Shopify tells you how the store is doing. This agent owns the layer underneath: the master data that every system, trade sheet and automation runs on. It keeps your SKUs, costs, barcodes and vendors clean and reconciled across every place they live, so nothing drifts. Like everything I install, the goal is to hand it over and have you run it, with support there when you want it.
The problem
- Your SKUs, costs and barcodes live in four places and disagree
- Your trade sheet says one thing, Shopify another
- No single source of truth for recipe or lifecycle changes
- Nobody's sure what the current landed cost actually is
What it does
- Maintains your master SKU register and links every barcode
- Reconciles Shopify, trade sheets, invoices and anything you send, so it all matches
- Keeps live SKU counts ready for any automation you build
- Scans your inbox for changes and prompts you with questions
- Holds your classification rules (B2B vs DTC, and the rest)
- One source of truth for recipe and lifecycle changes your team can input
- Builds your vendor list and a landed cost per SKU from scanned invoices
The install
- Two weeks, done with you
- Week 1: pull every source together, build the master register, link barcodes, resolve conflicts
- Week 2: set your rules, wire the inbox scan and prompts, hand over
- Then ongoing: it keeps everything reconciled as products and suppliers change
Who it’s for
- Any Shopify brand whose SKU, cost, barcode and vendor data lives in too many places.
- Built for the spreadsheet stage: no ERP, no data hire, and sources multiplying faster than anyone can reconcile them.
- Brands selling DTC and wholesale who need their trade sheets and Shopify to agree.
- Teams building automations that need clean master data underneath them.
- The foundation the Supply Planning Agent builds on, if you go on to run both.
Shopify already covers store-performance reporting. This is the structural data layer that feeds everything else.
What you need
- A Shopify store and a spreadsheet workspace you own. Open to other systems, we can talk it through on the call.
- The places your data currently lives: trade sheets, supplier invoices, your inbox.
- Shopify admin access (read; write only where we agree fixes).
FAQs
Is this reporting or analytics?
No. Shopify covers store performance. This is the master data underneath it (SKUs, costs, barcodes, vendors, rules) that keeps every system and automation working from the same numbers.
What can it pull together?
Shopify, wholesale trade sheets, supplier invoices, your inbox, anything you send. It reconciles them so they never drift apart.
Can it track landed cost?
Yes. It can scan supplier invoices and maintain a landed cost per SKU, and build your vendor list with lead times along the way.
Is this software I'm buying?
No. It's built into accounts you own. Nothing of mine runs it and nothing I can switch off. The monthly fee buys my support.
How to start
The kit and installs open later this year.
Send me a line or two about your store and what's broken, and I'll come to you first when they open, with founding pricing for the first cohort.
