Engage them together for full coverage, or individually as a targeted augment to your team. Every line is scorecarded, documented, and designed to run without heroics.
Live chat, email, and phone support that ships delight at scale. We hire, train, and quality-check every agent on your brand voice, product catalog, and escalation policy.
Typical coverage: US business hours,
optional 24/7.
Typical volume: 200–2000
tickets/week per brand.
Always-on chat on your storefront, routed to trained agents who know your SKUs, shipping windows, and refund policy cold. Chatbot-assist optional but never front-line.
First-response target under 2 hours in US business hours. Helpdesk hygiene: clean tagging, follow-up loops, macro library reviewed monthly.
Direct line for high-AOV customers, retention saves, and escalations. Voicemail-to-ticket with same-day callback, queue visible in the ops dashboard.
Onboarding includes catalog study, voice calibration, and mock-ticket review. Tone matches yours, not a generic helpdesk cadence.
Weekly ticket-sample review, monthly CSAT calibration, quarterly policy audit. QA findings feed directly into the monthly business review.
Monthly review of the top-10 root causes, refund drivers, and shippable product/site fixes — not just CSAT scores and "we're doing great."
We don't pretend to be a warehouse. We run the operational layer on top of your 3PL so orders, returns, and inventory move predictably — and exceptions get caught before the customer complains.
Runs on top of: ShipBob, ShipHero,
ShipStation, your in-house 3PL.
Geography: US domestic + basic
cross-border US ↔ CA / US ↔ EU.
Weekly ops sync with your 3PL, published scorecard (on-time ship %, miscount rate, RMA turnaround), and a single point of contact when something slips.
Address validation failures, carrier holds, stuck labels, lost packages — triaged and resolved before the support queue notices they exist.
Stock-out alerts, velocity-based reorder points, and a par-sheet we review weekly so you buy the right depth at the right moment.
Clean returns portal, fraud filters, refurb-vs-refund rules, monthly cost-of-returns reporting. Returns are an input, not an afterthought.
BFCM, product drops, PR spikes. We load-test the fulfillment path 30 days out, staff for the peak, and run the war-room during.
Carrier claim filing, recovery tracking, and monthly reconciliation so the claims that should be paid actually get paid.
The boring work that keeps revenue from leaking: uptime monitoring, performance checks, analytics hygiene, and the small integrations that stop being "small" the moment they break on a weekend.
Works with: Shopify, BigCommerce,
WooCommerce, headless.
Budget targets: LCP < 2.5s,
CLS < 0.1.
Synthetic checks against checkout, PDP, cart, and critical email flows. Pages a human in five minutes, not a Pingdom dashboard nobody reads.
Monthly LCP, INP, CLS review against a budget. Fixes prioritized by revenue impact. We don't chase 100 Lighthouse scores; we chase faster checkouts.
GA4, server-side tagging, post-purchase surveys, UTM discipline. No more "attribution looks weird this week" conversations.
Klaviyo ↔ Shopify ↔ 3PL flows mapped and instrumented. Fewer Zapier duct-tape runs that break on the ops person's vacation.
When something breaks, you get one page, one owner, one post-mortem — and the SOP update that stops the repeat.
10DLC registration, consent disclosures, cookie-banner sanity, privacy policy diffs. The small things that become lawsuits when ignored.
A monthly operating cadence borrowed from companies twice your size. We standardize the numbers your team actually looks at, surface the exceptions, and keep everyone rowing the same direction.
Formats: Notion, Google Sheets, or
embedded dashboard.
Cadence: Weekly, monthly, quarterly.
CX SLAs, fulfillment health, inventory risk, storefront reliability — one page, shared link, Monday morning. No logins, no PDFs.
90-minute session walking the month: wins, misses, top-3 fixes, experiment list for the next 30 days. Action items tracked to done.
Hiring plan, 3PL capacity review, tooling audit, written roadmap. We handed it to you. We hold ourselves to it.
Every SOP, integration diagram, and escalation path lives in your shared workspace — not ours. You own the knowledge, always.
Operations page for your monthly board deck, if you have one — in the format your investors already read.
When you need an operator's read on a specific decision — not a slide deck and an invoice — we scope short engagements with clear outputs and no retainer strings.
Format: Fixed-fee, 2–6 weeks.
Output: Written deliverable, not a
PowerPoint.
Two-week engagement. Review your stack, team, and playbooks. Deliver a prioritized fix list with effort-vs-impact map and a 90-day plan.
Shortlist, RFP template, pricing review, and migration oversight so you don't lose Q4 to a bad warehouse move.
Right-sized helpdesk, agent headcount, and shift pattern for your volume, AOV, and SLA target. Includes hiring spec and onboarding plan.
BFCM, product launches, PR moments. Walk the ops stack, load-test customer paths, staff for the peak, and run the scenario playbook.
When you're between a VP hire, we step in for 60–90 days. Runs the weekly, keeps the lights on, and briefs the eventual hire.
One or more service lines, flat monthly fee, named accountable lead. 30-day pilot, then 60-day rolling commitment.
Bounded scope, clear deliverable, fixed fee. No retainer strings. Typical engagements: ops audit, 3PL migration, BFCM readiness.
Fractional ops leadership for 60–90 days, usually bridging to a VP of Ops hire. We keep the lights on and brief your eventual leader.
