Inventory and ERP, built around your business.

What is MERA?

MERA is an inventory management and ERP platform for trading businesses. It connects to your store and brings product, stock and sales data together with your purchasing costs. Use those figures to plan prices, choose suppliers, manage stock and decide when to reorder. Purchasing, goods receipt, stocktaking, shipping and invoicing are all part of the same system.

The difference is how MERA is built. It was designed as one platform from the start, not bolted onto twenty years of history, and it is developed with AI. Every figure means the same thing everywhere, every screen follows the same logic, and a request from the warehouse does not become a project with a quote and a waiting list.

MERA is a software platform by Hamburg-based KAZAKOV AI Labs.

Who MERA is built for

For businesses managing large product ranges that need a clear view of costs, stock and margins.

After launch, MERA will expand into other areas of trade. The automotive aftermarket is next in development.

Sales show what sold. MERA shows what it cost.

Sales figures alone will not tell you whether a product pays off. MERA brings purchase costs, additional expenses, stock and supplier lead times together, so you can make informed buying and pricing decisions.

How purchasing, stock, pricing and shipping work together

Twelve areas cover day-to-day operations, from purchasing and goods receipt through stock and pricing to shipping and invoicing. All of them use the same figures.

Pricing and margins

MERA calculates two price floors from actual costs. The short-term floor shows the lowest price you can charge in the short term. The long-term floor indicates when a product is no longer profitable over time — a signal to purchasing. MERA uses both to suggest prices, and you review and approve every change before it reaches your store.

Purchasing and goods receipt

Paste in the supplier invoice, scan items with your phone and confirm the quantities. Freight costs are allocated by item value, and every entry records who made it and when. If someone asks months later, the answer is still there.

Stock and stocktaking

Spot which products are running short and which have been sitting too long. Stocktaking happens on a phone, right where the goods are — no paper, no second device, with audible feedback on every scan.

Replenishment

MERA takes the demand forecast, the stock you have now and each supplier's lead time. Out of that come reorder suggestions you review, adjust and release — then the order goes out.

Shipping

MERA takes you from the order to the shipping label: picking list, shipping method, label. The despatch details then go back to your store — without anyone typing the same address twice.

Invoicing

MERA raises invoices from the order data you already have. VAT rate and the details the tax office expects are taken into account — from the same data your figures come from.

Figures that hold up

Short-term income statement in proper commercial order: gross sales, deductions, revenue, cost of goods, contribution margins. Every metric explained once and the same everywhere.

Assortment and collections

Brands, categories and collections in one place — and the order in your store no longer by hand: MERA sorts collections by what actually sells and proposes the change instead of forcing it.

An eye on the market

Import competitor prices, compare them including shipping and put them next to your own calculation. No blind undercutting: the price floor stays the floor, even when the market goes below it.

Devices in the warehouse

Handhelds, packing stations and label printers stay enrolled once they are set up. Staff sign in and out with a short PIN. Every booking records who made it and on which device.

Data from other systems

What comes from outside — price lists, delivery notes, advertising costs, payments — arrives through checked connectors: traceable, repeatable, and never the same line twice.

Control access, trace every change

Set who may see and do what, down to a single card on a screen. Every booking leaves a record, and the interface speaks German, English, Russian and Ukrainian — on desktop, phone and handheld.

Shopify integration

Your store stays your store. MERA brings the truth behind it.

MERA connects to Shopify and brings products, stock and sales together with purchasing, costs and planning. So you see not only what sold, but what it earned.

Nothing goes back without your approval. Price and stock changes collect into a batch and are shown to you before anything is sent. You strike out what does not fit. Only after you release it does MERA write the changes to your store.

More ecommerce platforms follow after launch. We will name them once they are available.

Built around real operations

Developed for the work retailers actually do.

A bookseller with more than 5,000 products uses MERA every day, and MERA is built alongside that work: goods receipt at the pallet, stocktaking on a phone, purchase planning with real lead times. What does not work in the warehouse does not go into the software.

An in-house use case, not an independent customer testimonial.

Built with AI. That is why it moves this fast.

The familiar systems grew over fifteen or twenty years: every requirement was bolted on, which is why every screen looks different and an extra feature becomes a project with a quote and a waiting list. MERA was designed in one go and is built with AI. That changes not only how the system looks, but how fast it grows.

“Built with AI” means AI-assisted development. It does not mean the software makes business decisions on its own. Where MERA calculates, you decide.
