Coming from its humble beginnings as an e-commerce store, a San Franciso-based thrift shop selling curated high-quality corsets and lingerie expanded to include two physical branches in the city. Initially, everything was seamless as they sold unique items, with each product design limited to one.
However, as the business grew, they acquired at least three quantities of some designs, which led to inventory problems. For instance, two corsets sold in the physical store were still listed as available online, causing online buyers to purchase items that were no longer in stock.
The situation unintentionally favored in-store shoppers and resulted in the cancellation of online orders, which frustrated their loyal online customers from outside the city and country.
In response to these challenges, the company sought our omnichannel order management software.
