In the past year I've been co-running a micro-business with John Cant. Between us we've built, marketed and looked after a Shopify app called AutoTag. In a nutshell it allows small businesses who deliver locally to accept delivery dates and tag orders for easier processing.

We started with one small UK based company, one year later and our client list spans from a confectionery shop in Amsterdam to florists in Malaysia and Panama. At the last time of counting, we have processed over 15 thousand orders in 11 different currencies. Whilst we only play a small role in these businesses, it is satisfying to see a simple product in use all over the world.

So next time you're buying local online, your order might well be helped along by us!
