The challenge
A 22-store ethnic-wear chain had a web store that didn't know what its retail stores stocked. Customers were told 'out of stock' online while the physical store had 12 pieces.
Our approach
- Real-time inventory sync across web + 22 outlets.
- Click-and-collect with 2-hour same-day pickup.
- WhatsApp 'in-stock' alerts per outlet.
- Returns accepted at any outlet, refund auto-issued.
