$4M retail + ecommerce business, what stack would you run?

I run a family-owned retail + ecommerce business doing around $3–5M/year.

We’ve got:

•	\~20k SKUs

•	physical store + warehouse

•	Shopify for online

•	mix of retail + trade (B2B customers at the counter, invoicing, etc)

•	a few staff across sales + warehouse

Our current system is old and starting to break under scale, so we’re planning a full rebuild of the stack.

Main things we care about:

•	strong inventory + purchasing (lots of suppliers, constant ordering)

•	clean POS workflow for both retail + trade customers

•	something that doesn’t fall apart as we grow

•	minimal double handling / workarounds

•	ideally not stitching together 10 different tools

We’re happy to invest properly if it actually solves problems, but not interested in paying for enterprise bloat we don’t need.

Long term I also want to build some internal tools around it, so flexibility matters.

If you were in this position, what stack would you run and why?

Would love to hear from anyone operating at a similar scale.
