30-Day Ops Automation Sprint · Done-With-You

Take 15+ Hours a Week of Manual Ops Off Your Team in 30 Days.

A fixed-price, done-with-you engineering sprint for $2M–$10M Shopify brands. We build 3 automations with your team in 2 hours a week, measure them against a baseline we record on day 1, then hand over 100% of the code.

✓

3 production automations, built and handed over

✓

Measured against your own day-1 baseline

✓

Logging, retries and alerting on every workflow

✓

SOPs, runbooks and Loom training for your team

Fixed scope. Limited to 4 Sprint slots per quarter.

Your Ops Team Is Copy-Pasting Between Shopify, Your 3PL and Spreadsheets.

Manual inventory reconciliation, order exceptions, supplier POs, "where is my order" tickets and month-end reporting add up fast. At a loaded cost of around $60 an hour:

15 hrs/week × $60/hr = $46,800 a year

An illustration. Use your own hours and rates. We'll measure them properly in Week 1.

The Baseline-Build-Handover Method

Four Weeks. Named Deliverables. Two Hours of Your Time a Week.

This isn't a course that gives you homework, and it's not an open-ended agency contract. It's a fixed-scope, "done-with-you" build. We record the baseline, build with logging and retries, go live, and leave you with SOPs and the code.

Week 1

Baseline & Build Spec

A time study of the tasks being automated, a systems map and a build spec you sign off. This is the baseline every result is measured against.

Your time: 2 hrs
Weeks 2–3

Build 3 Production Workflows

For example inventory sync across Shopify and your 3PL, PO automation, order-exception routing or helpdesk triage. Each includes logging, retries and alerting.

Your time: 2 hrs/week
Week 4

Go-Live & Handover

Go-live, SOPs and runbooks, Loom training for your team, and a handover of all code and credentials.

Your time: 2 hrs
Days 31–60

Hypercare

30 days of post-launch support, plus 3 months of Ops Vault access so your team can keep building.

Included

You Pick 3 From Your Ops Teardown Roadmap

Typical Sprint builds, grouped by function. Your Teardown ranks the leaks in your own stack by hours and dollars, and we start with the biggest.

Inventory & 3PL

Shopify to 3PL stock sync with mismatch alerts, so oversells stop at the source.

POs & Suppliers

Reorder-point detection that drafts purchase orders and supplier emails automatically.

Order Exceptions

Address, fraud-flag and stock exceptions routed to the right person with full context.

Customer Support

Helpdesk triage and 'where is my order' resolution, with a human in the loop for anything sensitive.

Finance & Reporting

Daily contribution-margin and order-reconciliation reports pulled from Shopify, ad platforms and your accounting tool.

Catalog & Feeds

Self-healing multi-channel product feeds that alert you when something breaks.

Why Done-With-You?

You Can't Do It Alone. You Shouldn't Trust a Hands-Off Agency.

The people who run your ops know the edge cases. We bring the engineering. Two hours a week of live building sessions with your ops lead is how the automations end up matching how your business really works, and how your team knows how to run them afterwards.

The Promise

✓

3 automations that save 15+ hours a week against your day-1 baseline

✓

You give 2 hours a week; we build the system live together

✓

No homework between sessions

✓

100% of the code and credentials handed over. You own everything.

30-Day Ops Automation Sprint

Fixed Price. Fixed Scope. Measured Result.

For comparison: Shopify Plus agencies bill roughly $175–$300 an hour, and an in-house e-commerce operations manager averages around $125,000 a year in salary alone.

FIXED PRICE · 4 SLOTS PER QUARTER

30-Day Ops Automation Sprint

$14,500fixed. 50% at kickoff, 50% at go-live. Teardown fee credited.

Best for: Shopify and Shopify Plus brands doing $2M–$10M with a team doing ops, CX or finance tasks by hand.


  • ✓ Week 1 baseline time study, systems map and signed-off build spec
  • ✓ 3 production workflows with logging, retries and alerting
  • ✓ 2 hours a week of live building with your ops lead
  • ✓ Go-live, SOPs, runbooks and Loom training for your team
  • ✓ Full handover of code and credentials

Measured against your own baseline.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how we work and how we can help your Shopify store grow.

No. We build and test against staging first, use feature flags where it makes sense and keep a rollback path for every go-live. Workflows run alongside your current setup until you switch them over.
Two hours a week with your ops lead for live building and review sessions, plus admin or API access to the systems involved. We do the engineering.
You choose. Your team can run it with the SOPs and runbooks we hand over, with Vault access for further builds. A lighter Ops Care plan (monitoring plus a few hours a month) is available. For larger programs, there's the Ops Partner.
We build on open, widely used tools such as n8n and Shopify webhooks. Hosting and any third-party subscriptions are paid directly by you, so you own the accounts. We confirm the full list in Week 1.
ERP integration is scoped separately as an add-on, because it rarely fits inside a four-week Sprint.
That's why handover is built in. You get all the code, credentials, documentation and runbooks. Everything is built in your accounts, with no proprietary lock-in, so any competent developer can pick it up.
