The Unified Bike Shop: How to Sync Your Shopify E-commerce and Workshop Management to Grow Sales and Service.
Join Workshop by bikebook, Shopify & Visualsoft for a deep dive into streamlining your repairs and boosting your digital sales.
Ryan Elson
Founder & CMO
Running an independent bike shop is a constant balancing act. You are juggling walk-in retail customers, managing online orders, and trying to keep on top of a busy workshop schedule that’s likely booked out weeks in advance.
For too many shop owners, the retail side (front-of-house) and the service side (back-of-house) operate in silos. Your e-commerce platform doesn't talk to your workshop scheduler. Your mechanics are drowning in paper job cards, while your sales data sits in a completely separate system.
The result? Lost time, missed revenue opportunities, and a disjointed customer experience.
It’s time to unify your operations.
On April 9th, 2026, join us for an exclusive, collaborative webinar designed specifically for cycling entrepreneurs who are ready to stop firefighting and start scaling. We are bringing together three industry leaders—Workshop by bikebook, Shopify, and Visualsoft—to show you exactly how to connect your workshop management with retail excellence.
