Inventory meaning
Define whether “available” means on-hand, sellable, reservable, or confirmed—and how recently the source updated.
Stores & pickup
The website and store should feel like one helpful place.
02 / Visit
Check location, availability, pickup timing, and what happens after a request—before making the trip.
Connected customer journey
Let people check before they make the trip.
When inventory and store operations can support it, a product page can surface nearby availability, realistic pickup timing, and a clear fallback.
01Choose a product
Variant and quantity stay specific.
02Choose a location
Availability has a timestamp and meaning.
03Wait for confirmation
A request is not called ready until the store confirms it.
What keeps the promise honest
The interface is the last mile of an operational decision.
A polished pickup button is only useful when inventory, responsibility, timing, exceptions, and customer communication have owners.
Service timing
Give staff enough time to locate and stage the item. Tell the customer what happens next and who confirms readiness.
Exception paths
Plan for missing stock, split orders, late arrivals, substitutions, cancellations, returns, and customers who need another option.
Responsible data
Collect only what the transaction needs, assign provider ownership, publish accurate policies, and secure every handoff.
