Automation & E-Commerce

E-Commerce Automation for Calgary Retailer

Implemented a comprehensive automation system for a local Calgary retailer, integrating their e-commerce platform with inventory management, email marketing, and customer support.

The Challenge

A growing local retailer was drowning in manual processes. Order confirmations, shipping notifications, inventory updates, and customer follow-ups were all handled manually, taking 20+ hours per week and leading to errors and delayed responses.

The Solution

We built a custom automation workflow using Make.com (formerly Integromat) that connected their Shopify store, inventory database, email marketing platform (Klaviyo), and customer support system. The workflow automatically: sends order confirmations and shipping updates, syncs inventory across platforms, triggers personalized email sequences based on customer behavior, creates support tickets for order issues, and generates weekly sales reports.

Results & Impact

Reduced manual processing time from 20 hours/week to 2 hours/week
Improved order fulfillment speed by 60%
Increased customer satisfaction scores from 3.8 to 4.7/5
Boosted repeat purchase rate by 35% through automated email campaigns
Eliminated inventory sync errors completely

"This automation has been a game-changer for our business. We can finally focus on what we do best while the system handles all the repetitive tasks flawlessly."

Content Creation

Complete Podcast Workflow Automation

Designed and implemented an end-to-end podcast production and distribution workflow for a popular Canadian marketing podcast.

The Challenge

A successful podcaster was spending 12+ hours per week on post-production tasks: editing audio, creating transcripts, generating social media posts, distributing to multiple platforms, and updating the website. This left little time for content creation and guest outreach.

The Solution

We created a sophisticated automation pipeline using n8n, AI APIs, and custom scripts. The workflow: automatically processes raw audio files, generates AI transcripts using Whisper API, creates show notes and social media posts using Claude AI, publishes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, updates the website blog automatically, schedules social media posts across platforms, and sends newsletters to subscribers with episode highlights.

Results & Impact

Reduced post-production time from 12 hours to 90 minutes per episode
Increased social media reach by 250% through consistent posting
Grew podcast audience by 180% in 6 months
Enabled weekly publishing schedule (previously bi-weekly)
Generated $15,000+ in saved time value annually

"I can now focus on creating great content and connecting with my audience instead of drowning in technical tasks. This automation literally gave me my life back."

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS Cloud Infrastructure for SaaS Startup

Migrated a growing SaaS application to AWS with auto-scaling, CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive monitoring.

The Challenge

A Calgary-based SaaS startup was experiencing rapid growth but their on-premise infrastructure couldn't scale. They faced frequent downtime during traffic spikes, slow deployment cycles (2-3 weeks), and no proper monitoring or disaster recovery plan. Their infrastructure costs were also spiraling out of control.

The Solution

We architected and implemented a complete AWS cloud solution using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). The solution included: containerized application using Docker and ECS Fargate, auto-scaling based on traffic patterns, CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment, RDS PostgreSQL with automated backups and multi-AZ setup, CloudFront CDN for global content delivery, comprehensive monitoring with Datadog and CloudWatch, and disaster recovery plan with cross-region backups.

Results & Impact

99.98% uptime achieved (up from 94%)
Deployment time reduced from weeks to minutes
Infrastructure costs reduced by 62% through optimization
Application performance improved by 4x
Successfully handled 10x traffic spike without issues
Recovery time objective (RTO) reduced from days to hours

"Their enterprise-level expertise applied to our startup was exactly what we needed. The infrastructure they built scales effortlessly and costs a fraction of what we were paying before."

Home Server & Self-Hosting

Privacy-Focused Home Server Solution

Built a complete home server solution for a privacy-conscious family, replacing multiple cloud subscriptions with self-hosted alternatives.

The Challenge

A tech-savvy family was paying $150+/month for various cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, Netflix-like streaming, password managers) and growing concerned about privacy and data ownership. They wanted to self-host but lacked the technical expertise to set it up securely and maintain it.

The Solution

We designed and deployed a Proxmox-based home server solution with: Nextcloud for file sync and storage (replacing Google Drive/Dropbox), Immich for photo management (Google Photos alternative), Jellyfin media server for streaming, Vaultwarden password manager, Home Assistant for smart home automation, Tailscale VPN for secure remote access, automated backup system to cloud storage, and ZFS storage with redundancy for data protection. Included full documentation and remote management support.

Results & Impact

Eliminated $150/month in subscription costs (ROI in 8 months)
Complete data privacy and ownership
Faster file access and sync than cloud services
10TB of storage vs. 2TB on cloud plans
Family members successfully using system daily
Zero downtime in 18 months of operation

"Not only did we save thousands per year, but we also gained complete control of our data. The system just works, and knowing our family photos and documents are secure gives us peace of mind."
