Vancouver, BC - March 5th, 2025 - Teifi Digital, a close Shopify Plus Partner, is proud to announce the launch of WorkMate, the essential Shopify extension built to empower bike retailers. With powerful features, WorkMate serves as both an Inventory Management System (IMS) and a Retail Management System (RMS), enabling bike shops to seamlessly manage work orders, purchase orders, special orders, task assignments, employee schedules, transfer orders, and automated purchase order reordering-all within Shopify's ecosystem.
As more bike shops adopt Shopify for their direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales, WorkMate ensures they can now fully leverage Shopify POS for in-store digital operations. Bike shops no longer need multiple disconnected systems-WorkMate brings everything together, allowing seamless management of b o t h e C o m m e r c e and in-store workflows.
By unifying digital operations under one platform, WorkMate helps retailers significantly lower the cost of ownership. Combining service management, retail operations, and inventory all within the Shopify ecosystem provides an affordable, integrated solution that reduces complexity and eliminates the need for multiple third-party systems.
"With this launch, bike retailers can now fully integrate their service and sales operations into Shopify," said Peter Tivy, Founder at Teifi Digital. "WorkMate transforms Shopify into an end-to-end retail and
service solution, covering all aspects of operations through its IMS and RMS capabilities, specifically tailored for the unique needs of bike retailers."
Built by Industry Experts for the Bike Industry
Teifi Digital isn't just another tech company-its extensive roots in the bike, automotive, and technical verticals have allowed it to capture more use cases and offer a comprehensive product. The team understands bike retailers' unique challenges, streamlining complex business problems and ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
Teifi Labs: Innovating for the Shopify's Retail Extensibility
"We're also introducing Teifi Labs to specialize and develop apps like WorkMate for the Shopify ecosystem," continues Tivy. "By working in lockstep with Shopify to optimize bike vertical workflows, we're ensuring that retailers have the tools they need to thrive"
Teifi Labs will be integral in developing an innovative bike data feed solution for Shopify that enables direct sync for product data, costs, and inventory. Retailers can plug into major industry players like Giant, Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, HLC, JBI, and QBP. The new integration eliminates manual stock info updates, helping shops stay competitive and efficient.
"The bicycle industry is so far behind in the present-day technology world-especially given how complicated the retail side is," details Ken Smith, President of Bike Mart in Texas. "Teifi has been a great partner and helped us bring our website, POS, and work orders into the modern world. If we have any needs, they listen and ensure everything works perfectly."
