Problem
Calculating and distributing stock quickly, accurately and in an optimised way across logistics centres, warehouses and physical stores is a problem of high algorithmic complexity, with a direct impact on conversion, profit margins and the logistics efficiency of the entire ecommerce operation. The challenge was to design a solution able to do this in a high-demand, global-scale environment, adjusting in real time to changing conditions.
Solution
Working with a world-leading textile retailer, we developed part of the high-performance platform responsible for managing stock distribution on its online platform: a critical piece of high algorithmic complexity. We built a highly efficient and configurable microservices stack that optimises stock allocation in real time, adjusting dynamically to demand, availability and logistics cost.
Results
Stock management adapted, with lower distribution costs.
Improved availability of products online.
More operational capabilities in stock distribution.
