01·The problem

What wasn't working.

The shop ran on an ageing WordPress/WooCommerce store that had drifted away from the till system. Stock counts on the website and at the counter were never the same. Listings were thin — product codes, a line of spec, a photo — and buried in search. Adding new products was a manual slog: copy from the supplier sheet, rewrite, upload, check.

The shop was selling well in-store but online had stalled at about £2,000 a year. Not because the demand wasn't there — because the website couldn't be kept up-to-date fast enough to be worth buying from.

02·The approach

What we built.

01

One stock ledger, two fronts

We replaced the old stack with a cloud POS that runs both the till and the website off a single product database. What sells in-store updates online instantly; what sells online drops out of the in-store stock. No more reconciling.

02

AI-powered listing pipeline

Supplier product feeds now pass through a Claude-based pipeline that rewrites every listing into proper SEO-aware copy — benefits, use cases, fit notes — in the shop's own voice. A product that would have taken 20 minutes to list properly now takes less than a minute.

03

Room to grow

The system handles multi-channel fulfilment, click-and-collect, and seasonal range changes without a rebuild. The shop can add lines, suppliers, or locations and the platform scales with them.

03·The outcome

What changed.

Online sales crossed £200,000 in the first year on the new platform — a 100× lift from the old setup. More importantly the daily admin load dropped: the owner is no longer spending evenings updating listings, and the weekly stock reconciliation that used to eat hours is gone.

The shop now uses its website as a real second channel. Range changes and price updates happen once, propagate everywhere, and new stock is live within the day it arrives.
