What 3 Point does

3 Point LLC is a privately-held boutique commerce operations consultancy founded in 2018 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The firm serves consumer brands operating on the Shopify Plus e-commerce platform, providing fractional executive-level commerce and technology leadership alongside operational advisory services. Its primary offering, Commerce Operations Intelligence, is positioned as an operational risk identification and visibility service that helps brands detect friction across systems, partners, and workflows before it manifests as fulfillment disruption, customer impact, or lost revenue. The firm's portfolio is organized into three integrated service modules: Commerce Operations (embedded support across fulfillment, customer experience, and operations), Fractional Leadership (executive-level commerce and technology leadership without full-time overhead), and Commerce Systems (advisory and implementation across Shopify Plus, ERP, OMS, fulfillment, and returns).

Underlying the service portfolio is a commerce operations technology stack spanning Shopify Plus, ERP systems, Order Management Systems, fulfillment platforms, and returns management systems, supported by integrations with these platforms. The firm does not disclose proprietary software, an API, or a SaaS application; rather, the offering is delivered through professional services engagements. The single visible branded asset is a dashboard mock for Commerce Operations Intelligence dated June 2026, suggesting an intent to productize operational visibility, though no live product is confirmed.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through ongoing fractional leadership and consulting engagements with Shopify Plus brands. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are established through a consultation-based sales motion. The firm is led by John Wood, Embedded Commerce Operations Partner and founder, with 17+ years of commerce operations, technology transformation, and order-to-cash execution experience. The firm is bootstrapped with no institutional investors, parent company, or public listing, and headcount is undisclosed but listed in the 1-10 range. Go-to-market is direct, with John Wood personally reviewing all inquiries and responding within one business day, supported by a professional website with a "Schedule a Conversation" call to action.
