Challenge
Multi-channel e-commerce. Online, marketplace, B2B, physical stores. 8+ European markets with planned rapid expansion.
Knifestock needed to build solid analytical environment for controlled growth. Based on a reference from Stahlmann, they contacted us with a clear vision.
Key need: Intelligent inventory management - critical factor for multi-market expansion.
When you sell thousands of SKUs through 4 channels in 8 countries, inventory decisions become complex:
- Too much inventory = tied capital
- Too little inventory = lost sales
- Optimal balance = competitive advantage
They needed an automated real-time solution.
Solution
Sales and Profitability Analytics
Direct connection of ERP Pohoda with e-shop platform RSHOP by RIESENIA and other systems.
Multi-channel view across online, marketplace, B2B and retail. Real-time profitability tracking at product, channel and country level.
Intelligent Inventory Management (our flagship solution for e-commerce)
Real-time analysis of every SKU:
- Current inventory vs. sales trends
- Dynamically calculated optimal quantities
- Automatic identification of SKUs to order
- Detection of slow-moving positions tying up capital
Result: Management sees at any moment not only what’s selling, but also how efficiently capital is allocated in inventory.
Real Impact
The system identified a product category with significantly excessive inventory in several countries - capital tied for 4-6 months of sales.
Action: Coordinated discount strategy for selected SKUs across markets.
Result:
- Resources released from inefficient inventory
- Capital reallocated to fast-rotating SKUs
- Support for expansion to new markets
- Cash flow impact: Significantly positive
Infrastructure scales with expansion - adding a new market doesn’t require system change, just configuration of new market view.

- Multi-market planning challenging
After implementation:

- Dynamic calculations of optimal inventory levels
- Active recommendations for purchasing decisions

Management transitioned from reactive to proactive inventory management.
