Set up in 7 days: what turnkey really means, and what we need from you

Most platforms hand you a login and a to-do list. Here is the alternative: you send four things, our AI agents and our team do the setup, and your first store is live within 48 business hours.

Every platform in our industry says onboarding is easy. Then the shop owner receives a login, a checklist and a support link, and the checklist sits there until the quarter ends. In our own client history, every shop that stopped using a platform stopped there. Not on the price. On the setup.

Turnkey means the opposite: you send us a short list of information, and we set the whole thing up for you. Our AI agents do the filling and the configuring, our team does the judgment and the design, and you get a working platform instead of a to-do list.

What we need from you (the whole list)

• Your logo and brand colours, and your client's if the first store is theirs.
• The product list you want to start with, or the suppliers you buy from most.
• Your decoration methods and what you charge for them, in whatever form you have: a spreadsheet, a PDF, a photo of the sheet on the wall.
• Your markups, your tax situation and the shipping rules you use.
• One person we can ask questions, for about an hour in total.

That is it. If some of it does not exist in writing, we build it with you during the evaluation. Most shops discover their decoration price list has never actually been written down.

What we do, in the 7 days

Day 1: the evaluation and the plan

We look at your traffic, your current stores and your competitors, agree what the first store has to do, and collect the list above. You get the plan in writing with the dates on it.

Days 1 to 2: the first store, designed and deployed

Store design, your branding, the first product set, decoration set up on the real imprint areas, and the store live. Our guarantee is 48 business hours from receiving your assets to a deployed store.

Days 3 to 5: the platform behind it

• Supplier catalogs connected, with your markups applied.
• Decoration methods and decoration price lists configured, by method, location and quantity break.
• Taxes set up for the provinces or states you sell into.
• Shipping rules, payment and checkout.
• Proofing and approval flows, so an approval becomes an order.

Days 6 to 7: connections, automations and training

• Connections to the tools you already use, such as QuickBooks, Shopify or WordPress.
• The first automations for the actions that repeat most in your shop.
• Training for your team, in English or French, recorded so new staff can watch it later.
• A walkthrough of the reports, so you can see what the store is doing without asking us.

Where the AI agents fit

The setup work that used to take a person days is mostly structured data entry: products, variants, colours, sizes, price breaks, decoration rules, tax codes. Our agents do that filling, and our team reviews it. That is why the timeline is days instead of weeks, and it is the same technology we then point at your daily operations, described in AI automation for print shops.

Why 7 days is possible at all

Three reasons, and none of them is heroics. First, we have done this setup hundreds of times, so the order of operations is not being invented for you. Second, the bulk of the work is structured data entry, and that is what our agents are for. Third, we ask for a short list instead of a long questionnaire, then fill the gaps ourselves rather than waiting on you.

Compare that with the usual path: a login, a knowledge base, and a shop owner trying to configure decoration pricing at 10pm between jobs. That path is not slower because the software is bad. It is slower because it is nobody's full-time job.

What can slow it down, honestly

• Assets we cannot get: a logo nobody can find in vector, or a product list that needs a decision from someone on holiday.
• A decoration price list that has never been written down, which we can build with you but which takes a conversation.
• Supplier accounts that need to be opened or credentials we are waiting on.
• A client approval cycle on the store design, which is their calendar, not ours.

We tell you on day one which of these apply to you, so the date in the plan is a date you can trust.

What happens after day 7

The setup is the beginning of the service, not the end of it. We keep the stores running: new products, price updates, seasonal launches, closing dates, new client stores as you sign them. You sell, we maintain.
