HelpMeSell : Unified Inventory & Forecasting SaaS for E-Commerce Sellers

An internal logistics and inventory system built to become a scalable SaaS product for multichannel sellers, eliminating stockouts and streamlining compliance.

HelpMeSell Landing Page - SaaS for Multichannel E-commerce

Overview & Goal

E-commerce businesses often juggle multiple platforms—Amazon, eBay, Shopify—without a unified view of their inventory, sales, or stock forecasting. SnS Commerce GmbH approached us with a clear mission: build an internal logistics and inventory system that evolves into a scalable SaaS product for multichannel sellers. The goal was to eliminate missed sales due to stockouts, streamline compliance, and provide a central cockpit for online sellers to manage products, sales, and forecasts in real time.

Challenges

Creating a robust multichannel inventory system presented key challenges:

  • API Complexity: Harmonizing data from diverse platforms (Amazon, eBay, Shopify) with different formats and rate limits.
  • Inventory Forecasting: Building predictive models that consider order delays, restock times, and dynamic sales volumes.
  • Data Sync & Aggregation: Aligning multiple listings into unified products while preventing data drift.
  • Multi-Tenant SaaS Architecture: Ensuring secure, stable, and performant systems for multiple users.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Delivering timely warnings through WhatsApp and Email based on intelligent stock thresholds.

Solution

We delivered a fully-functional MVP—under budget and on time—supporting full inventory control, real-time sales tracking, and intelligent restocking suggestions. As Team Lead, I assembled and guided a six-person development team and personally led backend development and forecasting logic using Django and Python.

Key System Components

01. Multiplatform Product View

Aggregates listings from Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, combining them into single "products" using SKU or EAN. It displays an intuitive product table with image, title, stock, sales, and days-to-reorder.

02. Sales & Order Tracking

Imports historical sales and updates new orders in real-time, with CSV upload for B2B order support. Interactive dashboards show sales trends filtered by platform, region, and product.

03. Inventory Forecasting

Calculates "days left in stock" and triggers alerts when sales projections exceed the delivery buffer. The system adapts to real shipment delays to maintain forecast accuracy.

04. Purchase Orders & Shipments

Tracks incoming stock with shipping IDs. As orders arrive, they update warehouse inventory and recalibrate forecasts, comparing expected vs. actual delivery to fine-tune future planning.

05. Notifications System

Alerts users via WhatsApp or Email for low stock, urgent reorders, or Amazon compliance events. A configurable rule engine allows for custom triggers.

06. SaaS Setup & Infrastructure

A full multi-tenant system with secure email-based login, a 14-day free trial via Stripe integration, and a scalable backend architecture to support parallel user sessions.
