Aruandário: the store that runs itself.

“Everything automatic, so I can focus on the studio and the custom products.” That was the request. Every automation was built from it.

The starting point

A store of Afro-Brazilian religious goods with two worlds inside it: thousands of products from a dropshipping supplier, shipped from the supplier's warehouse, and pieces handmade in the studio, with their own lead time. Catalog, stock, shipping and orders lived in different places, and each sale took a string of manual steps.

What we built

  • Admin dashboard with orders, customers, stock, finance, production and marketing on a single screen.
  • Daily supplier sync: stock read every day, sold-out products leave the storefront, and whoever asked to be notified hears back when the item returns.
  • Two shipping origins: a cart with supplier and studio pieces becomes two deliveries, each with its own quote, lead time and label.
  • Custom products with a production queue for the studio.
  • Creators program: a coupon per content creator, attributed sales and calculated commission.
  • Automatic pipeline: label, tracking code and customer notice without anyone pressing a button.
  • Marketing: a news list, e-mail campaigns with a daily limit and abandoned-cart reminders.
  • AI list reading: the list sent by the customer is transcribed and matched to the catalog; the owner only checks it.
  • Integrations with the store platform, management system (ERP), carriers, payment and transactional e-mail.

Principles that stayed

  • The server decides money. The browser says which product and how many; price, shipping and coupon are calculated on our side.
  • An automation that needs someone to remember isn't done. Every routine runs on schedule and alerts when something is out of the ordinary.
  • Nothing changes without a preview. Every change is seen at a test address before it reaches the customer.
