Situation

Luxe Atelier had scaled from £200k to £1.4m in two years on the back of strong product and word of mouth. Their operational infrastructure hadn't moved. Orders were being processed manually, returns were tracked in a spreadsheet, and their 3PL didn't integrate with Shopify. They were spending 40% of staff time on tasks that should have been automated.
