Where does your company stand today?
Where the greatest value lies
Impact × Effort × Feasibility.
What will be implemented, when, with what, and by whom?
Almost anyone can try out ChatGPT today. The real competitive advantage comes from systematically integrating AI into processes, systems, and daily work. To achieve this, three questions must be answered:
We analyze your processes and identify exactly those use cases with the greatest economic potential.
We define clear workflows – from the tools to human oversight – so that processes become reliably repeatable.
We establish clear responsibilities and a roadmap to gradually transfer successful pilot processes to other areas.
We do not come from traditional AI consulting, but from operational e-commerce. That is why we identify use cases that fit your existing setup – and can subsequently implement them together with your team.

We analyze your current work processes and tools to identify manual work and recurring tasks, for example in the following areas:
AI use across the team · Content · Product data · Marketing · CRM · Customer Service · Reporting · Internationalization · Operations
a prioritized AI Use Case Matrix that visualizes benefits, effort, requirements, and implementation priority.
We evaluate which of the new AI-driven Shopify features are relevant for your business and prepare your setup accordingly:
Shopify Sidekick · Shopify Magic · AI-powered reports · Shopify Flow · Sidekick Skills · AI-enabled apps · Agentic storefronts · AI product search · Product data for AI discovery
a concrete Shopify AI Readiness Plan with the features and measures that are actually relevant to your business.
Because the greatest gains in productivity come from better processes, we develop concrete and repeatable target workflows for you, for example for:
Product content and SEO · Translations and localization · Product data quality · Campaign planning · CRM and email · Reporting and analytics · Customer service · Data validation · Internal routines
clearly defined AI workflows and selected pilot processes that your team can use to put the new way of working into practice.
To ensure that AI scales within the company and does not depend on the knowledge of individuals, we define the guardrails for your team together:
Which tools do we use for what purpose? What data may be used? Which results must be verified? Where is human oversight required in the approval process? Who is responsible for which AI processes? How do we document successful workflows? How do we measure whether a use case actually works?
