A variant master and one live stock view across stores and channels — replenishment, the till, click-and-collect and the ledger, from single store to 500+ on one tenant.
Multi-category retailers and distributors run the same variant-aware platform across every store and channel.
The same four leaks show up across fashion, electronics, home and department-store operators.
Size, colour, fit, fitment, capacity — mismatched at scan-time across clothing, apparel and jewellery; fitting-room returns hit a different SKU than the sale; the variant master drifts between channels. Slow scans, retyped baskets, walked customers.
Online sees stock the store doesn’t have; pickup in-store fails and the customer churns; returns to the wrong store break inventory accuracy. Omnichannel only works when per-store stock is real-time and accurate.
Layaway tracked on paper, lost between handovers; gift cards out of sync with the redemption ledger; alterations on a separate book. Sales walked when the till can’t handle the basket types.
Layaway deposits, finance plans, extended warranty, serial-tracked electronics, gift wrapping — the high-ticket basket needs deposit-tracking, balance-due workflow and fulfilment-trigger rules. A generic till can’t carry them.
Store, website and back office on one stock view, never disagreeing.
Forecast-led min/max per variant refills fast sellers before the shelf gaps, raising suggested purchase orders so the buyer touches exceptions, not the routine.
One pricelist publishes to every till and the website, with per-store overrides where a banner needs them, and loyalty earns and redeems against the customer master.
Orders pick against real per-store stock so the website never sees stock the store doesn’t hold, and ship-from-store packs off live stock with the customer notified on pick — click-and-collect and ship-from-store as one unified-commerce stock view, not two systems guessing at each other.
One barcode resolves to one variant, capturing size, colour and fit cleanly at the scan, while per-department layouts ring multi-line baskets with no retyping — SKU management for clothing, apparel and jewellery on a single variant master.
Returns reconcile to the original sale so they hit the right SKU and route to any store, and one till carries layaway, gift cards and alterations on a single record.
Real-time per-store P&L gives managers and HQ the same margin picture, and a denomination cash close exports the deposit pack in one tap as invoices post to the ledger.
Live estate dashboards drill from the per-banner headline to the transaction, while forecasting and alerts flag shrinkage and stock-outs before they cost the basket.
Industry-typical benchmarks RouteMagic specialty operators aim at on the platform.
Bits ‘N’ Bobs supplies household essentials, stationery, vaping and mobile accessories — a deep, multi-category, multi-SKU range — across the North West. Stock control was trust-based and shrinkage ran at 14%. RouteMagic put every transaction in real time on one source of truth, with 100% live stock visibility and clean end-of-day reconciliation — the same multi-SKU live-stock accuracy a specialty retailer needs to keep size, colour and variant counts right across stores and channels. Shrinkage went to zero and the team got two to three hours of admin back every day.
Variant-aware POS for the till layer — fast scan, layaway, gift cards, returns to any store.
Per-store real-time inventory, variant master across channels, IMEI / serial tracking for high-value SKUs.
Layaway deposits, custom orders, click-and-collect orchestration and per-banner reporting.
Whether the platform fits, how the rollout goes, and what the deal looks like.
Yes — per-department / per-floor till layouts, with shared stock and customer master across the store. Each department gets a tailored workflow on one product master.
Multi-attribute master (size / colour / fit), one barcode per variant, bulk catalogue import. Fitting-room returns reconcile cleanly to the original sale; variant master stays in sync across till, online and marketplace.
An EPOS (electronic point of sale, or POS) system is the till software that scans, prices and takes payment at the counter. For specialty retail it has to handle variants, layaway, gift cards and returns to any store — not just ring a single line. RouteMagic provides the variant-aware point-of-sale and till software as part of one platform that also runs stock, click-and-collect and the ledger.
Yes. RouteMagic runs clothing stores, apparel chains and independent boutiques on a size/colour/fit variant master, with one barcode per variant and live per-store stock. The same platform covers a single boutique POS or a multi-store estate from one tenant.
Yes. Jewellery lines run on the same variant master, with serial tracking for high-value and hallmarked pieces so each item is followed unit by unit through stock, sale and return. That gives jewellery shops the stock-management and audit trail the category needs.
Yes — real-time, per-store stock across the whole estate, so the website never promises stock a shop does not hold. For deeper retail stock control and shop stock management — counts, multi-location bins, IMEI and serial tracking — see stock control across stores, and orchestrate fulfilment with click-and-collect and ship-from-store orchestration.
Yes — real-time per-store inventory, customer notification on pick, ship-from-store option for online orders. The online channel never sees stock the store doesn’t have.
Independent: 2–3 weeks. Chain pilot: 4–6 weeks; phased rollout per region or banner thereafter.
Yes — integrate via standard product / inventory / order APIs. Most operators run RouteMagic at the front of house and back-of-store while keeping the existing storefront and orchestrating fulfilment across the two.
Faster scan at the till (basket size up), omnichannel cancellation reduction (per-store stock accuracy), service-basket capture (layaway, gift cards, custom) and per-store P&L visibility — the data layer no spreadsheet ever caught up with.
