DERA for Retail & commerce
Orders, inventory and branches. Working from shared information
We develop systems connecting sales, inventory, procurement, branches and sales channels to accounts, with interfaces for staff and customers.
Who is it for?
Start with how you work
Retailers, branch networks, distributors and online merchants.
We understand handovers across teams and sites and identify repeated work and scattered information. Then we shape modules, interfaces and reporting with your team.

Frequently asked questions
About retail & commerce software development, customisation and support.
Can you connect an online store to branches?
We assess the store platform, interfaces and branch inventory and order-allocation rules.
Can partner or branch commissions be tailored?
Calculation rules and reconciliation reports can be developed around agreements and approved data.
Can you migrate existing products and customers?
We review formats, quality and duplicates and plan a trial migration and validation.
How does DERA start a retail & commerce software project?
We start with retailers, branch networks, distributors and online merchants to understand workflows, systems and challenges, then document scope, modules and interfaces before defining cost and timing.
Can the system be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. We review sales & point of sale, inventory & branches, procurement & supply with your team and tailor data, approvals, permissions and reports around agreed workflows.
Can you connect our existing tools?
We assess systems, data sources, interfaces and access before defining integration feasibility, migration and testing. Each connection depends on provider requirements and permissions.
What does development cost and how long does it take?
This depends on sales & point of sale and other scoped areas, sites, interfaces, integrations and migration. Assessment leads to a defined proposal, with phased delivery possible.
How can we use automation and AI?
Uses can include request and document summaries, procedure search and suggested task categorisation for inventory & branches. Data, access, human review and validation are defined before use.
Does the project include training and support?
Training, documentation, support, maintenance, coverage and response times are defined in the proposal, with workflow trials before launch.
