Not every sync needs to be real-time
Scheduled or event-driven updates can be safer, cheaper and easier to recover.

AdvanceRetail Integration for Omnichannel Retail
AdvanceRetail POS and inventory connected to your storefront, so online and in-store finally tell the same story.
AdvanceRetail runs point of sale and inventory for a lot of Australian retailers, and the reason to integrate it is almost always the same: your website and your stores should agree about stock, customers, and sales. We connect AdvanceRetail to Shopify, Adobe Commerce, and custom platforms so inventory reconciles across the network, online orders flow into the same system as in-store sales, and customer data is unified, all with retries, idempotency, and monitoring so the sync stays honest through busy trading.

Our integration track record
The reliability an AdvanceRetail sync needs is the reliability we already run in production: ERP integrations across Options ERP, NetSuite, MYOB, and Xero, including a nightly job that moves around ten million rows at 100% success. Omnichannel retail stock is the same problem with a POS on one end.
Capabilities
What we build with AdvanceRetail
The AdvanceRetail integration work our senior team most often takes on.
Omnichannel Stock
Inventory reconciled across your stores and your website so online availability reflects the whole network. Essential the moment you offer click and collect or ship from store.
Unified Orders & Sales
Online orders flowing into the same system as your in-store sales, so reporting, stock, and fulfilment treat every sale consistently regardless of channel.
Unified Customers & Loyalty
Customer records and loyalty kept consistent across online and in-store, so a customer is one customer to your business whether they buy on the website or at the counter.
Reliable & Monitored
Retries, idempotency, alerting, and reconciliation so stock stays accurate through busy retail trading and failures surface immediately.
How it works
An AdvanceRetail integration built to last
The same approach behind every integration we deliver, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance that follow.
Scope & map
We define the data, events, responsibilities, source of truth, and failure cases across AdvanceRetail and the systems around it.
Build for failure
We design around real failure modes with appropriate retries, idempotent writes, validation, and reconciliation so a temporary outage does not become silent data loss.
Test & reconcile
We test representative data in a safe environment, verify each data path, and reconcile the expected outcomes before go-live.
Monitor & maintain
Monitoring and alerting start at launch. Our senior team keeps the project context and remains responsible for changes, incidents, and long-term operation.

Straight advice
The simplest reliable integration usually wins.
The right design depends on volume, timing, ownership and what must happen when either system is unavailable.
Choose a source of truth
Each field and business rule needs one accountable owner across the connected systems.
Design the failure path
Retries, logs, alerts and reconciliation are part of the integration—not optional support work.
The Difference
Online and in-store should tell one story.
The whole promise of omnichannel is that your website and your shops agree. That only works if the integration reconciles stock and customers across the network reliably, not just when it is quiet.
A common shortcut
Online and in-store drift apart.
-
Syncs the warehouse only, so online availability ignores what is sitting in and selling from your stores.
-
No reconciliation, so on a busy Saturday the website and AdvanceRetail quietly disagree.
Our senior-team model
One accurate view across channels.
-
Reconciles stock across every store and the warehouse, so online availability reflects the whole network.
-
Reconciliation and monitoring keep the two in step through peak trading, with failures alerted immediately.

FAQ
Common AdvanceRetail Integration Questions
Common questions our team is asked about integrating AdvanceRetail.
Yes. AdvanceRetail's POS and inventory can sync with Shopify, Adobe Commerce, or a custom storefront so that stock, orders, and customers are consistent across online and in-store. For most retailers the driving reason is accurate omnichannel stock, especially once click and collect or ship from store is on the table.
Yes, and it is usually the whole point of the integration. Online availability should reflect stock across the entire network, not just the warehouse, so a customer is not sold something that only exists in a store two hundred kilometres away that has just sold its last one. Getting that reconciliation right is the core of the work.
Yes. Customer records and loyalty can be kept consistent across channels so a shopper is recognised as the same customer whether they buy online or in a store. That unified view is what makes loyalty programs and customer marketing actually work across an omnichannel business.
