Project Overview

Client Background

A multi-location retailer selling through Shopify alongside an in-store point-of-sale system, with inventory frequently falling out of sync between channels.

Business Goals

Automate inventory reconciliation across locations and prevent overselling on high-demand products.

Project Scope

A private Shopify app with a custom merchant-facing dashboard and scheduled sync jobs against the store's POS system.

The Challenge

Inventory counts were updated manually between the in-store POS system and Shopify, leading to overselling and stockouts that went unnoticed until customers complained.

The Solution

We built a private Shopify app that syncs inventory levels on a scheduled basis, flags discrepancies for manual review, and gives staff a simple dashboard to see sync status without digging through spreadsheets.
