Senior engineers on retainer, not on a ticket queue. Designed and shipped for DTC e-commerce brands, not generic templates with dtc e-commerce brands swapped in.
Most DTC e-commerce brands are operating on sites or software stacks built three to five years ago for a different version of the buyer. A slow, theme-bloated storefront tanks Core Web Vitals and conversion, especially on mobile where most traffic lands. The infrastructure decisions that compound are the ones made with the operator in the room, not the ones made in a vacuum.
Inparlor's Maintenance & Support engagement for DTC e-commerce brands reflects that. Software rots if no one tends it: dependencies drift, security advisories pile up, and the small feature you needed last month is still in someone's inbox. The deliverables below are scoped against the unit economics, support tickets per 100 orders of 8-20.
Where most agencies treat DTC e-commerce brands as another vertical to learn on, we treat the vertical as the starting point. Inventory, orders, and customer data don't sync cleanly between the store, 3PL, and ERP, so stock and statuses drift. We will tell you on the first call which of those constraints is binding and which is solvable inside the engagement.

Issues come in through one tracked channel with response and resolution times you can hold us to. No more requests lost in a DM, every ticket has an owner, a priority, and a clock.
Uptime, errors, and performance are watched continuously, so we catch the outage before your customers do. We hear about the problem from a monitor, not from your support inbox.
Frameworks, libraries, and security patches stay up to date on a regular cadence, so the stack does not rot into a risky, expensive upgrade two years from now. Small steady updates beat one painful rewrite.
Every quarter we step back, review what broke, what is aging, and what the business needs next, and plan the work. Maintenance is not just keeping the lights on, it is steering what gets built next.
