Inventory that is not trusted
Stock shown online does not match stock in the warehouse, so the business over-sells or under-lists to stay safe.
E-commerce & digital commerce
The channel is the visible part. What determines whether it works is stock accuracy, pricing rules, order routing and fulfilment — which live in systems the storefront has to stay in step with.
The operating problem
Most commerce problems present as front-end problems and resolve as integration problems: inventory that is not real, prices that differ by channel, and orders that need a human before they can be fulfilled.
Stock shown online does not match stock in the warehouse, so the business over-sells or under-lists to stay safe.
B2B contract pricing, promotions and tax handling are maintained in more than one place and drift apart.
Every order touches a person before it reaches the ERP, which caps volume at whatever that person can process.
Accounts, approval limits, contract pricing and reordering are genuinely different, and a consumer storefront does not model them.
What we deliver
Catalogue, checkout, payment and post-purchase flows built for the market's actual payment and delivery conditions.
Account hierarchies, contract pricing, approval limits, quotes and reordering — the parts a consumer storefront does not have.
Multi-seller catalogue, onboarding, order splitting and settlement, where that is the right model.
Stock, pricing, customers and orders synchronized with the system of record rather than mirrored by hand.
Routing, allocation, fulfilment status and exception handling across channels and locations.
Payment methods, tax and currency handling appropriate to the markets being sold into.
Typical starting points
A distributor wants to move repeat B2B ordering off email and phone
A retailer is selling in more than one channel and stock is not reconciled
An existing store cannot support contract pricing or account approvals
Order volume has outgrown manual entry into the ERP
A new market needs different payment, tax or delivery handling
A marketplace model is being evaluated and needs a real feasibility read
Outcomes
Availability shown to customers reflects the warehouse, so the business stops padding for safety.
Orders reach fulfilment without re-keying, and volume stops being capped by manual processing.
Contract, promotional and channel pricing derive from one place instead of drifting apart.
Adding a product line, a location or a market is configuration rather than a project.
How we engage
Commerce work is staged around the operation, not the launch date. A storefront that goes live before fulfilment is ready creates a service problem, not a growth one.
Follow a real order end to end, including the exceptions and the manual steps.
Define catalogue, pricing, inventory and order-routing rules against how the business trades.
Build the integration to ERP, inventory and fulfilment before the storefront depends on it.
Go live on a bounded catalogue or segment and prove the operation carries it.
Add channels, markets and product lines once the flow is stable.
Where this applies
Planning, production visibility, inventory accuracy and the integration that keeps the plant and the ledger in step.
Order and shipment visibility, warehouse operations, fleet data and the customer-facing status that removes the phone calls.
Supply chain, distribution, traceability and administrative systems where accuracy and audit trail are not optional.
Delivery capacity, internal platforms and integration for organizations whose constraint is engineering time, not strategy.
Why Launch Soft Solutions
The connection to stock, pricing and the ledger is designed with the storefront, not after it.
Accounts, approvals and contract pricing are designed, not simulated with customer groups.
Payment methods, delivery expectations and tax handling are set by the market being sold into.
Related capabilities
Discovery, selection, implementation, optimization and integration across finance, supply chain and operations — with the platform chosen on fit, never assumed in advance.
APIs, data flows and the continued operation of what has been delivered, under explicit service ownership rather than informal goodwill.
Applications, portals, workflow tools and internal systems built where no packaged product matches how the business actually works.
Questions
Whichever fits. Platform-based is the usual answer for standard catalogue and checkout; custom is reserved for genuinely differentiated commerce logic.
Yes. Integration on an existing storefront is a common engagement and is often higher value than replacing the front end.
Yes. Account hierarchies, contract pricing, approval limits and reordering are designed as first-class requirements.
Payment methods, currency and tax handling are set by the markets you sell into and confirmed during design, not assumed.
Bring one real order and its exceptions. That conversation is usually more useful than a platform comparison.
