Industry: Ecommerce & Retail
Ecommerce & Retail Software Development Company
Alive Inc is a global software development company that builds ecommerce and retail platforms — custom storefronts, marketplaces, point-of-sale systems and inventory/order management software — for D2C brands, retailers and marketplace operators worldwide. Payment gateways, logistics integrations and omnichannel inventory are handled as part of delivery.
We have built storefront, marketplace, POS and inventory software since 2010, working across Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and fully custom stacks, and integrating the payment gateways, shipping carriers and ERPs each retail business runs on.
Challenges
Problems we solve for Ecommerce & Retail

A checkout that is fast, trustworthy and works the same on every device is the difference between a sale and a bounce.
Inventory across channels
Stock levels that must stay accurate across a website, marketplaces and physical stores in real time.
Payment and fraud
Multiple payment methods, currencies and fraud checks that cannot slow down a legitimate buyer.
Peak traffic scaling
Sales, launches and seasonal spikes that can multiply normal traffic many times over without warning.
Logistics integration
Shipping rates, tracking and returns that need to sync cleanly with carriers and 3PLs.
Personalization at scale
Product recommendations and search that stay fast as your catalog grows.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can you build on Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento, or fully custom?
Yes, all three, plus fully custom/headless builds when an off-the-shelf platform cannot handle your catalog complexity or scale requirements.
Do you handle inventory sync across multiple sales channels?
Yes. We build real-time inventory sync across your website, marketplaces and physical POS, so stock never oversells.
Can you integrate our existing POS or ERP system?
Yes. We integrate with common POS and ERP systems, or build a POS from scratch that shares data with your storefront.
How do you handle peak traffic like sales events?
We load-test against your expected peak, use auto-scaling infrastructure and CDN caching, and design checkout to degrade gracefully rather than fail under load.
Do you build marketplace or multi-vendor platforms?
Yes. We build multi-vendor marketplaces with vendor onboarding, commission handling, and separate seller and buyer experiences.
Can you migrate us from our current platform?
Yes. We handle platform migrations including product data, customer history, SEO redirects and order history, planned to minimize downtime.
