Hold every shoe as a style, size, width and colour, down to the last pair in the box.
Footwear stores sell one style in a dozen sizes, and a missing size is a lost sale. The footwear product keeps stock by style, size, width and colour, covering the pairs on the shelf and in the back room, and fit-related returns. Supplier orders follow the size run that actually sold.
A shoe is never one item. It is a style in several sizes, often in two widths and three colours, and each combination is a separate box on a shelf.
Pairs are recorded as the shop assistant fetches them, by style, then size, then colour. Returns, transfers and supplier orders follow the same grid, so a gap in one size shows before a customer asks for it.
Cartons arrive from a brand or a distributor as a size run, with a packing list that rarely matches what is inside. Staff open every carton, check each box label against the shoe, and place the pairs on the shelf or in the back room. Each box carries a barcode, a style code and a retail price.
The sales floor fetches sizes all day long, and a customer tries three pairs, buys one and leaves two behind on the bench for someone to carry back. Returns come back for fit, a loose sole or a wrong colour. Fetching never stops.
Orders for the next season go out months ahead, based on a size curve that the buyer keeps in a notebook. Slow styles are marked down at season end. Odd pairs, display pairs and boxes with the wrong shoe inside pile up in a corner.

Data migration and spreadsheet replacement covers auditing existing files, cleaning and deduplicating records, loading them into a new system and reconciling the loaded result against known totals. Both systems then run side by side before cutover. Originals stay untouched.
Learn moreTraining and Adoption
Adoption work starts after launch. Each role is trained at its own screen on its own tasks, such as billing returns, goods receipts or closing job cards. Support stands on the floor at go-live. Afterwards the records are reviewed to find which steps staff skip, which fields stay blank and why the stores or field team still reach for a notebook. Share your requirements and we will plan it with you.

Read the case studyQuestions footwear stores ask before they call.
Can one style hold sizes, widths and colours at once?
Yes. A style carries every size, width and colour as its own line with its own barcode. Counts are kept per line, so a shortage in size eight shows before a customer asks for it.
What happens to an odd pair or a display pair?
Each is held as a separate line, flagged as odd or display, and kept out of the sellable count until a person moves it back. Both appear on the markdown list at season end.
Do we need it for a single small shoe shop?
Maybe not. A shop with a few styles can manage on a counter register. The grid starts to matter when several sizes run short across weeks, and the owner can judge that from the shelf.
Can we load our current price list and stock?
Yes, from a spreadsheet or your billing export. The owner or manager checks the imported styles and sizes against the shelf before billing starts on the new system. A short list of exceptions is expected.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
