From manual commerce operations to a Shopify-connected system.

SENE Studio's products are made to measure. Every order needs a customer's specific measurements before anything is cut or assembled, and production only starts once an order is placed.

Before this system existed, a Shopify order triggered a chain of manual work: someone copied sizing details into a spreadsheet, someone else emailed the factory, and customer service checked order status by calling the warehouse directly. The storefront, the factory, the warehouse and the customer-service team each kept their own records, with no shared system connecting them.

That structure could not scale. Every additional order added the same manual steps as the last, and manual re-entry created room for error at each hand-off.

This account draws on our direct delivery experience with SENE Studio and internal project records. Figures describing revenue, order volume or time saved are not included here until they are confirmed and approved for publication.

• Spreadsheet-driven ordering Orders arrived through Shopify, then moved into spreadsheets by hand. Sizing data was retyped, reconciled and re-checked at every step.
• Fragmented systems The storefront, the factory, the warehouse and the customer-service team each worked from their own records, with no shared system connecting them.
• Manual coordination load Keeping orders moving took constant manual follow-up between teams, time that could have gone into product and customer experience instead.
• A structure that could not scale Each new order added the same manual steps as the last one. Growth meant more coordination work, not less.
