Operations automation for product brands
A connected view of stock across your warehouses. Reorder workflows built around your lead times. Less repetitive spreadsheet work.
An independent service proposition for Shopify product businesses doing £1–10m, with stock split across UK, EU or US warehouses.
The problem
The problem, if it's yours
Your bestseller is out of stock in the US while the EU warehouse holds four months of it. Shopify says one number, the 3PL portal says another, and the spreadsheet that decides your next purchase order says a third. Somebody on your team spends hours every week ferrying numbers between systems, and reorders still get triggered by a warehouse email or a customer complaint.
When tools are configured separately, stock information can diverge across regions. Someone then has to reconcile the systems manually, leaving less time for planning and customer delivery.
The system
What I do about it
I build the operations backbone in tools you already understand: Airtable for stock visibility, connected to supported Shopify and 3PL data sources, with reorder points based on sales velocity and lead times. Alerts flag low stock for review, and dashboards support planning. Integrations, sync frequency and reporting are agreed around your data and operating needs.
Single source of truth
Airtable connected to the Shopify and 3PL sources agreed in scope.
Per-region reorder points
Calculated from real sales velocity and real lead times.
Low-stock alerts
Configured thresholds flag stock for review and replenishment planning.
The Monday dashboard
Stock cover, fulfilment performance and cash tied up in stock, per region.
Try the demo build
This interactive front-end demonstration uses invented numbers for a fictional home fragrance brand with UK, EU and US warehouses. It illustrates inventory and reorder calculations; it is not connected to live Shopify or 3PL accounts. A client implementation would be configured and tested against its own data.
