Retail shops

Spend less time on the back office and more time on the floor.

Orders typed into two places, stock numbers that don’t match, a Google listing that doesn’t show what’s on your shelves. We take that work off your plate and keep the details lined up.

Someone searches nearby. Your listing and your site say the same thing.Example with made-up data

What we do

What we do for retail shops.

The monthly workbook ready for review, a site that sells the store, and a Google listing that matches it.

  • The monthly sales-tax workbook

    The workbook fills itself in from the month’s bills and sales rows, ready for review. It’s the workbook, not the filing.

    Bookkeeping & reporting automation
  • A website, hosted and kept up

    The site stays online and secure, and small changes come in by email, like new hours or a new service.

    Websites & hosting
  • Search and the Google Business Profile

    The profile, the site and the listings say the same thing, so Maps and AI answers get the details right.

More we can build

More we can build for your store.

Each one is scoped to how your business actually runs, starting with the free audit.

  • A stock check between your register and your online store

    A short list each day of items where the two don’t match, so you catch it before a customer does.

    Workflow automation
  • Vendor invoices into your books

    Invoice lines entered into your accounting software instead of retyped, with someone in your office checking each one first.

    Bookkeeping & reporting automation
  • What sold and what’s running low

    A list each week of what sold, what’s running low and what hasn’t moved, built from the numbers you already export.

    Workflow automation
  • Products and pickup on your Google profile

    Your hours, pickup options and the products you want people to find kept up to date on your Google profile, with a short list of photos worth adding.

    Online visibility
  • A posting plan your team can follow

    A simple monthly list of what to post and when, built around new arrivals, sales and events. Your team posts from it.

    Online visibility
  • A look at how an order becomes a number in your books

    Not sure where to start? We follow one order from the sale to the books and point out the steps worth automating.

What’s out there

What other providers already offer retail shops.

Here’s what other providers already offer businesses like yours. If you already use some of it, we work with those tools and fill the gaps between them.

  • Point of sale with inventory

    Platforms like Shopify POS update inventory with each sale and keep stock in step across online and in-store sales.

  • Free local listings from Google

    Google’s free local listings can show a store’s in-store products to nearby shoppers, and Merchant Center connects the inventory.

  • Products and pickup on the Business Profile

    Google lets retailers list products, show pickup options like curbside, and post updates about discounts and new items from their Business Profile.

  • Loyalty programs tied to email

    Loyalty apps like LoyaltyLion connect to email platforms such as Klaviyo, so points and tiers can show up in a store’s marketing emails.

  • Local SEO for retailers

    Agencies work on the Google Business Profile, location-based keywords, on-page SEO and review management for retail businesses.

Questions

What owners ask first.

All questions

Do I have to switch the software I use now?

Usually not. We connect the tools you already have, like your CRM, accounting software, and supplier portals, instead of asking you to switch.

What bookwork can you automate?

The bookkeeping tasks someone in your office does by hand every week or month: entering numbers from invoices, bills, and receipts, filling the same monthly spreadsheets, and pulling reports together from the systems you already use.

Are you a CPA? Do you do taxes?

No. StreamTec isn't a CPA firm, and we don't prepare tax returns or give tax advice. We automate the bookwork so your staff, and your accountant, start from clean, current numbers.

What's the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO is showing up in Google search and on Maps. AEO, or answer engine optimization, is showing up in the answers AI tools give, like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews, when someone asks who to call. The work overlaps a lot: clear pages, accurate listings, and good structured data help with both.

Where do your numbers get typed in twice?

Tell us, and we’ll send back a short written plan of what we’d take off your plate first. Free, and yours to keep.
