How Data Engineering Services Helped a Retail Brand Build a Real-Time Inventory System

How Data Engineering Services Helped a Retail Brand Build a Real-Time Inventory System

In 2025, data-driven decision-making isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. One of the most exciting use cases we recently worked on at Codevian Technology involved transforming a growing retail brand’s outdated inventory system into a real-time, AI-enabled powerhouse using our advanced data engineering services.

The Challenge

The client, a mid-sized omnichannel retail company, struggled with poor inventory visibility across online and offline channels. Stock-outs, overstocking, and manual data entry were leading to lost sales and high operational costs. Their legacy system couldn’t handle real- time updates or integrate with eCommerce platforms like Shopify and Amazon.

They needed a solution that was fast, scalable, and capable of delivering accurate insights across hundreds of SKUs, multiple warehouses, and sales channels.

The Solution: Data Engineering Services by Codevian

We started by conducting a deep data audit and designed a real-time data pipeline architecture tailored to their operations. Here’s how Codevian’s data engineering services transformed their business:

  • ETL Automation: We built robust ETL pipelines to extract data from point-of-sale systems, eCommerce APIs, and warehouse databases—then transformed and loaded it into a centralized cloud data warehouse (Snowflake).
  • Real-Time Streaming: Using Apache Kafka and Spark Streaming, we enabled live inventory updates triggered by every sale, return, or
  • Data Lake s Governance: To ensure scalability and compliance, we built a data lake with proper schema validation, access control, and data
  • BI Dashboards: We integrated the warehouse with Power BI, providing real-time dashboards for procurement, sales, and operations

The Results

With Codevian’s data engineering services, the client achieved:

  • G8% inventory accuracy across channels
  • 40% reduction in stock-outs
  • Faster order fulfillment and fewer returns
  • Live dashboards that improved decision-making across departments

Most importantly, the system is scalable—ready for new store openings and seasonal sales surges without any downtime.
