The Problem

Your operations are holding you back

Custom Ordering Workflows That Shopify Can’t Handle

Your business doesn’t sell like a standard ecommerce store. Maybe your customers need measurement-based ordering, or your production is just-in-time, or you run B2B wholesale alongside DTC. Shopify’s default checkout wasn’t built for this — so your team fills the gaps with manual workarounds.

Manual Processes Drowning Your Team

Spreadsheets track orders. Someone copy-pastes data between three systems every morning. Customer service has no visibility into order status without digging through emails. Every new hire means more manual training, not more capacity.

Disconnected Systems That Don’t Talk to Each Other

Your ERP doesn’t sync with your 3PL. Your CRM doesn’t know what your Shopify store knows. Payment and shipping data lives in different tabs. Every decision requires pulling data from four sources and reconciling it manually.
How We Work

Operations transformation, not just development

1

Audit Current Workflows

We map every process, every system, and every manual workaround your team uses. Where does data enter? Where does it break? Where do humans do work that machines should handle?

2

Design Custom Systems

Based on the audit, we architect the right infrastructure: Django backends for complex logic, custom Shopify apps for storefront integration, API orchestration to connect your systems.

3

Build & Integrate

Your CX dashboards go live with real-time data. ERP and 3PL integrations start syncing automatically. Factory workflows trigger based on orders, not emails. Your team watches their daily workload shrink.

4

Ongoing Partnership

Operations don’t freeze after launch. Your business evolves - new products, new channels, new complexity. We stay as your business engineering partner, building new integrations and refining automations.

What We Build

The full operations stack

Custom Ordering Systems

Measurement-based ordering, just-in-time production, B2B wholesale, and custom checkout flows — built for the way your customers actually buy.

CX Dashboards & Reporting

Real-time visibility into orders, customers, fulfillment status, and operational performance. Your team sees everything in one place.

ERP/3PL Integrations

Connected inventory, fulfillment, accounting, and logistics. Your ERP and 3PL sync with Shopify automatically. Stock levels, order routing, and invoicing happen without human intervention.

Factory & Supplier Workflows

Production automation, supplier portals, and order routing. When a customer places an order, your factory knows about it in minutes - not hours.

Process Automation

Eliminate the manual tasks your team hates: data entry, status updates, order routing, customer notifications. Every automated process means capacity without headcount.

Custom Apps & API Orchestration

Django backends, custom Shopify apps, and third-party API integrations. When no off-the-shelf app does what you need, we build it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if we already have a Shopify store?

Most of our operations clients do. We work with your existing store — we don’t tear it down and start over. We audit your current setup, map the operational gaps, and build the backend systems and integrations that your storefront needs.

How long does an operations transformation take?

Most clients see their first automations live within 4–6 weeks. A full operations infrastructure build typically takes 8–16 weeks. We deliver value incrementally — you don’t wait months for the first improvement.

Can you integrate with our existing ERP/3PL?

Yes. We’ve built 100+ integrations across ERP systems, 3PLs, CRMs, payment processors, and shipping platforms. If your system has an API, we can connect it. If it doesn’t, we’ve worked around that too.

What’s the difference between this and a Shopify agency?

A Shopify agency builds your storefront. We build everything behind it — the ordering logic, the dashboards, the integrations, the automations. Think of it this way: Shopify is the front door. We build the entire house.

Do you work with non-Shopify platforms?

Our primary ecommerce platform is Shopify, but our operations infrastructure (Django backends, custom apps, API orchestration) is platform-agnostic. If your operations challenge is complex regardless of platform, we can likely help.

What does an ongoing partnership look like?

It looks like having a technical team that knows your business inside and out. Monthly strategy calls, continuous optimization, new integrations as your needs evolve, and rapid response when something breaks or an opportunity appears. Our longest operations partnership is 4+ years and counting.
