The Problem

Nick’s Daily Bottleneck

“I want to be free from daily operations and create a system where new hires could onboard quickly with fewer errors.”

The Challenge

Scaling Creativity Without Chaos

Kilford Studios was thriving creatively but struggling operationally. Every order required:

  • Manual validation of orders (payment status, delivery type).
  • Checking delivery type (delivery, walk-up, pick-up).
  • Image preparation (crop, resize) before production.
  • Extra oversight from Nick to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks.

This made the business heavily dependent on Nick’s involvement, slowed onboarding for new hires, and limited scalability.

The Solution

Invisible Automation with n8n + WooCommerce API

Haipe designed a seamless automation ecosystem that transformed WooCommerce into a real-time production engine. Using n8n, WooCommerce API, and ClickUp API, the system now:
