Technology

Retail-grade infrastructure — engineered for speed and trust.

Fashion Now plugs into the systems retailers already run — POS, e-commerce, and inventory. We're built to complement that stack, not replace it. The excitement lives in the retailer experience; the engineering choices are boring on purpose.

Stack at a glance

Runtime

React + edge-rendered stack

Data

Postgres · row-level security

Real-time

Subscription bus for status + tracking

Integrations

Webhook-first · polling fallback

Modern web platform

React on the edge — server-rendered where it matters, fast on desktop and on the sales floor.

Real-time orchestration

Subscription bus propagates fulfillment, dispatch, and tracking updates in real time across retailer, customer, and courier views.

Retailer integrations

Webhook-first with polling fallback. Designed to plug into existing POS, commerce, and inventory systems — never replace them.

Security posture

Low-level authorization on every data surface. Payment flows through PCI-DSS compliant providers. Least-privilege by default.

Continuous delivery

Small, safe, reversible changes shipped continuously — with observability across the platform surface.

Operational telemetry

Dispatch latency, request-to-doorstep time, and platform health measured. Same-day is a promise, not a hope.

Standards

The posture we design against.

  • PCI-DSS

    Payment flows are designed around compliant providers. Fashion Now never stores card numbers.

  • Data minimization

    Retailers see only the data they need to fulfill a request. Customers control their profile.

  • Access control

    Low-level authorization on customer, fulfillment, and retailer data.

  • Availability

    Cloud-native, horizontally scalable services with regional redundancy on the roadmap.

  • Compliance roadmap

    SOC 2 posture is on the roadmap ahead of scale. We'll only claim it when it's real.
