Real-time inventory management desktop application used by 200+ retail stores across 3 countries with offline-first sync architecture.



A major retail chain with 200+ stores across Southeast Asia was struggling with inventory discrepancies that cost them millions annually. Their existing cloud-only system couldn't function during internet outages — common in rural locations — leading to lost sales and inaccurate stock counts.
Offline-first architecture in Electron is notoriously difficult. We needed guaranteed data consistency across 200+ locations, each with unreliable internet. The sync engine had to handle conflict resolution for simultaneous edits, partial syncs, and complete data recovery after extended offline periods.
We built a dual-framework approach: Electron for Windows/macOS distribution and Tauri for lightweight Linux terminals. SQLite provides local storage with a custom CRDT-based sync engine that resolves conflicts intelligently. GraphQL subscriptions push real-time updates when online, while the app operates fully offline with queued syncs.
