What changes when it is retail
A backup you have never restored from is a hope, not a plan. We test restores on a schedule, because the moment you need one is the wrong moment to discover it is broken.
In retail, store-level data is noisy and channels are usually not integrated. That single fact reshapes how website maintenance & support has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is shrinkage detection, usually integrated against CRM. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector
Our store data is messy.
Universally true, and the data audit is the first work package. Stockouts unrecorded as zero sales are the single most common distortion in retail forecasting.
Can it work across online and offline?
Yes, and unified demand across channels is usually where the largest gains sit. Most retailers forecast them separately and lose accuracy to it.
What does maintenance actually cover?
Updates, backups and restore tests, monitoring, security patching, and a monthly allowance for small content changes. Anything larger is quoted separately and agreed before work starts.
What if the site goes down?
Monitoring alerts us, and the response time is in the agreement rather than left vague. Restores run from tested backups.
Do you maintain sites you did not build?
Yes, after an audit. We need to know what is in there before taking responsibility for it, and occasionally that audit changes the recommendation.
