The challenge

Fernwood Retail was running a critical part of their business by hand — slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale. The work was eating their team's time and quietly costing them money every week. They needed a system that could keep up without adding headcount.

Our approach

We mapped the full workflow, found the highest-leverage step to automate first, and shipped it in tight iterations. Human review stayed in the loop for anything sensitive, with monitoring and documentation built in from day one.

The outcome

  • $1.2M improvement in overhead saved
  • Manual data entry eliminated end to end
  • System fully documented and owned by their team
  • Monitoring + human-in-the-loop guardrails in place
