Commerce Platform

E-Commerce That Works for Your Business

From simple online shops to full trade platforms. Whether you need to sell 20 products or manage stock across multiple branches with trade accounts — we build the right solution for your business, not a Shopify theme with your logo on it.

Live Demos

We don’t do mockups. Browse real stores, add products to cart, test the checkout.

Shop Demo

Live

Simple Online Store

A clean, fast storefront with product catalogue, cart, Stripe checkout, and customer accounts. Sub-100ms page loads. The kind of shop most small businesses need.

Commerce Demo

Live

Commerce Platform

Shop

A Proper Online Store

Everything a small business needs to sell online. Your own branded storefront with a dashboard to manage it yourself — no Shopify subscription, no platform fees on your sales.

Product Catalogue

Add products, set variants and pricing, organise into categories. Manage it all from a simple dashboard — no developer needed for day-to-day updates.

Stripe Checkout

Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay built in. Your customers pay securely, you get the money at standard Stripe rates — no extra platform fees on top.

Customer Accounts

Customers create accounts, save addresses, and track their orders. You see their purchase history and can manage everything from the dashboard.

Orders & Fulfilment

Every order lands in your dashboard. Mark as shipped, send tracking info, handle returns — a straightforward workflow for getting orders out the door.

Your Brand, Your Domain

A fast, custom-designed storefront on your own domain. Not a template — a site designed to match your business, built for speed and SEO.

Discount Codes

Create promotions, seasonal discounts, or loyalty codes. Set rules for minimum spend, specific products, or date ranges — all from the dashboard.

Commerce

When Your Business Needs More Than a Shop

Everything in Shop, plus the tools trade and wholesale businesses actually need — multi-branch stock, POS, trade accounts, and a back-office system that runs your entire operation.

01

Multi-Branch Inventory

Real-time stock visibility across every location. Your customers see what’s available at each branch — no more phone calls asking “have you got this in Southend?”

02

Point of Sale

Sell in-store and online from the same system. POS runs in a browser on your own tablet or till PC — no proprietary hardware, no per-location fees.

03

Trade Accounts & Credit Terms

Let approved trade customers order on account with monthly invoicing. Set different pricing for different customer tiers — automatically applied at checkout.

04

CRM & Customer Management

Track leads, manage your sales pipeline, and see every customer’s history in one place. Know who your best customers are and what they buy.

05

Purchase Orders & Vendors

Manage your supply chain. Create purchase orders, track deliveries, set reorder points. Your stock levels update automatically when goods arrive.

Performance

Fast Enough to Prove It

A slow store loses customers — 1 in 4 people leave after 4 seconds. We built a live speed test into the demo so you can see for yourself. Our platform loads faster than Shopify or Squarespace. Don't take our word for it — run the test.

Room to Grow

One System Instead of Ten

Our base platform uses open-source software with no licensing fees. When your business is ready for more, an Enterprise upgrade unlocks a complete business suite — replacing the patchwork of separate tools most companies outgrow.

Enterprise is priced per user and includes every module — not per app. Get in touch for pricing based on your team size.

Included in the base platform

Open-source, no licensing fees

Inventory & warehouse management (multi-location, routes, stock tracking)
CRM (pipeline, leads, contacts, deals)
Point of sale (multi-cashier, loyalty, offline mode)
Sales orders & basic invoicing
Purchase orders & vendor management
Manufacturing (BOMs, work orders, subcontracting)

Available with Enterprise add-on

Per-user licensing — replaces your entire software stack

Full accounting & tax reports
Bank reconciliation
Warehouse barcode scanning
Helpdesk & ticketing
Advanced planning & scheduling
Quality control
Field service management
Marketing automation
Timesheets & approvals
Studio (visual customiser)

Instead of paying separately for QuickBooks, Salesforce, Asana, and a helpdesk tool — Enterprise gives you all of it in one integrated system. For a team of 20, that could replace over £40,000/yr in separate subscriptions.
