few weeks. Larger builds are staged so your trading is never interrupted: each stage goes live and starts paying for itself before the next one begins.
Every engagement starts with the free Sit-Down. From there, most work runs either as a fixed-scope build — priced and timelined before we start — or as an ongoing arrangement with our team embedded alongside yours. You own everything we build, and there are no lock-in contracts: if we’re not delivering, you walk.
Security is designed in from the start, not patched on later. Least-privilege system access, secure credential handling, Australian data residency where required, and clear data-handling agreements are standard practice — we work with clients in banking and government, so retail data sits comfortably inside the same discipline.
