AI implementation
Run the business.
Not the paperwork.
We take the work off. Not the people.
Most companies buying AI can't point to a number that moved. The failure isn't the technology. It's that nobody found where the business actually loses hours before they bought something.
We run a company that uses AI across the whole operation, every day. We find the work that's eating your week, and we build the thing that takes it off the table.
Your week, roughly
Estimating paperwork, chasing subs for numbers, rewriting the same training material, reconciling invoices. This is the part we go after.
Our work has been covered in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Bloomberg, and Yahoo Finance.
Most AI projects don't fail on technology.
They fail earlier. A company decides it should be doing AI, buys a tool or runs a pilot, and waits for something to happen. Nobody mapped where the hours actually go. Nobody owned the workflow change. Nobody was accountable for a number.
That's an operations problem wearing a technology costume. It's fixable, but not by buying more tools.
Two ways to work with us.
Breakwater Operations
We find it, then we build it.
For Alaska organizations. Construction, logistics, marine and transportation, tourism, oil and gas, resource work. We find where your operation is losing hours and money, then build the fix. Everything remote over Zoom, recorded so nothing gets lost.
Breakwater Growth Systems
The systems we built in our own company.
For any organization, anywhere. We teach the systems we run inside our own business, in a group program. The first one covers content and lead generation. You leave with it running, not with notes.
Who you'd be working with
We've made payroll for a hundred people.
Robby Switzer and Daniel Stafford both came up commercial fishing and working construction in Alaska. In 2016 they started Shopanova, and have spent nearly a decade helping online businesses grow. They live in Alaska with eight kids between them.
Find out what it's actually worth.
Start with a free briefing on how companies in your industry are using this, or go straight to an audit if you already know where it hurts. Either way you'll get a straight answer, including sometimes that AI won't help you much yet.
