The Operating Layer

The foundation underneath both practices.

Whether you’re B2B or E-com, the operating layer is the same: clean data, connected tools, real margin visibility, and automation that replaces manual work.

Core Capabilities

Four systems that run everything.

Every engagement touches some or all of these. They work together — data flows between them, dashboards aggregate across them, and automation ties them into a single operating loop.

CRM & Sales Automation

HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Klaviyo, Omnisend, Postscript. Custom properties, lead scoring, workflows, integrations.

Profit Intelligence

Margin waterfall analysis. Per-SKU per-channel margin. CAC payback, LTV. Marketplace fees, ad spend, shipping, returns — all the way to net.

Analytics & Tracking

GA4, GTM, server-side tagging, Conversion API. Dashboards in Power BI, Looker, Data Studio. Weekly automated reports, monthly executive reviews.

Agentic Workflows

n8n, Make, Zapier. Custom Claude-powered agents for pricing, support routing, lead enrichment, anomaly detection, autonomous reporting.

Going Deeper

What “done” actually looks like.

Each capability has a specific toolset, a clear set of outcomes, and a definition of done that you can hold us to.

Capability 01

CRM & Sales Automation

Your CRM should be the single source of truth for every customer relationship — B2B pipeline and E-com lifecycle alike. We build it that way.

Tools we implement

HubSpot · Salesforce · Pipedrive · Close · Klaviyo · Omnisend · Postscript · ActiveCampaign · Drip

Outcomes

Custom deal/contact properties mapped to your business · Automated lead scoring that reflects real buying signals · Lifecycle workflows (welcome, nurture, win-back, churn risk) · Bi-directional integrations with your ad platforms, billing, and support tools

What “done” looks like

Every lead, deal, and customer record is clean, enriched, and flowing through automated stages. Your team stops doing data entry and starts selling.

Key deliverables

CRM architecture document · Custom property schema · Lead scoring model · Automated workflow library · Integration map · Team training session · SOPs for ongoing maintenance

Capability 02

Profit Intelligence

Revenue is vanity. Margin is sanity. We build the waterfall so you can see exactly where money enters and where it leaks out — per SKU, per channel, per customer.

What we model

COGS · Marketplace fees (referral, FBA, storage) · Ad spend by channel · Shipping & fulfillment · Returns & refunds · Payment processing · Overhead allocation · CAC payback period · LTV:CAC ratio

Outcomes

Per-SKU net margin visibility across every channel · Automatic flagging of margin erosion · Pricing recommendations grounded in real cost data · Executive dashboards that show contribution margin, not just revenue

What “done” looks like

You open one dashboard and see real net margin by product, by channel, updated daily. You stop guessing which products and channels actually make money.

Key deliverables

Margin waterfall model · Per-SKU per-channel P&L · CAC payback calculator · LTV model · Automated margin alerts · Monthly executive margin review deck

Capability 03

Analytics & Tracking

If your tracking is broken, every decision downstream is wrong. We set up measurement properly — from tag implementation to executive dashboards.

Tools we implement

GA4 · Google Tag Manager · Server-side GTM · Meta Conversion API · Google Ads Enhanced Conversions · Power BI · Looker Studio · Dreamdata · Triple Whale

Outcomes

Accurate conversion tracking across all channels · Server-side tagging for iOS resilience · Automated weekly performance reports · Monthly executive reviews with actionable recommendations · Attribution models that reflect your real buyer journey

What “done” looks like

Your dashboards tell the truth. Weekly reports land in Slack automatically. Monthly reviews have clear actions. Nobody asks “can we trust these numbers?”

Key deliverables

GA4 property configuration · GTM container (web + server-side) · Conversion API setup · Power BI / Looker dashboards · Automated report templates · Monthly review framework

Capability 04

Agentic Workflows

Automation is table stakes. We go further: AI agents that make decisions, flag anomalies, and execute workflows autonomously — with human oversight where it matters.

Tools we use

n8n · Make · Zapier · Claude API · OpenAI API · Custom Python scripts · Webhooks · Cron schedulers

What we automate

Dynamic pricing adjustments · Support ticket routing and triage · Lead enrichment and scoring · Anomaly detection on spend, margin, and inventory · Autonomous reporting and alerting · Data sync between disconnected systems

What “done” looks like

Your ops team stops doing repetitive work. Agents handle the routine. Humans handle the exceptions. You get Slack alerts when something needs attention — not when everything is fine.

Key deliverables

Automation audit & opportunity map · n8n/Make workflow library · Custom AI agent builds · Monitoring & alerting setup · Runbook documentation · Ongoing optimization

How It Connects

One operating layer. Two practices.

The operating layer isn’t a separate product. It’s the shared infrastructure that makes both the B2B and E-Commerce practices work — and work together.

Shared data flows

Customer data from your CRM feeds your profit models. Ad spend data feeds your margin waterfall. Inventory data feeds your pricing agents. Nothing lives in a silo.

Unified dashboards

B2B pipeline and E-com revenue in the same Power BI instance. One executive view, not two vendor portals. Compare CAC across motions. See total margin, not channel margin.

Single reporting cadence

Weekly automated reports cover both practices. Monthly executive reviews synthesize B2B and E-com performance into one narrative. No more stitching spreadsheets from five vendors.
