The stock-first retail platform

One source of stock truth. Every channel. Every location.

Archean is the massively scalable cloud engine that gives retailers real-time, configurable stock control across stores, warehouses, 3PLs and every sales channel – benchmarked at 1,000+ transactions per second, without replacing your whole stack.

Stock is the foundation.
Most retailers can’t see it.

When availability is a guess, every downstream decision – pricing, promise, routing, replenishment – costs money. Archean fixes the foundation.

No single view of stock?

Fragmented systems mean nobody trusts the number – decisions get made in the dark.

Overselling & cancellations?

Inaccurate availability leads to failed promises, refunds and lost customer trust.

Fulfilment cost creep?

Orders ship from the wrong place, eroding margin on every basket.

Stores held back?

Store stock is a black box, so ship-from-store and Click & Collect never deliver.

Slow to change channels?

Launching a new marketplace or fulfilment model means months of integration work.

Locked into legacy?

ERP-native stock logic can’t keep up with modern omnichannel demand.

Stock truth changes what your business can do

  • One real-time view of stock across every channel & node
  • Reduce overselling, cancellations and failed promises

  • Launch new channels and fulfilment models faster
  • Protect margin with cost-aware order routing

Benchmarked at, but not constrained to, 1,000 transactions per second, Archean handles the demands of national and international omnichannel operations without breaking a sweat.

Rapid, robust deployment

Configurable at the core, not custom coded per customer meaning Archean can be deployed to address multiple business needs in weeks, not years.

Plays well with your stack

API-first by design. Sit alongside your ecommerce, ERP, POS, WMS, 3PL and marketplace ecosystem and start delivering value from day one.

Everyone wants AI. Very few organisations are actually ready for AI. Archean makes them ready.

AI cannot fix fragmented systems, inconsistent product data, disconnected inventory or unreliable customer information. It simply amplifies whatever you give it.

AI doesn’t replace good data. It depends on it.

That’s why organisations investing in AI first need to invest in their operational foundation.

Archean connects your systems, centralises your data and creates a single source of truth, giving AI the accurate, trusted information it needs to deliver meaningful results.

AI isn’t the first step. It’s what becomes possible once the foundations are in place.

Connected Data

Break down silos and create one trusted source of information across your business.

AI Ready

Give AI clean, structured, contextual data so it can automate, analyse and make intelligent recommendations.

Business Confidence

Know that every insight, forecast and AI-driven decision is based on accurate operational data.
