Technology for shops, retailers and wholesalers.
Retail runs on knowing what you have, what you sold and what you are owed. Ascend can build systems that keep sales, stock and customers in one clear picture.
What Ascend can build
- POS and inventory systems
- Sales and stock reporting
- Online stores
Common operational challenges
Problems organizations in this sector often run into when records and processes are managed by hand.
Stock that does not match the shelves
Manual counts and paper records make it hard to trust stock figures.
Manual sales records
Handwritten sales are slow to total and difficult to analyse.
Visibility across branches
Owners with more than one location struggle to see sales and stock side by side.
Customer credit and suppliers
Tracking who owes what, and what you owe suppliers, is easy to get wrong.
Technology opportunities
Where well-designed software can make the day-to-day work easier and clearer.
Fast, accurate checkout
Sales recorded as they happen, with receipts for customers.
Stock that updates itself
Inventory adjusting automatically as products are sold and received.
Branch-level reporting
Sales and stock compared across locations and staff.
An online sales channel
An online store connected to the same products and stock.
