Automation & Tools
Disconnected tools and repetitive tasks waste time and create mistakes. We design custom workflows and integrations that move the right information to the right place, giving your team back the hours spent re-keying data and chasing errors.
Illustrative map of an example store's connected systems: Shopify in the centre, linked to a warehouse (orders out, tracking numbers back), a supplier stock feed (stock levels every 15 minutes), a help desk (order details on each ticket), accounting (paid orders, refunds and payouts, with one refund flagged for review), a team channel (low-stock alerts) and a scheduled exceptions report each morning. Every link shows when it last ran. Example data, not a client's systems.
Illustrative example · example systems, not a client'sOrders, stock and product data move between systems without someone copying them across by hand.
Fewer mistakes from re-keying, and the ones that do happen are logged and flagged rather than discovered by a customer.
Staff time goes on work that needs judgement, not on routine transfers between Shopify and your other tools.
Illustrative automation monitor for an example store: five automations with their last run, runs today and status. Four ran as expected; the accounting hand-off shows one failed run, expanded to show that a refund could not be posted because a tax code was missing, that the error was logged, the finance team notified, and the run will be retried after the fix. Example data, not a client's.
Illustrative example · example data, not a client'sThese are illustrative examples of the kind of work we can scope and build. They are not descriptions of completed client projects; anonymised completed work is shown in our case studies.
Illustrative example
New Shopify orders are sent to a warehouse or fulfilment provider's system, tracking numbers are written back to the order, and any order that fails to transfer is flagged to your team within minutes rather than being noticed days later.
Illustrative example
A supplier's stock file or API is checked on a schedule, Shopify inventory is updated, and products that drop to zero are hidden or switched to back-order automatically.
Illustrative example
Paid orders, refunds and payouts are posted to your accounting system with the right tax treatment, so month-end reconciliation starts from matching numbers.
Illustrative example
Each morning your team receives a short list of orders needing attention: unfulfilled past the agreed window, failed payments, address problems or stock that oversold.
We map the current process, identify failure points, define the data flow and implement an integration with appropriate error handling and access controls. An integration you can't see into is a liability, so visibility of what ran and what failed is part of the design.
We write down what happens today, step by step, including the workarounds, and where it goes wrong.
Which records move, in which direction, how often, and what should happen when a system is unavailable.
Error handling, retries where they are safe, and the least access each system needs.
Logs, a run history and alerts, so you can see what ran, what failed and why, without asking us.
Often yes, provided suitable APIs or supported data access are available. We'll assess feasibility before committing.
Not necessarily. The architecture depends on your requirements, available APIs and ongoing maintenance needs.
Monitoring, logs and alerts can be included in the agreed scope.
