About this listen
In this episode of The LowCode Podcast, we pull apart a hard truth in e-commerce: the store can look “simple” right up until growth exposes everything you’ve been duct-taping behind the scenes. Early wins feel like proof the model works, then order volume jumps and the business starts to wobble in places you didn’t even know existed.
We talk through the operational cracks that quietly turn into expensive problems: inventory you can’t trust, reports that don’t match reality, fulfillment that slips, and customers who feel the fallout. Spreadsheets and manual handoffs might survive at 20 orders a day, then become the source of confusion at 200. Margins shrink, support load climbs, and the team ends up stuck in reactive mode.
You’ll leave with a clear way to spot the bottlenecks that matter most, why real-time data changes decision-making, and what “good” looks like in connected systems that actually talk to each other. Marketing can bring the traffic, but ops decides if the business keeps the profit—and keeps the team sane—once growth shows up.
