For fashion brands and retailers · Fixed price, fixed timeline

Stop launching every drop by hand

Every collection, 2-3 salaries go into building SKU matrices, fixing supplier files, re-entering products into the PIM, WMS and DAM, and re-exporting the catalog in a different template for every partner. We build custom Business Operating Systems that erase that cost. No new hires.

Your PIM, WMS, DAM and ERP Don't Talk - So Your People Do It for Them

Every drop, 2-3 employees build the style × color × size matrix, clean supplier spreadsheets, pull images from the DAM, enter products into the PIM, push stock to the WMS - then re-export it all in a different template for every retailer, marketplace and wholesale partner. That's €60,000+ a year, disguised as "just how launches work."

Worse: manual product data carries a 3-4% error rate - wrong prices online, mismatched EANs, delayed listings, partner chargebacks. Competitors who automated launch the same collections with half the headcount.

The Solution

A Business Operating System for your product data

Not a rigid off-the-shelf tool or another PIM plugin. It takes over repetitive launch and catalog work, keeps your team in control of the judgment calls, and connects to the systems you already run.

What the Operating System handles for you

Drop & Collection Launches

One product import becomes a complete, validated SKU matrix (style × color × size) across every system.

Messy Product Data, Cleaned

Supplier files, tech packs and price lists normalized to your attribute model. Routine issues auto-fixed; edge cases flagged for a human.

Partner & Vendor Exports

One catalog, every output: per-retailer templates, marketplace feeds, line sheets, wholesale order sheets - each in the partner's own format and rules.

PIM ↔ WMS ↔ DAM ↔ ERP Sync

Products, stock, images and prices kept consistent across systems and sales channels - no manual re-entry.

Investment

A Fraction of the Payroll It Replaces

One flat build fee per tier, optional maintenance retainer. Zero hidden fees.

Step 1 - The Audit · Optional but recommended
€2,000 + VAT · one-time
A 2-week standalone diagnostic of how a drop moves from supplier to sale - and where the hours go.
  • Executive interview - systems (PIM, WMS, DAM, ERP, channels), partners, launch flow - & company-wide survey
  • 2-3 interviews across product, merchandising, e-commerce, wholesale, logistics
  • Pareto report - the 20% of ops burning 80% of the hours
  • A scoped implementation proposal & tier recommendation
Fee is separate from the implementation. Know your scope already? You can skip straight to a tier.

Step 2 - Pick your implementation tier

Ultra-Focused
€5,000 + VAT · one-time
One flow, up to 2 systems.
  • e.g. supplier files → clean PIM import, or PIM → partner feeds
  • 15-day delivery
  • 15 days post-delivery support
  • Weekly iterations on a live system

Risk Reversal

The Risk Is Entirely Ours

You should feel foolish saying no. Here's why.

Money Back Guarantee

Not happy at the end? Half the implementation fee comes back to you. We only get fully paid if you're happy.

Live Proof, Every Week

No 6-month black box. You use the working system as it's built and steer it weekly - real value early, not at the very end.

The Locked-Timeline Guarantee

Scope unchanged but delivery slips? We cover all remaining development time. You don't pay an extra cent.

Behind OpsBuild Labs: CTO-Level Engineering - Not a Bloated Agency

Your system is built by people who run large-scale data pipelines and cross-system integrations every day - 12+ years of tech, leadership and business experience. You work directly with the builders and decision makers, not account managers.

Fully built-for-you: you might not even know what you need yet - we identify and solve the right problems together. No implementation details, programmers, management or servers on your plate.

FAQ

Questions Decision Makers Ask

Straight answers - the same ones you'd get on a call.

Risk & Guarantees
What exactly do I get back if I'm not happy at the end?

Half the implementation fee, refunded. The risk is split 50-50 - we only get fully paid when you're satisfied with the result. If you activate the money back clause, you forfeit your IP access for half the implementation fee.

What if the project takes longer than the agreed delivery date?

If the agreed scope hasn't changed, we work for free until everything is delivered. Every tier ships on a locked timeline - delays cost us, not you.

What if my requirements change mid-project?

Weekly iterations exist exactly for this - direction adjustments (a new partner template, a new attribute) are part of the process. If the scope changes fundamentally, we re-agree timeline and terms together before anything moves.

Ownership & Lock-In
Who owns the code and IP at the end?

You do - 100%. Full intellectual property transfer happens at final sign-off and payment. No licenses, no strings. However, in order to protect ourselves from abuse, activating the money back clause will not give you access or ownership over the produced IP. The IP transfer only happens if you agree the delivered value is there.

Am I locked into your hosting? Can I move it later?

No lock-in. Hosting is optional, and the system is built on standard, widely-used technology (Django, PostgreSQL). You can move it to your own servers or team at any time. We can aid in the transfer, but you need to provide server and engineering resources so we can perform it.

What happens if we stop working together - does the system keep running?

Yes. You own the code and receive documentation at handover. The system runs wherever it's hosted, with or without us. However, ongoing support ceases if you don't have the optional hosting plan.

Process & Effort
How much of my team's time does this require?

During the audit: one executive interview, a short company-wide survey, and 2-3 employee interviews. After that: roughly one hour per week for the feedback session. We handle everything else.

Will this disrupt our day-to-day operations during the build?

No. The system is built alongside your existing processes - your team switches over only when it's proven to work, typically on a real drop. Nothing is ripped out on day one.

We already use a PIM/WMS/DAM/ERP - do you replace them or integrate with them?

Integrate. The Operating System connects to the systems you already use and moves clean, validated product data between them. We replace the manual copying, not your systems. Replacing a system is possible, but it's planned carefully together - you won't have to decide or do anything like this alone.

What if a new retailer or marketplace joins later?

Adding a new export format is configuration, not a new project - covered under post-delivery support or the maintenance package.

What do you need from us to start?

Access to decision makers for the executive interview and willingness to circulate a short survey. That's it - no documentation, no specs, no technical staff required.

Trust & Capability
Why not just hire a developer or use an agency?

Both need precise instructions, project management from your side, and tend to pad billable hours. Here you get a fixed price, a frozen deadline, and CTO-level judgment that proposes solutions instead of waiting for specs.

Can't we do this with Zapier, Make, or a PIM plugin?

For simple triggers, yes - and if that's all you need, the audit will tell you. But no-code tools break silently at scale, charge per task, and can't handle variant matrices, partner-specific validation, edge cases, or human-in-the-loop decisions. A custom system handles the complexity, and you own it.

How do you handle our data? Are you GDPR compliant?

EU-based servers, encryption in transit and at rest, minimal data access, and GDPR-aligned processing. An NDA is available before the audit begins.

What happens if something breaks after handover?

Post-delivery support is included with every tier - 15 days on Ultra-Focused, 30 days on Operating Core and Command Center - covering training, small adjustments and bugfixing. After that, the maintenance package covers monitoring, hotfixes and updates - or your own team can take over, since you own the code.

Money
Why is the audit paid?

Because it's real work - executive interview, company-wide survey, department interviews, and a Pareto report you keep either way.

Are there any costs beyond the implementation tier and the €299/month?

No hidden fees. The build price is a fixed, contract-locked flat fee per tier (€5,000, €15,000 or €40,000). On hosting, external usage costs (email, SMS, AI) are included up to €100/month - anything above is passed through at cost, and resource-intensive processing is agreed upfront. The prices do not contain VAT.

How is this different from hiring another ops employee?

An ops hire costs €20,000-30,000+ every year, works 8 hours a day, and makes the same 3-4% data entry errors. The system is a one-time cost, works 24/7, doesn't make typos, and scales with every new drop and partner without new salaries.
