01 — Selection
Which app, which system?
Twelve apps can do the same thing — almost. I compare along your requirements and tell you which solution still carries in three years.
Shopify · Consulting · Decisions
Before you budget it, you should understand it.
App selection, theme question or system architecture: I advise technically and strategically across the Shopify ecosystem — vendor-neutral, without an agency agenda, and with written recommendations you can keep using.

Typical questions clients bring
Consulting pays off whenever a decision could get expensive — in money, time or dependency.
02 — Architecture
How does it all fit together?
ERP, PIM, shop, marketplaces: before data flows, it must be clear which system leads. I draw the target picture before anyone writes code.
03 — Assessment
Is the agency's quote fair?
A second opinion on concepts, quotes and effort estimates — technically grounded and independent, because I have nothing to sell you.
Consulting in clear steps
You start with a concrete question and decide again after every step — no consulting contract, no forced package.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the initial consultation and the intro call?
The intro call clarifies whether I can help — free of charge. The initial consultation answers your concrete question: 60 focused minutes, followed by a written recommendation with the next three steps.
Are you tied to agencies or app vendors?
No. I receive no commissions and don't have to sell my own solution. Recommendations follow your case exclusively.
Do you also advise agencies?
Yes. Agencies bring me in as technical reinforcement when a project hinges on the data side — from architecture questions to a second opinion before the client meeting.
What happens after the initial consultation?
You decide. Some questions are answered after an hour, others lead to an audit or an implementation. There is no obligation to continue.
I draw the data model first, then I judge solutions. In almost every project that saves more time than it costs.
25 minutes, free of charge. Afterwards you'll know whether I'm the right fit — and what the next sensible step would be.
