Running a modern retail business is no longer just about having an online storefront. Retailers juggle multiple channels—offline stores, online shops, mobile apps, and complex supply chains. The challenge? Most platforms only solve one piece of the puzzle.
For Shopify and Wix users, adding offline store management, expiry date tracking, or integrated accounting means expensive custom development projects. In most cases, the cost quickly escalates to £5,000 or more just to replicate what larger retailers take for granted.
xTago has stepped in to change the rules, offering all-in-one store and product management tools without the financial burden.
Unlike Shopify or Wix, where merchants must manually create or import products, xTago offers a daily-updated product database. This ensures that retailers, especially in FMCG, groceries, and fast-moving categories, can access ready-to-use product data instantly.
- Benefit: Eliminates manual data entry.
- Competitor gap: Shopify/Wix require custom builds (£520–£980 one-time).
Inventory is the heartbeat of retail. When stock isn’t synced across online and offline channels, the result is overselling, lost sales, and unhappy customers.
- xTago: Offers offline + online inventory management, complete with expiry date tracking for perishable products.
- Competitor cost: £4,800–£5,200 for inventory sync, plus another £5,000 for expiry tools if built custom.
For sectors like food, beverages, and health, expiry tracking isn’t optional—it’s a compliance and customer safety issue. With xTago, it’s simply included.
Finance and operations often require third-party software, adding yet another integration headache.
- xTago: Includes offline + online accounting tools and even an AI Store Manager agent to automate tasks like reordering, pricing, and stock checks.
- Shopify/Wix/Custom Devs: Typically £5,000+ per integration.
By embedding these functions into one platform, xTago reduces reliance on external accountants and manual bookkeeping for SMEs.
The Verdict
Retailers are tired of patchworking together apps, plugins, and dev contracts. The cost is high, the setup is messy, and the results rarely scale.
xTago’s approach is disruptive: bundle enterprise-grade store and product management tools into one low monthly subscription (£49), backed by a one-time £500 setup fee.
In an industry where Shopify merchants often pay £10,000+ in hidden development costs, xTago is positioning itself as the “smarter retail engine”—built for businesses that want less stress and more growth.
