What retailers expect from their software

Stock differs in store, warehouse and web

A sold item still shows in the web shop and the customer orders in vain.

Till and web shop run separately

Prices and promotions are updated by hand in two places, errors are inevitable.

Returns and complaints go untracked

Why a return came, who answered it: nobody knows clearly.

The journey of an order: basket to door

  1. 1. From order to delivery

    An order starts in the basket, is confirmed by payment, prepared in the warehouse and reaches the customer by carrier.

  2. 2. Return and exchange journey

    Returns are unavoidable in retail; what matters is resolving them quickly and traceably.

  3. 3. Complaint handling

    A complaint is a chance to keep the customer; a lost e-mail or forgotten note damages trust.

  4. 4. Loyalty journey

    A loyalty programme carries the customer to the second and third purchase.

Who it is for

Specialty shop and boutique

For a single specialty shop or boutique, a till, stock, customer card and, if wanted, a small web shop are enough.

Online merchant

An online-only business has no shop but does have warehouse, packing and shipping.

Retail chain

In a chain with many branches the main challenge is consistency: the same item must appear in every branch with the same name, the same price and correct stock.

Direct-to-consumer brand

Businesses that make their own products and sell directly to customers manage web shop, on-site sales point and dealer channel together.

Retail segments

Fashion and apparel

In fashion one item splits into dozens of stock lines by size and colour, collections change with the season and return rates are high.

Food and delicatessen

In food retail some goods are weighed, some are packaged and every item has a best-before date.

Electronics shop

In electronics sales the item's serial number, warranty period and any service record matter.

Cosmetics and drugstore

Cosmetics and drugstores have many small items, brand ranges, frequent promotions and repeat customers.

Sports and outdoor

In sports and outdoor shops demand follows the season, equipment is rented and products such as bikes or skis go in for servicing.

Furniture and home decor

In furniture the product often arrives to order, is large and heavy, needs a delivery appointment and assembly, and the customer pays a deposit.

How we work

  1. 1. We listen

    We listen closely to your business, goals and current systems and pin down together what the real problem is.

  2. 2. We plan

    We present scope, timeline and budget in writing, so what will and will not be done is clear from the start.

  3. 3. We design

    We show you the screens and flow before coding and proceed with your approval.

  4. 4. We build

    Not a ready-made template: we code it from scratch for you and share progress regularly.

  5. 5. We test

    We try every page and action in real use and check speed, security and appearance on all devices.

  6. 6. We launch and support

    We put your project live, train your team and then keep up updates, backups and technical support.

We bring your project to life: one country or the whole world

One country

We set the project up for a single market: local language, currency, tax rules and search settings.

Several countries

Each country gets its own address, language and content, so visitors see the right language in their own market.

The whole world

We serve in every language in the world; we can open your project globally, multilingual and multi-currency.

Why Globalsoft

We stay with you after launch

We do not disappear after go-live: maintenance, updates, backups and 24/7 monitoring keep your system running.

World-class frontend

Your interfaces are designed and coded to the level of the best global products: fast, accessible and flawless on every screen.

Meticulous in every detail

Code review, testing and quality control are standard on every project; we skip no technical or visual detail.

Top-tier security

Security comes first in design: encryption, access control, regular security testing and data protection are built in from the start.

Speed and performance

Your pages load fast; performance is measured and continuously improved for user experience and search ranking.

Data, roles and security

Data protection

Retail collects customer names, addresses, e-mails and purchase history.

Roles and activity log

In a shop the cashier, stock clerk, branch manager and accounting do different jobs.

Payments and invoicing

Retail uses cash, card, pay-by-invoice and online payment side by side.

Hosting and backup

If the till stops, sales stop; if the web shop is down, orders are lost.

Multilingual use

In the UK a customer may shop in German, French, Italian or English.

Integrations

Most retailers already have an accounting program, a payment provider, a carrier and sometimes a marketplace account.

Frequently asked questions

Does it connect to a payment terminal?

It depends on the interface the terminal offers; it is assessed separately and stated in writing in the quote.

Are size and colour variants managed?

Yes; each variant can have its own barcode, stock and price.

Is the stock of several shops shown separately?

Yes; balance per shop and warehouse and total stock are seen together.

Does it connect to the existing shop stock?

Yes; web shop and till draw on the same stock source.

Are shop and web orders seen together?

Yes; they appear in one list with channel information and can be filtered.

Can the software work with UK accounting packages?

Yes. We can connect it to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, or provide clean exports for your accountant.

Will you quote in pounds sterling?

Yes. Every quote is in GBP and states clearly what is and is not included.
