## Services
- [Zaproo Box Storefront](https://www.zaproo.com/services/zappwa-storefront/): A productised headless storefront on Magento 2 — fixed deadline in writing, no scope creep, no rental-platform lock-in. Several merchants running on it today; the same engineers ship the next one.
- [Zaproo.Cloud](https://www.zaproo.com/services/scalable-cloud-infrastructure/): One accountable team operating your whole commerce stack as a single production system — Magento, headless frontend and integrations, with reliability, performance, scaling and recovery owned end to end. On your cloud or ours.
- [Custom eCommerce Software](https://www.zaproo.com/services/custom-development/): When standard solutions don't cut it — when your ERP can't talk to your store, when pricing is too complex for Shopify, when your warehouse, PIM, and storefront feel like three separate islands. We build Magento systems that hand over cleanly, with two-week sprint cadence and no lock-in.
- [Business Process Automation](https://www.zaproo.com/services/integrations-and-automation/): Production-grade ERP, PIM, WMS, and payment integrations. Event-sourced, idempotent, observable — not one-off scripts or brittle flows, but data pipes that stay reliable as your systems and load grow.
- [AI Solutions](https://www.zaproo.com/services/ai-implementation/): Your customer data, orders and documentation are already sitting in your stack. We turn them into live AI workflows — pilots that grow into operations, not the other way around.
- [Workflows · automated](https://www.zaproo.com/services/workflows-automated/): Every time your team copies data between the ERP, the store, and the warehouse — that is money lost. We connect the systems once, correctly, so data flows automatically. No custom code. No fragile workarounds.
