Capabilities

What we handle.

When Shopify work is spread across several teams, we take responsibility for getting it out the door.

Storefront management

Keep the store current and catch issues before customers do.

Product data & catalog systems

Structure Shopify product data so it scales.

Merchandising & customer experience

Improve homepages, collections, product pages, navigation, and search.

Launches & promotions

Set up offers, test the shopping flow, and run launch day.

Conversion optimization

Find where shoppers get stuck and test a fix.

Analytics & prioritization

Show what moved sales and what needs attention next.

Ecommerce coordination

Get creative, marketing, and development working to the same dates.

How it works

From signal
to storefront.

  1. Understand

    Audit the storefront, product data, launch calendar, and performance.

  2. Prioritize

    Agree what goes first, who owns it, and how we’ll measure progress.

  3. Operate

    Run the storefront, ship changes, and coordinate the people doing the work.

  4. Improve

    Review what changed, check the results, and decide what to do next.

Selected work

A promotion, owned end to end.

For Alison Lou, we built a giveaway shoppers could enter from their cart and gave the team a way to track what happened afterward.

About runnel

Built from
doing the work.

runnel started with a question from working in-house: why should every growing brand need a full-time ecommerce hire? With a well-organized store and the right systems, an experienced operator can get a lot done in fewer hours.

That became the model. We take responsibility for the launches, merchandising, and everyday Shopify work a brand needs, with a scope that makes better use of everyone’s time.
