The Person Building Your AI Strategy

Joshua Sum

Joshua Sum

Joshua co-led operations at a DTC ecommerce brand that grew from $12M to $100M in one year. Bootstrapped. No outside money.

He saw it all up close — the manual workflows, the small errors that snowball into stockouts or overstocks, the systems that quietly cap how fast you can grow. And he built the fixes that solved them.

On your session, he’ll go through your operation with you and show you exactly where AI will make the biggest difference for your brand. Starting with the one thing costing you the most time right now.

What Brands Like Yours Are Already Using AI For

  1. 1

    Know What To Order, And When

    What AI does

    Reads your real sales history, seasonality, and lead times, then tells you which products to order, how much, and when.

    The result

    Fewer stockouts. Less dead inventory. Cash freed up.

  2. 2

    Keep Shopify, Your ERP, And Your 3PL In Sync

    What AI does

    Watches your systems, catches mismatches the moment they happen, and fixes or flags them before they turn into a wrong shipment.

    The result

    One set of numbers you can trust.

  3. 3

    See Your Real Profit By SKU And Channel

    What AI does

    Pulls the numbers together automatically and shows true profit by SKU and by channel, updated on its own.

    The result

    You stop scaling products that lose money and double down on the ones that don't.

  4. 4

    Handle Returns Without Bleeding Margin

    What AI does

    Automates the return process end to end and flags the patterns that look like return fraud.

    The result

    Faster returns, fewer hours spent on them, and less money walking out the door.

  5. 5

    Catch And Fix Order Issues Before Customers Do

    What AI does

    Monitors every order, catches problems as they happen, and either fixes them or routes them to the right person with the answer already attached.

    The result

    Fewer support tickets. Fewer refunds. Happier customers.

  6. 6

    Kill The Manual Reporting

    What AI does

    Builds the reports for you, on schedule, from live data — and tells you what changed and why.

    The result

    Your team gets their week back and you get answers faster.
