Project summary
What did we solve?
A sync layer that equalises warehouse, store and marketplace stock within seconds; it eliminated out-of-stock sales risk.
Out-of-stock items were selling on the marketplace; returns and penalty costs were rising.
Each sprint ended with a working slice; decisions were made on data, not guesses. The same model can be adapted to your operation.
