Your Business Is Growing.
Your Ops Can't Keep Up.
More products, more orders, more suppliers. Same spreadsheets, same manual counts, same you at 11pm. The ops that got you here can't get you further.
Nobody Likes Mondays. Yours Are Worse.
Every stop below is a real incident that lands on the founder when nobody owns the operation.
8:00 AM
You haven't had coffee. Inventory's already lying to you.
Three SKUs show sold out. At least one has stock in the warehouse. You make a note that joins forty others.
9:15 AM
The CFO wants numbers your count can't give.
Month-end counts are due. The last real count was eleven days and four deliveries ago. You reply "sending today."
10:40 AM
You're refunding customers your own store oversold.
Two SKUs oversold all weekend. Friday's count never reached the store. You start issuing refunds.
12:30 PM
The truck's here, and receiving it is somehow your job.
Fourteen SKUs, dozens of boxes, all checked against the PO by hand. That someone is you, or it's nobody.
1:15 PM
You paid for 2,000 units. Only 1,500 showed up.
The other 500, coming, damaged, or stuck at the depot? The manufacturer replies in two days.
2:15 PM
It launches tomorrow and doesn't exist in the system.
The new line was never assigned a SKU. Not in the system. Nobody's fault, which makes it yours.
3:00 PM
One photoshoot, and your count is pure fiction.
Marketing pulled ten pairs for a shoot and logged nothing. Samples sit at someone's house.
4:20 PM
Thirty-seven boxes, every label lying to you.
Thirty-seven boxes, all mislabeled. The only way to know is to open each one. The pickup already left.
5:30 PM
Customers found the defect before any log did.
A customer posts stains on the newest batch. There is no delivery log. You don't know how many shipped.
7:00 PM
Dinner with the family, Slack under the table.
Dinner. You check Slack under the table.
9:00 PM
Tonight's guess won't hurt until October.
You plan the next PO. Lead time is 90 days. Whatever's wrong tonight, you learn too late to fix.
Why This Is Your Tuesday
The brand scaled. The ops didn't.
You built a business that outgrew the way you were running it. The fix keeps getting pushed to the person who can least afford it → You.
You've outgrown spreadsheets
Your ops live in inventory_FINAL_v4.xlsx. Half the SKUs are already out of date.
You can't justify an ops hire yet
An ops hire runs $80–120K fully loaded. Too much fixed cost for too narrow a scope.
The ops work lands on you at 11pm
Approving POs after the kids are in bed. Chasing suppliers for lead times.
What It's Costing You
The margin doesn't leak. It drips.
Drag the slider → watch the cost grow
Revenue leaking / yr ~$140K
Hours Wasted
~20hrs/wk
Your week disappears into counts, POs, and supplier chasing. Work you'd never hire yourself for gets the best of your week.
Orders Oversold
~20days
You sold stock that wasn't on the shelf. The customer gets an apology, you refund the sale, and the ad spend that won it is gone.
Sales Lost
~$120Klost / yr
Your best products go dark the exact days customers came to buy. The waitlist doesn't wait. It goes shopping somewhere else.
Cash Trapped
~$110Ktrapped
Cash frozen in SKUs that won't move, bleeding holding costs monthly. The money for your next drop is aging on a shelf instead.
Stop the drip. Take the Monday back.

Monday Morning, Nothing's On Fire.
Counts, deliveries, POs, receipts. Your warehouse posts in Slack, we log every event into the tool, and you hear about it only when something needs a yes.
8:00 AM
Coffee first.
Counts reconciled overnight. Inbox is quiet. Nothing's waiting for you to fix.
9:15 AM
CFO already has the numbers.
Month-end tied out Friday. She's building forecast, not chasing you for a count.
12:30 PM
The truck came and went.
Ryan received it. We logged the shorts, pinged the supplier. You saw a one-line summary.
7:00 PM
Dinner. Phone in the other room.
Nothing pending needs you. Nobody's blocked. You built today.

Let's ChatHow We Plug-In
How we plug in depends on what you have. The outcome is the same: clean numbers, tight cadences, ops that run without you.
01
No Tools
Spreadsheets, Shopify exports, and memory? We centralize it into one source of truth and take over the cadences.
02
Existing Tools
We don't rip anything out. We connect what isn't talking, automate the manual steps, and own the function on your stack.
03
Existing Team
We don't replace your people. We take the recurring grind off their plate so they do the work that needs a human.
How We Communicate
Wherever your team already talks.
Slack, WhatsApp, Teams
One channel with everyone your ops touch: you, your operator, your 3PL, your suppliers. A count's off, a PO needs confirming, a shipment's short. It's flagged and handled in the thread, with the right people already there.
Tiered Pricing
Three tiers, priced by the complexity of your operation, channels, SKU count, locations, and how much of the function you hand us. Where you land depends on your store. Reach out and we'll place you in the right one.
Starter
$5,000/mo
Single channel, straightforward catalog, one location. We centralize your data, run the core cadences and own the function end to end.
Growth
$7,000/mo
Multichannel or 1-5 locations, medium SKU count, decent SKU velocity. Full managed operations plus forecasting and tighter reconciliation across your 3PL and suppliers.
Scale
$10,000/mo
Multiple channels, 5+ locations, high SKU count, high SKU velocity. The full function run on tight daily, weekly, and monthly cadences.

Read case study →Common Questions
We already have an operator. Why would we need you?
We're not a replacement, we're leverage. We take the recurring, senior-heavy work off your operator's plate such as forecasting, variance investigation, PO reconciliation, reporting, so they focus on what needs a person in the building. You get more capacity without another hire.
We already use inventory software. Do we have to switch?
No. We work with your existing tools, connect what isn't talking, and own the function on top of your stack. No migration, no rip-and-replace.
Why a retainer instead of project work or hourly?
Because ops isn't a project, it's a function that runs every week. Inventory counts, PO reconciliation, variance investigation, and reporting don't stop, they happen on a daily, weekly, and monthly cadence. A retainer is how you keep a senior operator on that function continuously, not in one-off bursts.
Isn't it cheaper to just hire someone in-house?
A full-time ops hire is slower to find, more expensive, and hard to scale back when things slow down. You also get one person's skill set. With us, you get a team that's already done this across multiple brands, for less than a senior salary, starting now.
How do you handle our data and supplier relationships?
Everything runs under a signed agreement covering scope, IP ownership, and data security. We disclose the tools we use, including AI, and your data stays yours. We work inside your systems, not around them.
What if we want to bring it in-house later?
That's fine. We build clean systems and documented workflows, so if you ever staff up internally, you're inheriting an organized function, not a black box. Most clients expand scope with us instead—but the door's never locked.
What size brand is this for?
Built for growing Shopify brands roughly in the $1M–$10M range—big enough that ops is breaking spreadsheets and a founder's memory, not yet big enough to justify a full in-house ops team.
