The Problem

Nick’s Daily Bottleneck

I want to free myself from day-to-day operations and create a system where new hires can onboard quickly, with fewer errors.”

The Challenge

Scaling Creativity Without Chaos

Kilford Studios was creatively thriving but facing operational challenges. Each order required:

  • Manual validation of orders (payment status, delivery type)
  • Delivery type verification (shipping, local pickup, collection)
  • Image preparation (cropping, resizing) before production
  • Additional oversight from Nick to ensure nothing went wrong

This made the business highly dependent on Nick’s involvement, slowed onboarding of new team members, and limited scalability.

The Solution

Invisible Automation with n8n + WooCommerce API

Haipe built an integrated automation ecosystem that turned WooCommerce into a real-time production engine.
