my ecom stack (to get to $25m/yr) - here's each tool that I use, and what I use it for. 1) @triplewhale - mobile dashboard is great. I can monitor the business at a glance on my phone. 2) @NumeralTax - state taxes. If you're not doing state taxes right, you're going to end up royally screwed. Numeral just handles it for me. 3) @FinaloopTeam - finance/P&L in realtime. I used to have to wait till the end of the month for a bookeeper to finish my books in Quickbooks. Finaloop is realtime and made for ecommerce specifically 4) @northbeam - ad attribution. Figure out which ads to spend more/less on. 5) @Shopify & @klaviyo - pretty standard store/email sender 6) @PostscriptIO to send SMS. We used to have another provider. so janky. Postscript interface so much easier to use, and they have features that generate more revenue 7) @PassportShip - this is how we do international shipping. They integrate w/ 3PL and make it super easy to grow internationally 8) @getpostpilot - I think of them like "klaviyo, for sending physical mail". We run post card campaigns with them to retarget existing customers, and get pretty crazy roas 9) @weareshepherd - for hiring overseas talent (eg. data analytics, virtual assistant, marketing assistant, social media, designers etc... ~40% of our team is international). and @deel to pay them (they handle the payments, currencies, compliance) I'm probably forgetting a few more. happy to answer any Qs for anyone getting started. Pretty crazy how easy it's become to run an ecom brand. Traditional retail would take ~100+ employees to do the same thing we can do with 14, just because the software stack automates so much manual work. *note, I own equity in a few of these, because after being a customer I reached out to invest.
