Retail and E-commerce: A store that copes with its busiest day
We build, move and run the platforms behind online stores and retail chains, and check the cloud bill so the busy days do not catch you out.
What we build for retailers
Storefronts that scale with every sale, so peak days run like any other.
Tills, shelves and the website share one live stock count.
Every pick, pack and dispatch is scanned and seen the moment it happens.
Every order is queued, confirmed and kept, whatever the volume.
Points and offers follow each shopper, in store and online.
Past sales and seasons show what will sell next, and where.
Sale days slowed the site down. Now it grows with the crowd.
Shelves were empty while the website said in stock. With it, both agree.
Pickers hunted the floor for stock. With it, every scan shows where it is.
Orders went missing at peak times. Now every order is kept safe.
Store points never showed up online. With it, they follow the shopper.
Stock ran out before festivals. With it, past sales show what to order.

Questions
Will the store hold up on our biggest sales day?
We size it for the peak you describe, test it before the day and run it with named engineers. We agree with you what to measure, and we promise no uptime figure.
Can you move our store without closing it?
Yes. We move it in tested waves with a way back, and switch over at a quiet hour you choose.
Who owns the cloud accounts?
You do. We work through roles you create and can revoke, and every action is logged in your own account.
