The challenge

You are the owner. You are the floor manager, the buyer, the bookkeeper, the marketer, and the customer service rep. You do not have a CFO. You do not have an HR team. You do not have a marketing agency.

You need a system that handles the routine work — answering the phone, ordering inventory, sending invoices, posting on social — so you can focus on the work that only you can do.

How Sidian helps

Owner Office

The Chief Agent drafts your daily brief, your weekly owner review, your monthly P&L, and your tax checklist for your accountant.

Customer Service + Marketing Local

Marketing Local drafts your social posts, your local SEO updates, and your customer email campaigns. Customer Service drafts your reply templates, your complaint resolution, and your follow-up thank-yous.

Inventory/Ops + Finance/Tax

Inventory/Ops drafts your reorder reminders, vendor orders, and waste tracking. Finance/Tax drafts your invoice templates, your expense categorization, and your accountant-ready reports. Bank transfers are gated by approval routes.

A day in the life

  • 7:00 AMYou open Sidian. The Chief Agent has prepared a daily brief: 4 customer messages overnight (3 answered by the Customer Service agent, 1 needs your approval), 1 low inventory alert (the Inventory agent drafted a reorder), and 1 weekly owner review draft.
  • 8:00 AMYou approve the 1 customer message. The Marketing Local agent drafts a social post for today's special. You approve. The post publishes.
  • 12:00 PMYou walk the floor. The Inventory agent sends you a low-stock alert. You approve the reorder. The vendor receives the order.
  • 3:00 PMYou ask the Chief Agent: "What changed today?" The summary: 6 customer messages answered, 2 social posts published, 1 inventory reorder, 1 invoice sent, 1 tax checklist updated.
  • 6:00 PMYou sign off. The Chief Agent drafts tomorrow's brief.
