Oxagile's retail software development services

Consulting

A short engagement that maps the stack before anything gets committed:

  • Audit of current systems, integrations, and failure points
  • Technical assessment naming the actual constraint
  • Implementation plan priced against a defined scope

Custom development

Custom retail software development for the parts no packaged product fits:

  • Marketplaces with vendor bidding, commission, and payout logic
  • Commerce platforms architected for launch-day and seasonal peaks
  • Operational systems taken from first requirement to production

Integration

Connections between the storefront and everything sitting behind it:

  • CRM, ERP, POS, carrier, and marketplace connections
  • Payment work shared with the payment integrations team
  • Failing script sets replaced by services that hold under load

Modernization

Legacy retail systems rebuilt on a current stack without pausing trade:

  • Existing behavior documented before any code gets replaced
  • Rebuild sequenced so trading continues throughout
  • Regression automation that cut one retail release cycle to a minute

Migration

Platform-to-platform and content management system moves with data intact:

  • Catalog, order history, and customer records mapped and verified
  • Cutover planned around your trading calendar
  • Rollback path defined before the switch happens

Support and maintenance

Ownership after launch, including the weeks that actually matter:

  • Monitoring, releases, and incident response on agreed terms
  • Capacity raised ahead of seasonal peaks, lowered afterwards
  • Teams scaled up or down without permanent headcount

Retail segments we serve

Software development for retail changes less by segment than most briefs assume. The differences are in a few specific places.

Grocery

The challenge:

Perishable stock. Thin margins. Same-day promises. Multi-site fulfillment.

Inventory has to reconcile in near real time across stores and fulfillment sites, because a stale number here turns into waste by the end of the day.

Fashion

The challenge:

SKU explosion. High return rates. Seasonal drops. Size and color variants.

Catalog and returns logic carry the variant load without manual cleanup, and the storefront holds through a drop instead of buckling in the first ten minutes.

D2C brands

The challenge:

Platform ceilings. Blocked roadmap. Rising fees. Growth outpacing the stack.

The usual fix is custom logic built around the hosted platform, which keeps the roadmap moving without committing to a full replatform before the numbers justify it.

Marketplaces

The challenge:

Vendor trust. Settlement disputes. Payout timing. Two-sided liquidity.

Oxagile has built vendor bidding, commission, and payout flows for vehicle and services marketplaces, where money movement decides whether the platform holds.

Automotive

The challenge:

Configurable products. Long consideration. Dealer networks. Price complexity.

Configurators and visualizers carry a specification through to a priced, orderable line, so the buyer builds the product up front and the dealer receives a clean order.

Subscriptions

The challenge:

Churn. Failed payments. Signup drop-off. Renewal friction.

Retention lives in the signup path and the payment options behind it. Oxagile runs this as a continuous A/B tested program with dunning and recovery built in.

Not sure which system to fix first?

An audit puts the constraint, the cost, and the sequence on one page before anything gets committed.

AI and data capabilities for retail

Most retail AI projects start with the data. The capabilities below are the ones Oxagile delivers today, each built on that groundwork.

Data foundations for AI

Data foundations for AI

Product, stock, and order data are typically present in three systems that disagree.

Oxagile builds the data store and semantic layer that AI systems read from, so a model works off one set of records. The same work delivers clean reporting even with no model on top.

Demand forecasting

Demand forecasting

Forecasting is statistical modeling applied to sales history, seasonality, and the promotional calendar.

Oxagile’s team treats it as a data engineering problem first, because a forecast is only ever as good as the history feeding it.

Recommendations and personalization

Recommendations and personalization

Recommendation engines run on machine learning, and they are judged on measured uplift.

The engineers at Oxagile have built targeting and prediction systems that ran against live traffic and returned a response in under 120 milliseconds.

Computer vision

Computer vision

Oxagile’s computer vision work covers object detection, tracking, and image analysis, delivered across video, public safety, and industrial settings.

Shelf monitoring and loss prevention build on the same engineering.

Why Oxagile

Choosing a retail software development company comes down to what it can put a number against. These three are on record.

Legacy rebuilt fastest

Rebuilding an existing system is the work Oxagile moves quickest on. On one retail ecosystem, automated regression testing went from 8 hours to 1 minute, cutting time-to-market by 99.79%.

Engagements measured in years

One engagement ran 36+ months across 720 man-months. A food commerce product has been in continuous delivery since January 2020. The team that builds your system stays on it.

Integration under load

POS terminals certified for PCI compliance across 40+ payment providers. One storefront connected to CRMs of every kind, custom included. Ad targeting served under 120ms in production.

Retail platforms we work with

Magento

Magento

The right call when catalog complexity and custom checkout logic have outgrown a hosted platform and the team wants to own the code.

Shopify

Shopify

Worth it when speed to market outranks control, with custom logic layered around a platform you do not modify.

Salesforce

Salesforce

A fit where the customer record is the center of gravity and commerce has to be next to service and marketing data.

SAP Commerce

SAP Commerce

Makes sense for large catalogs already anchored to SAP finance and supply chain, where a separate commerce stack doubles the reconciliation work.

Odoo

Odoo

Earns its place when ERP, inventory, and commerce belong in one system, on one license, with no integration layer between them.

Dynamics 365

Dynamics 365

Suits retailers already standardized on Microsoft, with ERP, CRM, and POS running on a single license and identity model.

Retail software development roadmap

Step 1

System audit

The current stack, its constraints, and the actual bottleneck get documented before anything is scoped.

Step 2

Architecture and estimation

Integration points, data model, and load profile are designed, then priced against a defined scope.

Step 3

Prototype

A working first version lands in two to three weeks, so the plan gets reviewed against running software.

Step 4

Build and integrate

Delivery runs in short cycles, with the integration layer tested against your live systems.

Step 5

Launch and run

Cutover is planned around the trading calendar, with monitoring and peak-season capacity in place from day one.

FAQ

How much does retail software development cost?

Cost tracks scope and how much of the existing stack has to be touched. A prototype is a matter of weeks of engineering time.

Delivered projects in Oxagile’s portfolio range from 10 man-months for a targeted platform build to 720 man-months for a multi-year retail ecosystem. A system audit replaces the range with a number specific to your systems.

How long does it take to build custom retail software?

Oxagile delivers a working prototype in two to three weeks. A focused platform reaches production in about four months. A marketplace with payments and vendor logic needs roughly twelve months. POS and ERP work runs longer, because certification and reconciliation set the pace.

When does it make sense to replace an off-the-shelf system with a custom one?

When the workarounds cost more than the license. A packaged platform stays the right answer for standard commerce. Custom becomes justified when the process is genuinely specific to the business, or when platform limits cap revenue. Oxagile settles the question with a system audit in a few weeks, and most engagements end up as custom logic around the platform you already run.

Can you integrate new software with our existing POS, ERP, or legacy systems?

Yes. Oxagile has certified POS terminals across 40+ payment providers and connected a single storefront to a large set of CRM systems, including custom and undocumented ones. Legacy integration usually starts with an audit, because the constraint is almost always in the older system.

How do you handle peak loads like Black Friday and seasonal sales?

Oxagile designs load capacity into the architecture from the start. One commerce platform absorbs launch-day spikes on microservices, a database per service, and horizontal pod autoscaling on AWS, which keeps cost down between peaks. Another retail platform runs at over 100,000 users. Peak readiness work needs 2-3 weeks of lead time before the season.

Can you add AI features like demand forecasting or personalization?

Yes, and the first step is usually the data rather than the model. Forecasting and recommendations are machine learning applied to your history, and both fail on fragmented data. Oxagile builds the data layer first, then the model on top of it.

Your retail stack, audited first

An audit costs less than a wrong rebuild. Oxagile scopes retail software development against the systems you actually run, then prices it.
