The retailer that owns their data stack owns their margin.
We build SaaS platforms for retail businesses and retail tech startups — inventory management, multi-location POS analytics, supplier management, and the pricing and merchandising tools that protect margin at scale. Fixed scope, fixed price.
You're running 8 locations on Lightspeed and your inventory data is a patchwork of exports and reconciliation spreadsheets. The SaaS that unifies your inventory, pricing, and supplier data is worth more than another person in the back office.
Multi-location retail has a data fragmentation problem that gets worse with every location added. POS data lives in Lightspeed, Shopify, or Square — isolated per location. Supplier invoices arrive by email. Inventory counts are done manually on clipboards. Pricing decisions are made based on gut feel and a quarterly review of the margin report. By the time you know you have a shrinkage problem at Location 4 or a supplier cost increase that wiped out the margin on your best SKU, the damage has been done.
The tools that address parts of this — Cin7, TradeGecko, Brightpearl for inventory; NetSuite for ERP — are either designed for e-commerce warehouses rather than physical retail locations, or enterprise tools with six-figure implementation costs and year-long deployment timelines.
The retail operators and retail tech founders who've built something better than what exists for their specific retail category — specialty food, outdoor gear, independent pharmacy, collectibles, pet supply — have found a market. Every operator in that category has the same problem and the same tooling gap.
A retail operations SaaS where inventory, pricing, supplier orders, and location performance flow through one platform — so you manage margins by decision instead of by discovery.
Multi-location inventory management
SKU-level stock per location, transfers between locations, receiving workflow, and cycle count tools. Low-stock and out-of-stock alerts per location.
POS integration and sales analytics
Lightspeed, Square, or Shopify POS data aggregated across all locations — sales by SKU, by category, by location, by period — in one view with the comparison metrics managers need.
Supplier and purchase order management
Supplier catalogue, cost pricing, PO creation and approval, receiving, and invoice matching. Landed cost calculation with freight and duty.
Pricing and margin management
SKU-level margin calculator with cost, retail price, and contribution margin. Price change tools with location-specific override, and margin floor alerts before a pricing decision is confirmed.
Shrinkage and loss prevention analytics
Variance between received inventory, sold inventory, and counted inventory — by SKU and by location — surfacing the SKUs and locations with the highest unexplained variance. Built on Next.js, Postgres, POS API integrations (Lightspeed, Shopify, Square), and Stripe for subscription billing if productising for other retailers.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Retail operators work on thin margins with tight capital. Technology investment has to show a clear ROI — reduced shrinkage, better purchasing efficiency, labour hours saved in back-office reconciliation. Fixed scope and fixed price makes the ROI calculation honest before the commitment.

Questions, answered.
POS systems emit inventory events (sales, voids, returns) via webhook or polling API. We process those events in real time and update the inventory ledger per SKU per location. Physical counts and transfers are entered directly into the platform and synced back to the POS.
Yes — the pricing model supports multiple price tiers per SKU (retail, wholesale, staff, loyalty) with location-specific override. The right price tier is applied based on the customer segment at checkout.
If you're building a retail tech SaaS product, white-label and multi-tenant are built in from day one. Each retail group gets their own data isolation, POS OAuth connections, and branded interface.
Multi-location inventory, POS integration, supplier management, and pricing tools typically runs $45k–$90k. Shrinkage analytics and e-commerce warehouse integration add scope. Fixed-price.
