How Real-Time Inventory Eliminated Stockouts During a 500-Unit Product Launch
A print shop launched a 500-unit product drop with zero oversells and zero stockouts - because inventory, orders, and production were connected.
Key findings
Oversells per launch: 30-50 units before we took over, 0 after.
Pre-launch prep time: 2+ hours before we took over, 0 (automated) after.
Emergency vendor orders: 2-3/month before we took over, 0 after.
Before Shop Titan
Inventory tracked in a spreadsheet updated once a day. Last product launch oversold 47 units.
Every Product Launch Was a Gamble
The shop ran monthly product drops for their brand clients. Every launch was stressful because inventory was never accurate.
Website + FileMaker - Deployed in 8 weeks from kickoff to go-live
We deployed the complete system with a focus on inventory. Stock tracks by style, color, and size in real time. When a customer orders on the storefront, blanks are allocated instantly. Out-of-stock items hide automatically.

The first product launch on the new system moved 500 units in 4 hours with zero oversells. Inventory updated in real time as orders came in. When a size sold out, it disappeared from the website automatically. Purchase orders for restocking were generated before the launch was even over.
"Our last launch before the system cost us $3,200 in refunds. Our first launch on the system was flawless. That is not an exaggeration - zero oversells, zero angry emails."
