How We Freed 34 Hours a Week for ShopFever's Growth Team

ShopFever is a fast-growing e-commerce business with a lean team. They were winning more clients, scaling their operations, and building something genuinely impressive. But there was a problem: they were drowning in the administrative work that scaling brings.

Business development was consuming a full-time role. Project management, HR, and finance tasks were eating into growth time. The team was brilliant at what they did — but brilliant people were spending their days on busywork instead of strategy.

We helped them change that. Here is how.

The Problem: Brilliant People, Wasted Capacity

When we first sat down with ShopFever's leadership team, the issue was clear. Their business development pipeline was growing — leads were coming in faster than ever — but managing those leads was consuming a full-time resource.

But BD was only part of the problem. Across the business, administrative friction was everywhere. The team was not lacking skill or drive. They were lacking capacity.

What We Did: A Full Operational Audit and Tailored AI Strategy

Our bilingual English and German-speaking team conducted a comprehensive operational audit. From that audit, we designed a tailored AI automation strategy covering four key areas:

Business Development Automation — Automated workflows for lead tracking, outreach sequencing, and pipeline management.

Project Management Optimisation — Status updates and progress reports now pull data automatically.

HR and Finance Automation — Automated invoicing, onboarding workflows, and payroll processing.

AI Tooling Cost Analysis — Benchmarked AI costs against previous operational expenditure.

The Results

34 hours freed per week — BD workload dropped from a full-time role to just 6 hours per week

30%+ operational reduction across project management, HR, and finance

90% of routine tasks fully automated

20% of team capacity freed for higher-value growth work

Why This Matters

Automation is not about replacing people — it is about freeing the people you have to do the work you actually need them to do.
