Insights from ShedPro’s CEO, James Price, on the Shed Geek Podcast
01. The Rise of Digital Tools in the Shed Industry
During the pandemic, businesses had to adapt quickly, and the shed industry was no different. James explained that while COVID drove sales in the short term, businesses also began adopting digital tools to manage the sudden demand. As the pandemic has receded, the focus has shifted to generating more leads and sales opportunities. ShedPro saw an increase in inquiries for solutions like 3D configurators, optimized websites, and platforms such as Sheds for Sale or Shed Hub.
Those embracing these tools are seeing continued success, even as the economy tightens. By leveraging these digital storefronts, businesses have smoothed out their sales processes and maintained strong sales, while others in the industry struggle.
02. Introducing the ShedPro Platform
One key takeaway from the episode was the introduction of the ShedPro Platform, which includes tools for both sales and operations. ShedPro offers an all-in-one solution that covers the entire sales process—from lead generation to post-sale management, including production, inventory, and delivery management.
The ShedPro platform provides a complete solution for your business, from custom websites, e-commerce, and targeted Google Ads to custom 3D configurators, covering the entire sales process and operations—from lead management to inventory and delivery—all through a single, unified platform. The ShedPro Platform will debut at this year’s ShedBuilder Expo 2024 in Grand Rapids, Michigan!
03. The Importance of Tiny Home Customization
As demand for tiny homes grows, ShedPro is stepping up to meet that need. Many businesses requested the ability to customize tiny home interiors, leading ShedPro to develop a tiny home configurator that allows customers to design everything from floor plans to interior finishes.
This feature enhances the customer experience while opening new revenue streams for shed businesses. As James highlighted, profit margins on tiny homes are often higher than on traditional sheds, making this an important addition to any business’s offerings.
04. Balancing Business Growth and Personal Life
Beyond business, James also shared insights on integrating work and personal life. As a business owner, he emphasized the importance of having core values in business and life. The integration of life, work, and values are keys to long term success in life and business.
He stressed the need to maintain strong customer relationships and embed core values into every aspect of the business. By focusing on customer satisfaction and staying true to their principles, ShedPro aims to create a lasting impact in the industry.

The shed industry is experiencing a digital transformation, and ShedPro is leading the charge. With tools like the 3D configurator, optimized websites, Google Ads, and sales and operations management tools, ShedPro offers businesses a complete solution to streamline operations, increase customer engagement, and boost sales.
