RetailSync Platform

The Challenge

The client, an established retail distributor with 15 distinct warehousing hubs, was plagued by stock synchronization errors. Their legacy inventory software relied on batch uploads scheduled twice daily. As a result, items sold out at one outlet still appeared in stock for online orders, causing high cancel rates.

During peak promotional campaigns, simultaneous item changes made at different depots created database collisions and data loss. The client required a unified dashboard system that could update shipping records in real time and handle network dropouts without losing local updates.

The Solution

Ankur Weldtech India designed and developed a unified inventory dashboard system utilizing a Next.js frontend, Docker containers, and a PostgreSQL database configuration. To resolve data collision blocks, we engineered a Conflict-Free Replicated Data Type (CRDT) sync engine using WebSockets. When a warehouse updates stock records, changes propagate immediately across all depots.

If a local warehouse loses internet connectivity, the system caches updates inside a local browser IndexedDB buffer. Once internet connectivity is restored, the CRDT engine resolves and merges updates automatically. On the dashboard panel, we built a responsive table showing active items, pending shipping boxes, and stock levels.

Key Results

With RetailSync Platform, the client resolved data synchronization bottlenecks across all warehousing hubs. Logistical leads manage orders with real-time stock visibility, reducing inventory overhead costs and boosting consumer trust.
