More Than Software: How ShedPro Is Serving the Shed Industry with Purpose and Precision

James Price’s mission-first journey led to a platform transforming how shed businesses grow.
On a recent episode of the Shed Geek podcast, host Shannon sat down with James Price, CEO and co-founder of ShedPro, to talk about where the industry is going and why it matters who’s building the tools that get you there.
The conversation quickly went deeper than software. Because for James, this company started with a conviction.
“We asked ourselves, is life just about making money, or is there more we’re supposed to do?” James shared.
That question led James and his wife on a journey halfway around the world, from government contracting in the U.S. to starting a digital marketing agency in Vietnam. Their goal wasn’t just business success. It was service through business, what James calls “business as mission.”
A Calling That Became a Company
While in Vietnam, James began working with a shed company in his hometown of Harrisonburg, Virginia. That first client led to a few more. Then, within 60 days, three different shed businesses approached him with the same question:
“Can you build a 3D configurator for us?”
That request sparked the beginning of ShedPro.
Over the next few years, James and his team narrowed their focus and went all-in on one mission: helping shed businesses thrive. They exited all work outside the shed industry and began developing a robust platform that solves real problems builders and dealers face every day.
Today, ShedPro provides:
- A high-performing 3D Configurator
- Integrated Point of Sale and contract tools
- Inventory and delivery management
- Website development and Google Ads services
- A customizable “Ops Hub” for full operational control
In short, it’s the only shed-specific platform built by people who know the industry, and care deeply about the people in it.
Excellence Is the Standard
For James, mixing faith and business doesn’t mean lowering the bar. In fact, it means raising it.
“If we say we believe in an excellent God, then we have to strive for excellence in what we build,” he said.
That mindset shows up in how ShedPro operates daily. The company invests heavily in team training, including tools like the Predictive Index to better understand work styles and build strong collaboration across departments. When customers send in a compliment, the team rings a bell in the office to celebrate together.
That culture of excellence and encouragement has become a trademark of ShedPro’s client relationships.
“You can feel the difference working with them,” Shannon said. “They take care of people—and they deliver.”
Digital Tools Built for a Real Industry
While many businesses understand the value of digital, James emphasized that far too many shed companies are still underinvested in their online presence.
“Everyone has a Facebook page,” he joked. “But that’s not the same as having a lead-generating website or a smart ad strategy.”
From underperforming websites to a lack of Google Business optimization, James has seen firsthand how even large companies are leaving money on the table.
ShedPro is changing that. By combining marketing expertise with industry-specific knowledge, they’re giving builders and dealers tools that not only look good—but work.
Businesses that use ShedPro’s platform consistently report more leads, steadier sales, and better data-driven decision-making, even in uncertain markets.
Staying Focused to Serve Better
ShedPro’s success isn’t about the tools they build alone. It’s also about what they’ve chosen not to do.
Rather than expanding into other verticals, James made a strategic decision to stay focused on the shed industry. That choice allowed the team to build tools that go deep, not wide. As a result, ShedPro clients benefit from a team that understands their world and speaks their language.
“We say no to a lot of projects,” James admitted. “But it helps us say yes to the right ones.”
This disciplined focus also allows ShedPro to serve underserved parts of the market. For example, when dealers want access to the configurator but their manufacturer doesn’t provide one, ShedPro offers affordable options that lower the barrier to entry, without cutting corners.
A Vision for the Future
As the industry evolves, ShedPro is already ahead of the curve. They’re investing deeper into their Ops Hub system, expanding configurator functionality (including for tiny homes), and working toward fully integrated sales-to-delivery solutions.
Vertical integration is the next wave, and ShedPro is building the bridge that will take shed companies there.
“From lead to delivery, we want to help businesses control the entire customer experience,” James said.
And for those thinking about stepping into the tiny home market, ShedPro is preparing the tools and support needed to make that transition easier, more compliant, and more profitable.
Final Thoughts: Faith, Focus, and the Future
What stood out most in this conversation wasn’t James’s vision or ShedPro’s product roadmap. It was the heart behind the business.
This isn’t a company building shed software for the sake of it. This is a team called to serve.
“You can’t multiply yourself. But you can build a great team. That’s what we’re doing,” James said.
From its beginnings in ministry to its place today as one of the most respected names in the industry, ShedPro proves that business can be a force for good. It can serve customers with integrity, solve real problems, and lift up an entire industry.
