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.
The Solution
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."
