Overview

ThirdDimension.pk is a Shopify store offering both custom 3D design services and finished 3D printed products. Customers can order ready-made prints or submit custom design briefs that go through a full production pipeline — design, print, quality check, dispatch. Every part of that pipeline is managed by software built entirely in-house. This is the project where all the custom tools were born and battle-tested.

The Challenge

Running a store that sells both products and a bespoke service creates complexity that off-the-shelf tools cannot handle. Each custom order has a unique design brief, print time, material cost and delivery window. Managing this manually across WhatsApp, spreadsheets and a Shopify dashboard was breaking down as order volume grew. Every stage — from quote to dispatch — needed to be tracked, automated and visible to the team at all times.

Our Approach

  • Built the Shopify store on a custom theme — separate sections for ready-made products and the custom 3D design service with a quote request flow
  • Built the Queue Management System to handle both product orders and custom design jobs — each job is assigned to the correct production stage, tracked from design brief through printing to dispatch, and the team is notified at each handoff automatically
  • Built TDPK Manager — internal project and client management tool used to track all store operations, revisions and team tasks in one place
  • Built custom Accounting Software to handle order revenue, expenses, and per-product profitability without relying on spreadsheets
  • Built an SEO bot that audits the store automatically, checks for missing alt tags, broken links, meta issues and thin content — runs on schedule
  • Built a data scraping bot to pull product data, competitor pricing, and market intelligence automatically
  • Built an Auto Upload Bot: watches a local folder on the computer, detects new product images and data files, and automatically uploads them to Shopify with correct titles, tags, descriptions and pricing — saves hours of manual work per product batch
  • Managed SEO strategy — local and e-commerce keyword targeting, on-page optimisation, technical SEO
  • Manages social media content and paid campaigns to drive traffic to the store

In-House Systems Built

Every tool below was designed, built and is actively used — no off-the-shelf software, no outsourcing.

Queue Management System
Handles both standard product orders and custom design commissions. Each job — whether a ready-made print or a bespoke design brief — is assigned to the correct production stage, tracked from intake through design, printing and quality check to dispatch. The team sees live status without chasing anyone on WhatsApp.
TDPK Manager
Internal project and operations tracker. Manages tasks, revisions, approvals and team communication for the store. Built specifically for how ThirdDimension operates.
Accounting Software
Custom invoicing and finance tracker. Handles order revenue, supplier costs, and generates per-product profitability reports. Built because no off-the-shelf tool fit the workflow.
SEO Audit Bot
Crawls the Shopify store on schedule — checks every product page for missing meta titles, descriptions, alt tags, broken links and thin content. Generates a structured report and pushes it to the team.
Data Scraping Bot
Automatically scrapes competitor product listings, pricing data and market trends. Feeds into pricing strategy and product development decisions without any manual research.
Auto Upload Bot
The biggest time-saver. Watches a designated local folder — when new product images and a data file are dropped in, it automatically processes and uploads them to Shopify with proper metadata, tags, pricing and descriptions. What used to take hours per product batch now takes seconds.

The Outcome

The store runs with minimal manual intervention thanks to the automation stack. New products can be uploaded in bulk automatically, orders are tracked through production without spreadsheets, SEO is monitored continuously without manual audits, and the finances are always up to date. It is the most operationally efficient store in the portfolio.
