Heiko Roth
Heiko Rothusa

COO of Agilea Solutions, CEO at Workerbee

Clockwise Software has been helping us create a digital marketplace for web and mobile platforms from scratch. They have been able to plan a great project with a limited budget. They’ve adhered to that plan, making us trust their work in every sprint that we start with them. They are valued members of our team, and we don't see that changing.

Iman Fadaei
Iman Fadaeiuk

Founder & CEO

We needed help to make our marketplace into a product, available as a service to people. Clockwise built the technology from a single marketplace into a multi-level marketplace solution. They've done exactly what we asked, delivering with technical skill, professionalism, and timeliness. Their team is clear, organized, and always available, accommodating our needs.

Types of retail software we deliver

Ecommerce apps

Smooth browsing, checkout, and delivery tracking, optimized for mobile and fully integrated with your systems.

Inventory and warehouse automation

Track stock in real time, reduce errors, and streamline warehouse operations with smart automation tools.

Marketplace platforms

Multi-vendor platforms with seller dashboards, inventory sync, and built-in payment handling.

Retail software development process

Here’s how we bring your product to life:

Discovery: Build the right thing

We kick off retail software development by getting the foundations right. That means understanding how your business works, whether you're online, in-store, or both. We align on goals, explore your customer journeys, and define what’s worth building first. You’ll get a clear scope, a realistic budget estimate, an architecture plan, and a roadmap that’s easy to follow and adjust.

Our team doesn’t just follow a script. We tailor the team to your needs, set up a communication plan that fits, and keep everything aligned. With 200+ projects behind us, we know how to spot risks early and shape a product that’s built to grow with your business.

Learn more

Design: Clarity makes conversions

We design retail industry software solutions that feel easy from the first tap to checkout. Navigation makes sense. Flows are smooth. Nothing gets in the way of what the user came to do. Early in the process, you’ll get wireframes and an interactive prototype, so you can explore the product, drop comments, and steer things while it’s still flexible. Then we layer in visuals, refine the details, and make sure it looks like your brand, not a generic UI kit with your logo slapped on top.

Learn more

Development: Built for busy days

This is where ideas turn into software. Our engineers write clean, reliable code (for mobile, web, or both)  depending on what fits your retail product best. Everything we build is made to handle real-world load, sync with the tools you already use, and stay stable even when traffic spikes.

We work in sprints, share demos regularly, and stay flexible when plans shift. You’ll see progress week by week, with updates that show exactly what’s done, what’s next, and how it matches the budget. We track metrics like CPI and SPI to keep things transparent, so if something needs adjusting, you’ll know right away. You’ll see steady movement, clear priorities, and a product that’s actually ready for what comes next.

Testing: Let’s be sure

Our retail software development company tests what matters, not just for the sake of it. Early in the process, we agree on what quality looks like and build a plan around that. If your retail app is simple, we keep it lean with manual checks and flow validation. If it’s complex, we scale up: automated tests, security checks, performance testing, and more.

The goal stays the same either way: catch issues before your users do. We keep you in the loop, follow through on the plan, and make sure what we ship works: every tap, swipe, and click.

Learn more

Deployment: From code to customers

Going live is when the real signals start coming in. We help plan the rollout so timing, load, and last-minute fixes don’t throw things off. When your product goes live, we’re not on standby, we’re already monitoring, listening, and adjusting.

Real users behave differently from test cases, and we’re ready for that. You’ll get early feedback, we’ll help make sense of it, and together we’ll decide what to tweak, improve, or leave alone. Soft launch or public release, we’re close enough to catch the bumps and sharp enough to smooth them out.

Growth: No stale features

After launch, there are usually two paths: hand it off or keep evolving. If you’ve got your own team ready, we’ll make the transition smooth: with clean documentation, full context, and support during the handover.

But if you’re still in build mode, we’re not going anywhere. We can stick around to fine-tune the UX, roll out new features, or help your product scale as more users come on board. Growth often means change, and we stay flexible, ready to adapt plans based on real usage, feedback, and new opportunities. What we don’t do is build for the sake of it. We focus on what actually moves the product forward.

No-surprise retail software development

No floating timelines

Cost control built-in

Nothing goes quiet

Risk-ready from the start

Deadlines don’t slip

You’ll always know what’s done, what’s next, and how it lines up with the plan. Milestones aren’t for show. We back them with SPI data and weekly reality checks. And if scope changes or something new comes up, we don’t guess or hide behind buffers. We talk it through, show what moves, and keep the whole roadmap solid.

Clearing up your concerns

What if our product needs to support both in-store and online sales?

That’s a common need in retail, and we can help you plan the right setup. Whether you're using an existing POS or need to build one, we’ll look at how your systems should sync: products, stock, pricing, and customer data. Depending on your setup, that might mean building a shared backend API, integrating with your ERP, or setting up background jobs to keep inventory and orders consistent across channels.

Our retail software development company focuses on building maintainable, loosely coupled systems, so online and offline tools can evolve without breaking each other, and your team isn’t stuck managing two disconnected worlds.

How do you ensure our app runs smoothly during peak traffic, like Black Friday or seasonal sales?

We plan for the load from the start. Key parts of retail management systems, like search, checkout, or promo logic, are often built as independent modules so they can scale separately and won’t bottleneck the whole app.

We use caching, queueing, database optimization, and async processing where it makes sense. Before launch, we can run stress tests to simulate peak traffic and fix any weak points early. If you’re on a cloud platform, we’ll help configure autoscaling to handle sudden spikes without breaking performance.

Your app should perform the same on Monday morning as it does on Black Friday.

How do you handle payment gateway integrations for different regions or currencies?

We’ve integrated with both global gateways like Stripe and PayPal, and region-specific ones. If you're selling in multiple markets, we can set up support for local currencies, tax rules, and payment methods, whether it’s cards, bank transfers, or wallets.

We’ll help you choose gateways that match your business model and audience, then handle the technical side: API integration, currency conversion, localization, and fallback logic if needed. If compliance is a concern, we’ll also work within the provider’s PCI requirements, so you don’t take on extra ris

How will you optimize it for SEO?

We make sure your retail platform is built to be searchable. That includes fast-loading pages, clean URLs, and structured data that helps search engines understand your content, whether it's a product catalog, landing page, or blog. We also pay attention to things like crawlability, meta data, and how content is rendered, so you’re not stuck fixing SEO basics post-launch.

Can we trust the quality?

We set expectations together early on, so everyone’s clear on what “done” actually means. From there, we stick to structured QA, regular code reviews, and sprint demos where you can review progress firsthand.

Our team writes clean, maintainable code, follows proven delivery practices, and doesn’t take shortcuts, even under pressure. You’ll have full visibility into commits, pull requests, and test coverage. If something’s off, you’ll see it. And if it needs fixing, we’ll fix it, with no debates and no dodging.

How do you ensure we’re always up to speed?

We set up a communication rhythm that works for you, whether that’s weekly calls, async updates, or direct access to our project board. You’ll see every aspect of retail software development services: code, scope, progress reports, and upcoming plans. We don’t hold anything back.

At the end of each sprint, you’ll get a demo. You can review what’s done, give feedback, and approve what moves forward. And changes always come with context, including how they affect the schedule and cost.

Can our team pick things up easily after the project?

We keep everything open and documented, from code and architecture to workflows and key decisions. Your team gets full access, not just to the deliverables, but to the thinking behind them.

When it’s time to hand retail mobile app development over, we walk you through the system, explain how it fits together, and make sure your team is ready to take over. Whether you plan to manage things in-house or keep us around for support, you won’t be left with a black box.

Can we trust you’ll deliver what we asked for?

We lock in the scope early, so there’s no room for confusion later. You’ll review wireframes, specs, and prototypes before we write a single line of code, so we’re aligned on what’s being built.

During software development for retail, you’ll see progress in real time through sprint demos and shared boards. If scope moves, you’ll see what it means for time, budget, and delivery. We don’t shift the goalposts. We build what we agreed on and keep you involved the whole w

Can we count on a stable team throughout?

Most of our retail software developers stay long-term: our average tenure is 3.8 years, and churn in 2023 was just 5.5%. So the team that starts your project is likely to stick with it. That means fewer handoffs, better product context, and faster progress over time.

If someone does transition, we handle it properly. Everything’s documented, context is shared, and new team members are brought in without slowing things down. The people building your product stay with it, building context and momentum as they go.

Will the code be easy for us to manage later?

The full project history is yours: codebase, documentation, and all the context that comes with it. We write code that’s easy to follow and maintain, with clear structure, naming, and documentation to match.

If you're planning to bring development in-house, we’ll guide your team through the system. That includes handover sessions, walkthroughs, and space for questions. Our goal is simple: your team should be able to pick it up and keep moving without second-guessing how things work.

Will we run into any issues due to language barriers?

Communication is one of our strengths. 98% of our clients are from the US and UK, and clear, direct updates are part of how we work. We explain things clearly, whether it’s high-level goals or low-level code issues.

We’re comfortable with async chats, live calls, and structured documentation. If something’s unclear, we ask, not guess. Communication won’t be the thing slowing your project down.

Will we retain full IP ownership of the product?

All work we do (code, design, documentation, system structure) is created under your ownership. It’s written into the contract, and we don’t claim rights to anything we deliver. You’re free to use, update, or hand it off however you like. We build it, you keep it, simple as that.

How do you keep things running smoothly while based in Ukraine?

We’ve built our setup to stay steady through uncertainty. Our team works across multiple regions, both inside and outside Ukraine, and we’ve made key systems energy-independent to avoid delivery risks during outages.

Since the war began, we’ve kept projects on track, grown our team, and earned long-term trust from clients in the US and UK. For you, that means reliable delivery, consistent communication, and no surprises, even when the outside world isn’t predic

Can we trust your estimates to hold up?

We start retail software development by breaking down what it actually takes, based on what we’ve delivered before, no guesses. That gives you realistic numbers from day one, not best-case dreams.

As the project moves forward, we monitor delivery speed and cost performance with real metrics like CPI and SPI. You’ll always see how work stacks up against the plan, in hard numbers.

If something shifts, you won’t hear about it after the fact. We bring it up early, explain the tradeoffs, and adjust the plan together, so your budget stays yours to manage, not ours to overspend.
