Stop Doing Work a Machine Should Handle
Syncing Shopify orders to QuickBooks by hand. Copying leads from your contact form into your CRM. Pulling numbers from three spreadsheets to build a weekly report. You know this is costing you time—we'll make it stop.
Sound familiar?
You're Losing Hours Every Week to Busywork
These tasks feel like part of the job. They're not. They're a tax on your time—and every hour you spend on them is an hour you're not spending on your actual business.
Every new Shopify order triggers a chain of manual steps.
You log into QuickBooks. You create the invoice. You update your inventory spreadsheet. You email the customer a confirmation. Then you do it again for the next order.
Automation fix: One Shopify order → everything else happens automatically.
Your weekly report takes half a day to build.
Pull from Google Sheets. Pull from your CRM. Pull from the payment processor. Copy the numbers into the template. Format it. Email it out. Every. Single. Week.
Automation fix: Report builds and sends itself every Monday at 8am.
New leads sit in your inbox until someone manually adds them.
Contact form submissions. Trade show badge scans. Webinar registrations. They pile up, get entered late, sometimes get missed entirely. Your CRM is always a few days behind.
Automation fix: Every lead lands in your CRM within 60 seconds of submitting.
Inventory numbers are out of sync across your systems.
Your Shopify store shows one count. Your warehouse system shows another. Your Amazon listing shows a third. You're manually reconciling them daily, and still selling items you don't have.
Automation fix: One sale anywhere updates inventory everywhere in real time.
The math
What is 10 hours a week actually costing you?
If your time is worth $75/hour, 10 manual hours per week costs you $39,000 per year—not counting errors, delays, or the work you didn't get to. A custom automation that eliminates that work typically pays for itself inside 60 days.

Deliverables
What We Build
Custom automation built for your exact workflow—not off-the-shelf Zapier templates that break when your data gets slightly unusual.
- Tool-to-tool data sync.
- Shopify to QuickBooks. HubSpot to Google Sheets. Typeform to your CRM. Any two systems that should talk to each other but don't.
- Automated reports and summaries.
- Pull from Google Sheets, your CRM, or any data source and generate a formatted report on a schedule. Daily, weekly, monthly—it sends itself.
- Email and notification workflows.
- Trigger personalized emails, Slack alerts, or SMS when something happens in your system. New order, late payment, form submission—set it and forget it.
- Support ticket routing.
- Automatically tag, assign, and prioritize incoming support requests based on content, customer tier, or any rule you define. No more triaging by hand.
- Inventory syncing across platforms.
- Sell on Shopify, Amazon, and your own site? One system of record, automatically updated everywhere. No more overselling inventory you don't have.
- Error handling and monitoring built in.
- If something breaks, you get notified before it becomes a problem. Automatic retries for transient failures. No silent data loss.

Common questions
"What if Something Breaks?"
It's a fair question. Here's how we handle it.
- Every automation includes alerting.
- If a sync fails or an error occurs, you get notified immediately. You're never flying blind.
- Retries are automatic.
- Most failures are temporary—an API hiccup, a timeout. The automation retries automatically before surfacing the error to you.
- We test with real data before you go live.
- We run your automation alongside your manual process for at least a week. You verify the output before flipping the switch.
- Fixes are fast and included.
- If something breaks in the 60 days after launch, we fix it at no charge. We built it, we stand behind it.
