Supply Chain & Logistics

Centralize warehouse data without breaking the bank.

Onsite servers shed reporting load to stay resilient during peaks.

Operations data from disparate time zones flow seamlessly into one reporting system without disruptive changes. Handle peaks without expensive upgrades. We have done this before, and we can do it for you.

We are looking for a small number of design partners to build this with.

  • 10B+ rows synced worldwide
  • Offline support
  • High-latency network connections
  • Spotty Internet
  • Site-specific encryption
  • Production grade
  • Black Friday peaks
  • Cyber Monday peaks

The reality

What we designed for.

Six realities of multi-site operations that shaped how this works.

Every site is an island

Different warehouse systems, different versions, different ages. Nothing lines up, so nothing adds up.

Reports stop at the site fence

Head office waits for somebody at each warehouse to send a spreadsheet, then waits again to find out why the numbers disagree.

Nobody wants to touch what works

The system running the warehouse is not the place to take risks. Replacing it is a year of disruption and no new revenue.

The link outside is not always good

Work cannot stop because the internet dropped, so anything that depends on a perfect connection is not an option.

The cloud copy costs more than the answers

Lifting everything into a cloud database means paying for a database engine, per site, every month, forever. The reports are rarely worth that.

Building it yourself takes years

The plumbing is harder than it looks once sites go offline, rows get edited and deleted, and someone has to notice when a site quietly stops sending.

What we build with you

Two things, in that order.

01

Get your data to the cloud, cheaply

A small piece of software runs inside your own network at each site and sends data outward. That is the whole footprint.

  • After the initial sync, only what changed leaves the site, so the traffic and the cost stay small.
  • It lands in a shape that is cheap to store, instead of an expensive cloud database.
  • Nothing at the warehouse is replaced or rewritten.
02

Every warehouse from one screen

Every site's data arrives in one central store, stamped with the site it came from, and your reporting reads from there.

  • Head office, a regional manager and a customer portal all read the same numbers.
  • No more chasing each warehouse, and no more reconciling spreadsheets.
  • Reports run against the central copy, not the warehouse database. That frees headroom on your onsite servers, so they stay resilient through peaks.
  • Each new site needs its own setup. It is the same rollout every time, not a fresh build.
  • Your team builds the reports and the centralized portal, guided by our best practices and rapid development tools.
How it works

In plain terms.

  1. 1

    Something small runs inside your network

    On your hardware, behind your firewall. It sends data out; nothing reaches in.

  2. 2

    You choose what matters, and what matters most

    You pick the tables worth sharing and rank what matters most, so whatever someone is waiting on moves to the front of the queue and the rest follows behind.

  3. 3

    Changes queue up on site

    When a row is added, edited or removed, that change waits its turn at the site, compressed and encrypted so only you can decrypt it.

  4. 4

    It arrives centrally within a couple of minutes

    Every change lands in one store, stamped with the site it came from, and each site keeps its own space.

  5. 5

    Your reports read from one place

    Dashboards, exports and customer portals all point at the same central copy rather than at thirty separate warehouses.

The cost

Why the bill stays small.

Most of the price of centralizing data is not the moving. It is what you pay to keep it sitting there.

Only what changed is sent

Not a full copy of everything, over and over, all night, every night.

Stored the cheap way

Your warehouse data is not parked in a costly cloud database waiting to be read once a week.

No new license per site

Centralizing does not mean buying another database engine for every warehouse you own.

Your account, your rates

It can run inside your own cloud account, so you keep whatever discounts you have already negotiated.

Reliability

Built for the bad days, not the demo.

The link drops

Changes wait at the site and go when it comes back. Nothing is lost while you are offline.

Something restarts

Each table remembers its own place, so it picks up exactly where it stopped rather than starting again.

Rows get edited and deleted

Edits and deletions carry through, not just new rows, so the central copy does not quietly drift away from the truth.

The site gets busy

It holds back when your machines are working hard, and reporting never touches the warehouse database at all. The warehouse always comes first.

Track record

This is not our first warehouse.

10B+rows synced worldwide in production, over ordinary public internet links
Millionsof files kept in step for major companies across the United States
20 yearsof keeping data in step over links that cannot be trusted

Drift, backfill, recovery and unreliable links are not new problems to us. They are the problems we have spent our careers on.

Design partners

Who we are looking for.

A small number of logistics companies, working closely with us, shaping what gets built.

More than one site

You run several warehouses and you already feel the cost of not being able to see across them.

SQL Server, MongoDB or Postgres

Any of those is a quick start. Other databases are possible; tell us what you have.

One IT contact at one site

One person who can get us access to a single site to begin with. That is all we need to start.

Happy to start small

One site, one set of tables, something useful in your hands early, then roll out at your pace.

Design partners pay a subscription rather than a project fee, because this needs support and improvement for as long as you run it. See how pricing works

Ready when you are

Your warehouses, your data, one view.

Start with one site and see it working before you commit to anything wider.
