Breaking ERP Barriers: GoodDay OS Delivers Simplicity And Scale For Shopify

A Shopify Podcast To Grow Revenue And Loyalty

Episode Introduction

Are you tired of wrestling with spreadsheets and clunky software just to keep your eCommerce operations running? If the word “ERP” makes you think of expensive, legacy systems built for the enterprise elite, you’re not alone. For most Shopify brands, traditional ERP has always felt out of reach-too costly, too complex, and too slow to adapt.

That’s why I’m excited to welcome Kyle Hency, co-founder and CEO of GoodDay, to eCommerce Fastlane. Kyle’s a true operator-he built Chubbies Shorts from scratch, co-founded Loop Returns to solve real merchant pain, and now he’s on a mission to reimagine what ERP can be for modern Shopify brands. With GoodDay OS, Kyle and his team are bringing a next-generation retail operating system right inside Shopify’s admin, making advanced operational tools accessible, affordable, and actually enjoyable to use.

What You’ll Learn

• Why ERP Hasn’t Worked for Most Brands: The legacy ERP world is built for giants, not for fast-growing Shopify merchants. Kyle breaks down what’s broken and how GoodDay is flipping the script.

• Seamless Shopify Integration: GoodDay OS lives inside your Shopify admin, extending native capabilities for inventory, purchase orders, vendor management, and more-without the need for middleware or endless custom integrations.

• From Spreadsheets to Centralized Control: How brands are ditching duct-taped solutions and siloed data in favor of a unified platform that anyone on the team can trust.

• Affordability & Scalability: GoodDay’s pricing grows with your revenue, making powerful ERP tools finally accessible to SMBs-not just the 1%.

• Real-World Case Studies: Hear how brands (from $2M to $80M in revenue) have transformed their operations, gained visibility, and unlocked new efficiencies by moving to GoodDay OS.

• A Product Built By Operators, For Operators: GoodDay’s rapid iteration and customer-driven roadmap means you’re not just buying software-you’re joining a community that shapes the product.

Episode Summary

Kyle Hency joins me to unpack the enigma of ERP for Shopify merchants. Drawing on his journey from building Chubbies Shorts to launching Loop Returns and now GoodDay, Kyle shares firsthand how painful and expensive legacy systems can be-and why most growing brands end up stuck in spreadsheet purgatory.

We delve into how GoodDay OS is purpose-built for Shopify, embedding directly in the admin for a familiar, frictionless experience. Kyle explains how their platform centralizes inventory, purchase orders, and vendor management, replacing a patchwork of point solutions and manual processes. The result? Teams finally have a single source of truth, unlocking faster, smarter decisions and freeing up time to focus on growth.

Kyle also shares a behind-the-scenes look at GoodDay’s philosophy: pricing that aligns with your business size, rapid feature development driven by real customer feedback, and a relentless focus on making ERP accessible to brands of all sizes. If you’ve ever felt ERP was out of reach, this episode will show you how the landscape is changing-and how you can leverage these new tools to supercharge your operations.
