Senior ecommerce and systems consultancy for manufacturers
When growth starts to feel risky rather than exciting, it is usually a systems and governance problem, not a motivation problem.
comsim works with manufacturing and product-led businesses where ecommerce, ERP, integrations, and reporting have stopped agreeing with each other. We restore clarity, reduce exposure, and take responsibility for decisions that still look sensible six months from now.

Meet the team behind comsim
Before we talk about systems, platforms, or delivery, it is worth meeting the people you would be working with.
This short film introduces the comsim team and the values that guide how we work together with our clients. It is not a pitch. It is simply who we are.
Complexity made simple, for manufacturers
Our newsletter is for people running real businesses, not chasing trends.
We share practical thinking on ecommerce, systems, integration, and governance. This is the kind of insight you usually only get once something has gone wrong.
No hype. No noise.

Trusted by teams who take
responsibility seriously
We work with manufacturing and product led businesses who care about doing things properly.
The organisations below trusted us to help them make complex decisions, deliver change, and protect outcomes when it mattered.
In most cases, this followed careful qualification on both sides.
Build.
Nourish.
Grow.
Most manufacturing businesses do not need transformation. They need sequencing. We work across three modes, depending on where you are today.
That sequencing includes not just decisions, but the systems, integrations, and automation required to make those decisions stick.
Build
Create a stable foundation for ecommerce, data, and integration so growth is not built on fragility.
Readiness assessments ✔ System architecture ✔ Integration strategy ✔ Platform foundations ✔
Nourish
Improve what already exists. Remove friction, reduce operational drag, and stop small issues becoming structural problems.
Governance ✔ Migrations ✔ Scalability planning ✔ Platform stewardship ✔
Grow
Increase performance with disciplined measurement and commercially grounded decisions.
Conversion optimisation ✔ SEO ✔ Paid media oversight ✔ GA4 ✔
Data readiness ✔
People like you work with comsim
We work with founders, managing directors, and senior operators who carry real accountability.
People who are tired of juggling agencies, vendors, internal politics, and partial answers, while still being the person held responsible when things drift.
People like you tend to value:
- Fewer suppliers and fewer unknowns
- One version of the truth
- Clear sequencing instead of endless options
- Calm delivery that does not create more work for your team
If you want execution without context or responsibility, we will not be the right partner.
That is a feature, not a flaw.
Outsourced in-house.
Authenticity.
Excellence.
Outsourced in-house
We work as an outsourced in-house capability.
Close enough to understand context, priorities, and pressure. Independent enough to stay objective and take responsibility when things are not straightforward.
We are remote first by design. That does not mean distant. It means we are embedded in the work, not hovering in meetings or taking up space for the sake of it.
We do not produce recommendations and hand them over. We stay involved until decisions are implemented and working.
Authenticity
We say what we think, and we explain why.
That includes being honest when something is not ready, when the timing is wrong, or when a different path would be safer.
We do this because clarity is a form of care. It protects teams from wasted effort and leaders from avoidable risk.
Excellence
For us, excellence is not about being impressive. It is about being reliable.
Work that holds up under pressure. Decisions that still make sense later. Systems that behave as expected.
We would rather do fewer things well than more things poorly. That is how outcomes stay intact.
Governance that delivers
Governance without delivery is theatre. Delivery without governance is chaos.
We deliberately combine both.
We help you make the right decisions, in the right order, and we stay responsible as those decisions are implemented, integrated, and embedded.
This is how strategy stops becoming shelfware and starts operating inside the business.
Built for what comes next
Most businesses feel pressure to do something with AI. Very few are actually ready.
AI readiness is not about tools. It is about systems, data, and integration discipline.
We help you build:
- Clean, reliable data flows
- Integrated systems that reduce manual effort
- Automation that removes fragility rather than people
This is what makes future AI use possible without expensive rework or unnecessary risk.
Ethical, measured, and verifiable
We have submitted our B Impact Assessment and are currently in the B Lab verification phase.
We cannot claim certification yet.
What we can say is this. The standards behind that process already shape how we work, how we price, and how we choose engagements.
Certification will formalise what is already expected internally.
Discerning by design
We take on a very small number of new clients each year. That is deliberate.
It allows us to stay senior led, deeply involved, and accountable, rather than stretched, delegated, or distracted.
You do not need more suppliers. You need fewer unknowns and work that holds up.
What our clients say
Most of our clients come to us because something feels off. Systems are not aligning, delivery is drifting, or decisions are carrying more risk than they should.
What they value most is not noise or novelty. It is clarity, follow-through, and knowing someone senior is staying accountable.
