One operator for the whole store.

Most online stores are run by five vendors who never speak to each other. Southgate runs the whole thing: storefront, warehouse, ads, marketplaces and the customer at the end of it.

We work with a small number of brands at a time, so every store gets an operator who knows its numbers by heart.

We design and build on Shopify, from theme to checkout. Fast pages, clear product stories, and a cart that gets out of the way.

Hi, the pillow arrived but I ordered the blue one.

Sorry about that. The blue one ships today and you can keep this one.

Categories we know.

Six categories where we know the suppliers, the margins and the customers. Each one has its own rhythm of launches, returns and reorders, and we run them accordingly.

Still life of copper pots, lemons and a knife with a blue handle on dark marble. — **Kitchen and cookware***Heavy goods, careful packaging, high reorder.*

Still life of silk bed linens draped over a wooden chest, one pillow in blue. — **Bedding and home***Seasonal launches, generous returns window.*

Still life of an apothecary shelf with jars and herbs, one modern jar with a blue lid. — **Supplements***Subscriptions, compliance, repeat customers.*

Still life of antique perfume bottles with orange blossoms, one modern bottle with a blue cap. — **Fragrance***Gifting peaks, samples, premium unboxing.*

A marble bust wearing a blue hoodie, with folded garments beside it. — **Apparel***Size curves, drops, exchange-first returns.*

Portrait of a greyhound on a velvet cushion wearing a modern blue collar. — **Pet***Autoship, bulky freight, loyal buyers.*

Build

We start with the product and the person buying it. Store, catalog and back office are set up in the first weeks.

Operate

We run the store day to day: orders, stock, ads, support. You get one weekly report and one person to call.

III

Grow

New channels and campaigns are added when the numbers earn them. Growth is paid for from margin.

Compound

A store run well gets cheaper to operate and more valuable every season. We plan in years.

Built on the platforms your customers already use.
