About
Lanterna is a WooCommerce engineering and automation studio built by the team behind Order Daemon, a workflow engine used to streamline order handling in real‑world stores. We partner with merchants who have outgrown patchwork plugins and need their store to behave more like an operating system than a brochure.
What We Believe
Your store is an operations hub, not just a theme.
Automation should reduce complexity, not add fragile dependencies.
Data only matters if it shapes decisions about UX, inventory, and fulfillment.
Why WooCommerce, why us
We focus on WooCommerce because it hits a practical sweet spot: open, flexible, and powerful enough to support serious operations without forcing you into a custom SaaS build too early. Our background in WordPress, automation, and AI means we design architectures that can survive plugin churn, growth surges, and shifting customer behavior.
As product builders, we maintain our own WooCommerce plugin, Order Daemon, which keeps us close to what high‑volume merchants actually struggle with: exceptions, edge cases, and the small process leaks that consume hours each week. That experience shapes how we design stores, integrations, and workflows for our clients.
How We Work
Discovery First
We start with your numbers, your stack, and your real processes, not generic best practices.
Client Empowerment
We don’t just deliver results; we empower you to understand and leverage technology effectively.
Roadmaps, Not Tickets
We plan around business milestones (order volume, markets, product lines), then translate that into technical work and automation.
Continuous Improvement
For many clients, we operate as an ongoing WooCommerce ops partner, shipping small changes that compound over time.
