What we found

Nobody started a brand to answer "where's my order?"

What we found after auditing 1,124 US brands that sell through their own Shopify store, from teams of a few people to teams of about 200.

Customers

The inbox fills with the same few questions: where is my order, can I change the address, which one should I get, when is it back. Each answer means opening the order, then the tracking, and the questions grow with every order.

Stock

A best seller is down to its last few weeks. The reorder is still with the supplier, and their last few orders landed later than they said. Meanwhile the slow sellers are holding the cash.

Returns

Something comes back, arrives damaged or was the wrong one. Each needs a label or a replacement, then a refund or an exchange, and the reason the customer gave sits in the return request, a long way from the product page and the next reorder.

Wholesale

Stores that carry the brand email their orders from the line sheet. Each one comes out of the same stock the website sells, then needs packing, an invoice and often a reminder or two once the payment terms run out.

Holidays

From early November the calendar fills up: early access, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, gift guides, the last day to ship. Each email gets built and each discount set up in the store, and an email can still go out for something that sold out that morning.

Payouts

Money lands in lump sums from the store, the payment apps and any marketplace, net of fees and refunds. Matching it to orders, and working out what each product really earns after shipping and returns, waits for month end.

Next order

A first order runs late, and the question about it waits until Monday. One slow answer is often enough for a customer to try another brand next time.

Every order passes through the store, the inbox, the shelf, the carrier and the books, and each one holds its own piece of it. Customers don't pay more for any of that, and it grows with every order. That's where we'd start with AI.

The five systems

Five systems that pay off the most.

We ranked them by what we think each one is worth to a brand.

System 1

Reorder before your best sellers run out

Why it paysRunning out in the busiest weeks costs sales you can't win back, and every unit of a slow seller is cash sitting on a shelf. A better reorder moves both.

  • Works out the day each product runs out in every size and color, from the warehouse, your other channels and what stores already have on order.
  • Tracks every supplier order against the date it really lands, and drafts the follow-up when one slips.
  • Drafts the reorder to your rules and the supplier's minimums, costed to your door, with the margin on each channel and when the cash goes out.
  • Keeps the last units of a short item for your own store over the holidays, under the rule you set.

You stillSet the buying rules once and approve every reorder. Nothing goes to a supplier until you send the email.

System 2

Answer every customer the same day, with the team you have

Why it paysQuestions grow with every order, and one slow answer is often enough to lose the next one. Same-day answers keep those customers without another hire before the holidays.

  • Sorts every email, chat and Instagram message by topic, with the order and its tracking pulled up beside it.
  • Drafts each reply in your voice, ready for one approval.
  • Catches a size swap before the order is packed, and lines up the change with the reply.
  • Hands damaged items, public complaints, press and store inquiries to a person.

You stillApprove every reply and every order change before it goes. Damaged items and public complaints stay with a person.

System 3

Run every holiday send on stock you can ship

Why it paysEmail and text bring in a large share of holiday sales. A send that features something about to sell out, or a discount deeper than your margin allows, gives some of that back.

  • Drafts every email and text on your calendar, from early access to the last day to ship.
  • Checks each featured product against stock and incoming orders, and suggests a swap for anything about to sell out.
  • Checks every discount against your margin floor and the deepest discount you allow.

You stillApprove the calendar and every send. Nothing is scheduled until you say so.

System 4

Get returns back on sale, and fix what causes them

Why it paysA returned item earns nothing until it's back on sale, and the reasons customers give point at what to fix on the product page and in the next order.

  • Shows each return's reason and outcome, and whether the exchange is in stock.
  • Flags anyone past your return limit before a refund goes out.
  • Puts checked returns back on sale in one step.
  • Turns the reasons into a note for the product page and a change to the next order.

You stillSet the return rules once, look at anyone past your limit, and approve every product page note.

System 5

Ship store orders and get paid on time

Why it paysStores reorder all year, but their orders draw on the same stock as your website, and an unpaid invoice is cash you've already earned.

  • Checks every store order against the stock your website needs, and shows what ships now and what waits.
  • Lines up each order to accept, with short items backordered and the note to the store drafted.
  • Tracks what each store owes and drafts the next reminder when an invoice runs late.
  • Flags the stores that are due to reorder.

You stillAccept every order and send every email. You set the payment terms and what stores can take over the holidays.
