The Situation

The Admin Bottleneck

The Problem

Despite high product demand, the business was hitting an operational ceiling. The founder was losing 14+ hours/week managing a fragmented sales process—manually answering "Is this in stock?" DMs on Instagram while trying to bake at 4 AM.

The Friction

High-intent customers were dropping off because of slow response times. Orders came in sporadically, creating inventory chaos.

The Risks

  • Inventory mismatch (selling sold-out items) was damaging brand trust
  • Founder capped at production capacity due to administrative drag
  • Scaling impossible without hiring help (margin killer)
Our Approach

A Zero-Touch Sales Layer

We didn't just build a website. We architected a complete infrastructure that removed the founder from the sales loop entirely.

Visual Authority

We moved the brand upmarket by producing studio-grade imagery of signature products. This wasn't just photography—it was conversion optimization, making the product look as expensive as it tastes.

Dynamic Availability Engine

A custom, lightweight inventory system that updates in real-time. Customers see exact stock levels, creating natural urgency ("Only 2 loaves left") without manual input.

The "24/7 Concierge" Automation

An algorithmic auto-reply system on Instagram that answers FAQs, delivers the menu, and guides users to checkout—capturing leads even while the shop is closed.

Frictionless Commerce

Replaced the "DM back-and-forth" with structured booking logic. Customers select size, flavor, and pickup time, then pay upfront. Result: Zero no-shows, zero payment chasing.

Zero overselling incidents

"I used to spend my evenings replying to the same 5 questions on Instagram. Alsoma didn't just build a website; they gave me my life back. The system runs itself, the orders are paid upfront, and I can finally focus on scaling production."

Strategy

The Alsoma Stack

The Outcome

By automating the "boring" parts of the business, we reclaimed 30% of the founder's work week. The business shifted from reactive (answering DMs) to proactive (baking more product), directly resulting in a 40% revenue uplift within 60 days.

What Made This Different

Most agencies would have delivered a pretty website. We delivered operational infrastructure—turning a constraint into a competitive advantage.

  • Visual Authority: Premium photography that justified premium pricing
  • Real-Time Inventory: One-click "Sold Out" updates across all channels
  • Instagram Automation: DMs become booking engine links (not manual replies)
  • Upfront Payments: No invoicing, no chasing, no surprises
