Retail
Batch codes, shades
and a shelf life.
Every lipstick carries a batch number and a date it stops being sellable, and the testers go faster than the stock. We build the systems that track it and keep the shop's tech locked down.

Sound familiar?
Small bottles, a lot to keep track of
Forty shades of one foundation. Half of them go out of date before they sell.
- Nobody can say which foundations expire next month, so they're found on the shelf after they've turned.
- A supplier recalls a batch and you go through every drawer by hand, reading tiny codes.
- Testers get counted as stock, so the system thinks you've three of a shade that's sold out.
- The loyalty scheme keeps birthdays, skin types and phone numbers in a spreadsheet anyone in the shop can open.
- A discount code meant for one creator gets shared far and wide, and nobody notices until the margin's gone.

An agent watching discount-code use that tells you when a single creator's code starts turning up everywhere.
Read morePlatform Migration
Off a builder that fumbles shade variants and onto a store where every shade has its own stock and swatch.
Read moreCompliance Management
How you handle customer data, written down and checked, so a privacy question gets an answer instead of a shrug.

How many shades are you carrying?
Plus the systems you use to count them, and where the loyalty data lives.
We'll tell you what we'd tighten first. Pricing comes after, worked out for your counter alone, and we don't do bundles.
