Fashion & Apparel
A boutique that sells online and over the counter is running one business and usually two systems. We build the platform where the web store, the shop counter and supplier purchasing all read and write the same size-level stock.
The last saree sells twice.
The web store and the billing counter each keep their own count, so the piece that just went out of the shop is still for sale online for as long as it takes somebody to notice. Then somebody reconciles by hand at night. At one shop that is annoying; at three, with a festival on, it is a refund queue and a customer who does not come back.
What a fashion platform has to get right
Stock at size level, shared
Not stock per product: stock per size and colour, in one pool that the storefront, the admin and the in-store counter all write to. A sale anywhere moves the same number.
A counter that is part of the platform
In-store billing on the same system rather than a separate POS you reconcile against. One customer, one order history, whichever way they bought.
Supplier purchasing
Purchase orders, goods received and cost tracking in the same place as sales, so margin is a number you can read rather than one you work out later.
GST on apparel slabs
Apparel sits across GST slabs by price point. Place of supply decides CGST and SGST or IGST, the slab follows the HSN code, and invoice serials run gapless through the financial year.
A checkout Indian shoppers finish
UPI first, cards and netbanking behind it, cash on delivery where your margins allow, and returns that produce a credit note rather than a WhatsApp message.
Fast on a real phone
Most of your traffic is mobile on a patchy network. The store is built and measured for that, not for a designer's laptop on office wifi.
Built, and trading
Named, linked and live. We do not write an industry page for a sector we cannot show work in.
What buyers in this sector ask.
Not always, and we will tell you when it is not. It becomes worth it when the commission on a good month is real money, when the shop counter and the website disagree often enough to cost you customers, or when something about how you sell — size-level stock, supplier purchasing, a rental or alteration flow — is not something the platform will ever do.
Yes, and that is usually the point. The counter runs on the same platform as the web store rather than on a separate POS you reconcile against at night. Lia Fashion runs exactly this way.
Handled as first-class flows, because in apparel they are not exceptions. A return puts the size back into the same pool the storefront reads, and produces a credit note rather than a manual adjustment somebody has to remember.
For a storefront, admin and counter on one stock pool, typically three to five months depending on how much has to connect to what you already run. You get a costed plan before you commit, and we would rather lose the enquiry than quote a number we know will move.
Tell us what your counter and your website disagree about.
Bring one product that sells both ways and we will map how the stock, the billing and the purchasing would sit on one platform.
