Same-day response on Eastern Time, Monday through Friday 9 to 6, with weekly Friday demos and emergency support 24/7.

Eastern Time coverage Monday through Friday 9 to 6, weekly Friday demos on ET. The audience reference points we look at when shaping a Detroit engagement include the automotive aftermarket DTC operators, the Motor City heritage apparel brands carrying the Detroit-revival narrative, and the B2B manufacturers serving the automotive supply chain.
For technical depth, we ship inside the Shopify Admin API and Shopify Functions; we integrate Klaviyo for retention and PIES/ACES feeds for fitment data; we plan with Figma and ship through GitHub; reporting flows through Looker Studio.
§ 06 · detroit questions
Five questions DET founders ask.
Do you have an office in Detroit?
Digital Heroes is a remote-first agency with HQs in New York and Delhi plus offices in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. We work with Detroit brands on Eastern Time hours (9 to 6 ET, Monday through Friday) with same-day Slack response. We do not maintain a Detroit-local office and we will not invent one.
Do you handle vehicle-fitment SKU complexity for automotive aftermarket?
Yes. For automotive aftermarket brands we build vehicle-year-make-model selectors, fitment-aware product detail surfaces, and SKU rules that surface only the parts compatible with the selected vehicle. We integrate with the brand's existing fitment data source (PIES/ACES feeds, custom databases, or supplier APIs) and ensure the data flows back into Shopify metafields cleanly.
What kinds of Detroit brands do you typically work with?
Our typical Detroit fit is an automotive aftermarket DTC operator, a Motor City heritage workwear or lifestyle brand carrying the Detroit-revival narrative, or a B2B manufacturing-corridor brand serving the automotive supply chain. The shared thread is operator-led brands above 50K monthly revenue with a real growth roadmap.
Will you fly to Detroit for kickoff or quarterly reviews?
Yes. For retainer engagements we include quarterly in-person sessions either at the client location across the DET metro (downtown, Corktown, Eastern Market, Midtown, Royal Oak, Ferndale) or at an agreed neutral spot. For one-off Shopify Plus builds we typically include a launch-week trip and a 60-day post-launch review trip in scope.
How quickly can you scope a Detroit project?
30-minute discovery call gets booked typically within a week. Written scope plus fixed-price quote returns within 48 hours of that call. For Shopify Plus replatforms with fitment-data integration we layer a 7 to 10 business day technical-discovery phase before the quote becomes binding because the data complexity earns the extra week.
§ 07 · scope the detroit build

30-minute call on ET. Written scope and fixed-price quote in 48 hours. In-person across DET metro for retainer engagements.
