Abstract is one product, but a jacket brand, a distributor and a factory do not walk in the same way. Pick yours to see the modules, the workflows and the demo that fit.

E-commerce & D2C brands

Every channel in, every parcel out, one stock figure.

Shopify and trade orders land in one queue with the customer's notes, get allocated per line and per warehouse, picked in waves that cannot double-pick, and leave with a Royal Mail or FedEx label. Returns, credits and refunds flow back the same way.

  • Orders from every Shopify store arrive already routed through Action Center rules
  • Kits sell at the stock of their lowest component, so a bundle never oversells
  • Pick waves built from carrier cut-offs; scan-verified so a line is never picked twice
  • Royal Mail and FedEx labels printed from the order; shipments pushed back to the channel
  • Store-collection orders tracked to the till

Light MRP a real factory can run on.

Multi-level bills of materials with routings, works orders with costing and valuation, work centres with real capacity, and a scheduler where a late fabric delivery pushes the plan before anyone notices. A forward planner sets months of demand against purchase orders already due.

  • Works orders raised automatically from sales orders and shortfalls
  • Work centre scheduler: drag jobs, see capacity, sequence and material dates react
  • Inspection routing and fail codes on goods-in and production
  • Weekly load per work centre against capacity, so overloads show early
  • Costing and valuation that holds up under audit

04 · Multi-store retail

Tills that share stock with the warehouse.

Abstract POS runs your stores on the same database as your warehouse. Several users on one till, store collections, returns, vouchers and end-of-day, and the till keeps selling if the connection drops. Sell from the shelf or from the warehouse without a second stock file.

  • Store collections for web orders tracked to the counter
  • Workshop queue for printing, embroidery, stringing and repairs

  • Customer pricing follows the customer, not the channel
