DropProof

DropProof is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that helps creators run reliable merch drops by catching the boring, expensive failures: wrong sizes, missing SKUs, low stock, delayed blanks, print errors, and shipping SLA misses. It connects to Shopify and one or more print-on-demand/fulfillment providers, then runs a pre-drop checklist and live “risk dashboard” that flags issues in plain language. It also generates a drop timeline (art lock, sample order, QC window, cutoff dates) and sends automated reminders to the creator and vendors. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI reads vendor emails/SLAs, summarizes delays, and suggests mitigations (e.g., swap blank, split ship, extend cutoff) but the core value is operational control and visibility. It’s not glamorous, but it prevents refunds, angry fans, and reputation damage—where creators actually bleed money.
