Megway technology

The software that turns a shop into a connected Megway store.

Megway has built a practical operating platform around the work happening in its founding Northampton store. It connects the counter, back office, customer portal, local website and developing network instead of leaving each operator to assemble separate systems.

Explained from the current software and live workflows—not a future concept or an off-the-shelf white-label claim.

Software built around the real work.

Every area below exists in the current platform. Core functions support store operations; account-based modules appear only when the service, user and location are approved for them.

01
Store control centre
Core platform

Run the whole store from one operating workspace.

Start the day with parcels, revenue, profit, active mailboxes, support work and low-stock alerts visible in one permission-controlled dashboard.

One place for today’s work, management controls and follow-up.

02
Parcel booking engine
Core platform

Quote, compare and book approved courier services.

Move through a guided journey covering shipment details, live services, sender, receiver, customs, collection or drop-off, review and label generation.

A repeatable counter workflow from customer request to shipping documents.

03
Customer & business portal
Core platform

Give customers a useful account after they leave the store.

Customers and business clients can view invoices, pay online, search parcel history, track shipments, download labels or receipts and raise support tickets.

Self-service for routine questions, with the store still connected when help is needed.

04
Mailbox management
Core platform

Manage the full mailbox relationship, not just the application.

Handle applications, document and identity status, mailbox allocation, subscriptions, payments, renewals, customer requests and mail collection notices.

A clear record from first application through active service and renewal.

05
Inventory & finance
Core platform

Know what the store sold, what it earned and what needs restocking.

Record purchases and counter sales, calculate stock and profit, flag low inventory, extract invoice lines and review permission-controlled revenue, costs and expenses.

Operational numbers connected to the services and stock that produced them.

06
Website & marketing tools
Core platform

Give every approved location a professional digital storefront.

Support local service discovery with a branded website, then manage SEO, articles, banners, testimonials, social content, campaigns, customer email and live chat.

Customer acquisition tools connected to the operation they are promoting.

07
Fulfilment & business accounts
Enabled for approved accounts

Serve repeat business and fulfilment clients with structured workflows.

Configure business pricing and billing, manage invoices and messages, receive fulfilment stock, track SKU variants, verify labels and progress orders through picking to dispatch.

Repeat customer work remains visible beside the wider store operation.

08
Agent & network management
Network platform

Support agents, staff and head office through the same platform.

Give agents a focused portal for shipments, tickets, earnings, commission, exceptions and referrals while head office manages access, settlements and network records.

A scalable operating structure for more than one location type.

The store control centre

A practical view of the whole operation.

The same navigation connects the parcel desk, mailbox centre, customers, business accounts, fulfilment, reporting and settings. Staff permissions determine which areas and financial information each person can access.

Guided day-to-day workflows with staff PINs and permissions, including restricted access to sensitive financial information.

A branded portal for invoices, online payment, parcel history, labels, tracking, support and account-enabled services.

What the platform changes
