Business challenges

When Growth Slows, Look at the Whole Business.

E-commerce performance is shaped by connected decisions. Improving one area while overlooking another can limit the impact of your investment.

  1. Sales are growing, but margins remain under pressure.
  2. Advertising spend is increasing without clear business gains.
  3. Product listings attract traffic but fail to convert.
  4. Stockouts and slow-moving inventory disrupt performance.
  5. Marketplace issues affect visibility and customer experience.
  6. Teams are busy, but priorities and accountability are unclear.

SMAGE helps turn these challenges into a prioritized action plan.

How SMAGE works

One Business. Connected Priorities.

Sales, margins, advertising, catalog, inventory, fulfillment, and team performance influence one another. SMAGE works across those connections instead of treating each one in isolation.

01

Strategic Clarity

Understand your current position, identify your most relevant opportunities, and focus resources on the actions that matter.

02

Execution Discipline

Translate plans into clear responsibilities, practical routines, and coordinated action across your e-commerce operation.

03

Performance Visibility

Track the indicators that support better decisions—not just more reporting.

Leadership

Experience That Connects Strategy With Operations.

SMAGE was founded by Lucas Achutti Pedri, who brings 15 years of e-commerce experience and a background in Strategic Marketing. Before SMAGE, he founded and led an LED lighting e-commerce operation with more than 300 employees, six physical stores, and three distribution centers—experience that shapes the consulting approach the SMAGE team applies, grounded in how commercial decisions play out in day-to-day operations.
