Wisconsin's manufacturing belt — Milwaukee 7, Fox Valley food and outdoor — is bolting DTC onto wholesale-first operations. The moment you sell on both channels, your inventory lives in your ERP, your Shopify, and (at scale) your 3PL, and they disagree. Your team reconciles in spreadsheets while orders ship late.
I build the integration layer between Shopify and Acumatica, Cin7, Fishbowl, or NetSuite — so inventory, orders, and customer records stay in sync, and your ops team stops being the integration. This is the work I'm leading with for Wisconsin manufacturers, because no coastal agency is.
