FAQ

Ask. We answered.

001 Aren't you a development agency? Don't you build it yourselves?

We are not a company that exists to write code — we exist to put commerce operations in order.

We do keep engineering capability in house, but we propose existing SaaS or no-code tools before building anything custom. We build only when it is genuinely necessary, and in those cases we either do it ourselves or manage it together with vetted partners.

002 We're still small. Do we really need consulting?

Getting the system right while you are small is when it pays off most.

Once orders surge and support tickets pile up, there is no time left to change the system. The right moment is the step from roughly ₩10M to ₩100M in monthly revenue — or whenever managing everything in spreadsheets starts to break down.

003 How much does it cost?

It depends on scope, but our goal is to save you the tens to hundreds of millions of won that get wasted on unnecessary development.

The initial operations diagnosis is free. System design and rollout projects are then proposed in stages within your budget. You do not spend a large sum at once — you invest only as much as you need.

004 Do you work with Cafe24 or Naver Smart Store?

Yes, we do.

From your own storefront (Cafe24, Imweb, Shopify) to open markets and large retail channels, we diagnose the data flows and work processes across your entire commerce operation. We are not tied to any one platform — we focus on how to connect and automate the tools you already run.
