01 · How it works

Your back office runs itself. An expert makes sure it’s right.

Most back-office work is either too constant for a person or too consequential for a machine. Membrane runs both halves for you: around-the-clock execution, reviewed and owned by a named expert — and you always see who did what, and why.

Questions in plain words

No dashboards to decode — ask, and the answer arrives with the receipts.

02 · The work

Start with one job. Add the rest when it earns it.

A job is one recurring outcome with a defined deliverable — not a seat, a retainer, or a block of hours. Pick the one that hurts most and judge it on what it ships.

03 · For brands

Built for the brands doing too much with too few hands.

If you sell on more than one channel, the back office grows faster than the team. Membrane takes the operational load — whatever you sell, wherever you sell it.

DTC brand products

DTC & Shopify brands

Payouts, refunds, 3PL syncs and ad spend tied out daily — margin watched per product, not per month.

Marketplace boxes

Amazon & marketplace sellers

FBA fees recovered, reimbursements filed, listings defended, restocks landed before the cut-off.

Omnichannel storefront

Omnichannel & wholesale

Retail POs chased, EDI and channel counts reconciled, one inventory truth across every door.

Does it solve my problem?
“Ops are chaotic — every tool says something different”Tied out daily · one truth
“Agencies cost more than they find”Billed only on what ships
“An ops hire is a salary we don’t have”A team at a fraction

If this sounds like your week — yes

Chaotic operations and help that costs more than it delivers: the two problems every brand brings us, and the two this service is built to end.

Fits how you already work

Scales with seasonsQ4 volume doesn’t need a Q4 hire — we absorb the spike.

Starts small, survives Q4

From your first job to the whole back office — without changing a single tool.

04 · What it costs

You approve the work before it starts. You pay when it ships.

There is no retainer and no hourly bill. Each job carries a list of deliverables with a price against each one, approved before any work begins — and a deliverable is only billed once it has actually shipped.

Work orderMembrane · yourstore.com · no retainer
01

Approve the list

Before anything runs, your operator proposes exactly what this job ships and what each item costs. You approve that list, and nothing outside it can be billed.

Approved
02

The work gets done

Agents and your operator do the work on your own tools. You see what is in progress, and the record of every action as it happens.

In progress
03

You are billed on shipment

A deliverable is charged when it ships — not when it is started, and not if it never arrives. Changes to the list are approved the same way the list was.

Shipped
Total until shipment$0.00

Every deliverable is priced and approved before work starts — you pay when it ships.
