The ePOS and Store Operations Problems Stok.ly Helps Solve
Your ePos is slow or outdated and holding you back
Retail teams need a fast, user friendly POS to serve customers
Your broadband fails or is flaky

You need to serve B2C and Trade customers seamlessly
Hold B2C, list price, trade pricing and discounts on the one terminal, offering invoicing and account purchasing alongside standard cash and card payments.
Store stock and warehouse stock are disconnected
Retail teams need to trust stock across stores, warehouses and ecommerce channels, not manage each location as a separate truth.
Store replenishment is reactive and manual
Stores need replenishment based on demand, stock position, transfer availability and operational rules, not guesswork or manual chasing.
Transfers create uncertainty
Stock moved between warehouse and store needs clear visibility from request and despatch to receipt and availability at the destination with clear variance capture.
Store and ecommerce demand compete for stock
Retailers need to control how stock is made available across POS, ecommerce, B2B and warehouse fulfilment workflows.
Multi-location dispatch decisions are unclear
Retailers need to know which location should fulfil which order, based on stock, routing rules and operational constraints.
Retail performance reporting is incomplete
Stores, ecommerce and warehouses need to be reported together to understand true performance and operational pressure.
