Uptown Whittier and Greenleaf Avenue Shops: One Branded App, Operated For You
The independent retailers along Greenleaf Avenue and through the Uptown historic district sell to a loyal, walkable, multi-generational customer base. We give your shop the same digital surface the chains have, a branded native app, unified loyalty, and a push channel, and operate all of it on a flat monthly fee.
The retail & e-commerce problem in Whittier
Where retail and DTC brands in Whittier quietly lose time and margin.
The pattern we see
Your Uptown Whittier shop has been a fixture on Greenleaf for years and sells well to neighbors who walk the district on weekends, but everything between visits is the gap. The Square POS captures the sale and nothing after it. The email list is a Mailchimp account someone updates when there is time, opening at maybe 15 to 20 percent. The loyalty punch cards live in a drawer. A customer who discovered you during a First Friday stroll rarely comes back unless they happen to walk past again. Meanwhile the in-store and online customer data live in separate universes, so you cannot tell who your real top-tier regular actually is.
How we build for Whittier
One system, designed for your retail & e-commerce workflow and run on your behalf.
We build your shop a branded native app on iOS and Android so the App Store presence consolidates your name instead of a platform's. Loyalty unifies across web, app, and in-store rather than being stitched from add-ons. We configure push-notification segmentation from your briefs, run new-arrival alerts and First-Friday-timed drops, and connect to your Shopify or Square POS so every purchase rolls into one customer record. The platform runs on our infrastructure. Your customer data remains yours; developer accounts, licenses, exports, and handoff follow the signed agreement.
Whittier retail customers respond to push notifications at far higher rates than the email blasts most Uptown shops rely on. The merchants who compound are the ones who own that channel instead of renting fragments of it across vendors. We build it once and operate it forever on your behalf, so a shop on Greenleaf can present the same digital polish a national chain brings to the Whittwood corridor.
What we build for Whittier retail and DTC brands
One retainer covers the stack; these are the pieces Whittier operators lean on most.
Internal Operations Tool
The back-office system that lives in a spreadsheet today, rebuilt as real software. We scope it to your retail & e-commerce workflow in Whittier, wire in role-based permissions, and log every sensitive change.
- back-office operations screen designed around how your team actually works
- approval flows, scheduling rules, and exceptions wired into a single system
- scheduled exports for your accountant, plus on-demand audit pulls when needed
Vendor and System Integrations
Shopify, BigCommerce, Klaviyo and the rest of your stack keep working, connected by us. Two-way sync, retry queues, and around-the-clock monitoring stay on our side, so an integration never breaks unnoticed on a Friday night.
- bidirectional connections to your existing CRM, accounting, and operations stack
- queue-backed retries and event monitoring so a vendor outage doesn't surface to your team
- alert routing to our team, not yours, when something does break
Operations and Iteration
You get the team that built it, on call to change it. New services, a seasonal promotion, a design tweak: you send a message, we ship it, usually the same day, and we review the whole operation every quarter.
- quarterly operations review with your leadership, tied to revenue and staff-hour outcomes
- platform changes from a one-paragraph brief, deployed in days, not change-orders
- continuous monitoring, security patching, and incident response on our schedule
Integrations we plug into
You don't rip anything out. We integrate the stack your Los Angeles County team already uses and take over keeping it connected.
Compliance, architected in
Requirements drive architecture, not retrofits. We scope compliance into the build from day one.
Common questions from Whittier operators
Specific to retail and DTC brands in Whittier.
Are you set up to serve retail and DTC brands in Whittier?
Yes. Whittier is squarely in our LA County service area. We run everything remotely and continuously, so an operator here is never second-tier to one closer to our Downtown LA office; the build and the ongoing operation are identical.
How is Rehost priced for retail and DTC brands in Whittier?
By monthly active users, not by seats or locations: Business starts at $950/mo up to 2,000 MAU, then $1,500 to 10K and $2,500 to 50K. Hiring staff or opening another Whittier location doesn't move the bill. There's no setup fee and no per-transaction cut, and the published number is the number.
Is the platform PCI DSS-ready out of the gate?
Yes. We build PCI DSS and CCPA and GDPR handling into the architecture before customer data moves, rather than bolting it on later. Role-based access, action logging, and data rules are in from the start, and audit trails stay queryable so a review is never a scramble.
If this doesn't work out, do we keep anything?
Your submitted content and customer data remain yours. Developer accounts, domains, code licenses, exports, handoff, notice, and service-end terms are documented in the signed agreement.
