DTC Ops Failure Cost Calculator

Silent ops failures — a sync that quietly stopped, an oversell nobody caught, orders sitting past SLA, a payout that never landed — rarely throw an alert. Plug in your own numbers and see your own estimate of what they could be costing you each month.

Your numbers

Monthly orders — roughly how many orders you ship per month.

/mo

Average order value — your typical revenue per order.

Orders touched by an ops issue — your estimate of the % of orders hit by oversell, mis-sync, wrong-item, or fulfillment delay in a typical month.

Manual reconciliation hours / week — time your team spends checking, matching, and chasing across Shopify, 3PL, and accounting.

hrs/wk

Loaded hourly cost of that person — wage plus overhead. (US ops/CX roles often land around $30–$55/hr loaded.)

Your estimated monthly exposure	$0

Read this as your own estimate, not a measured fact. Every figure above is calculated only from the numbers you typed in, using the simple, transparent assumptions noted on each line. We applied a conservative 60% "recoverable share" to the affected-order revenue (most ops failures cost you some orders, refunds, replacements, or chargebacks — not always the full order). It is illustrative of what a brand with your inputs could be exposed to. It is not a claim about any real customer, and not a guarantee.

What Ops Monitor actually does about this

Most of the leak above is silent — the failure happens quietly and you find out days later from an angry customer or a month-end reconciliation. Ops Monitor connects to your Shopify and Stripe with read-only API keys and continuously watches for those silent failures, then alerts you by email or Slack the moment one shows up.

Broken or stale integration syncs — when Shopify ↔ 3PL ↔ accounting quietly stop talking.
Inventory drift & oversell risk — counts diverging before they turn into a sale you can't fulfill.
Orders unfulfilled past your SLA — surfaced before the customer emails you.
Payout / settlement gaps — money that should have landed and didn't.

It is read-only: it never writes to your store and never moves money. It detects and alerts — it does not prevent or guarantee anything. A single caught oversell or broken sync often costs a brand four figures, which is the honest case for the $149/month price.
