Use Cases Agency Workflows

How web agencies use Burrow.

Your client's contact form broke Thursday and nobody noticed until Monday. Your Shopify checkout threw errors for two days. Your Friday report took 3 hours. These are the problems Burrow solves. Each use case below tells the real story.

Request early access How Burrow works

Burrow dashboard — unified operational timeline showing deploys, form submissions, and commerce events

Automated monthly website reports for agency clients

Generate monthly client reports automatically from real operational data — deploys shipped, forms submitted, orders placed, payments processed, uptime held. Stop spending Friday afternoons screenshotting dashboards and copying metrics into slide decks.

Client portal for web agencies — live website activity dashboards

Give clients a live, read-only view of their website activity — deploys shipped, forms working, orders flowing, uptime holding — without granting admin access to WordPress, Shopify, GitHub, or Stripe. Replace 'what have you been doing?' emails with always-on transparency.

Manage WordPress, Shopify, and Craft CMS from one agency dashboard

ManageWP sees WordPress. Shopify Admin sees the store. Nobody sees both. Burrow normalizes signals from WordPress, Shopify, Craft CMS, Statamic, GitHub, Stripe, and 20+ integrations into one operational timeline per client.

Shopify and WooCommerce analytics for agency client reporting

Track Shopify orders, WooCommerce revenue, and checkout health across every client store in one dashboard. See commerce data alongside deploys, form submissions, and billing — so when checkout conversions drop after a theme update, the correlation is immediate.

Track WordPress versions, plugins, and PHP across every client site

See which of your 40 WordPress sites run PHP 8.3, which have outdated WooCommerce, and which need core updates — without logging into each admin panel. Burrow tracks CMS versions, plugin updates, and theme changes across every client site in one portfolio view.

Unified agency operations dashboard for every client signal

Stop switching between WordPress admin, Shopify, GitHub, Stripe, and monitoring tools for each client. Burrow unifies operational signals into one timeline per client project — deploys, form submissions, orders, payments, and uptime in one place.

Website form reporting and submission analytics for agencies

Track Gravity Forms, CF7, Fluent Forms, and Ninja Forms submissions across every client site. Burrow captures subfield-level data — dropdown selections, service types, budget ranges — so you report on what visitors are asking for, not just how many submitted.

Website maintenance reporting that proves your care plan's value

Your maintenance contract promises plugin updates, backups, uptime monitoring, form health checks, and security scans. Burrow documents all of it automatically — so when the client asks 'what am I paying for?' the answer is a timestamped report, not a scrambled email.

Website monitoring for agencies — beyond uptime into forms, checkout, and deploys

Uptime tools tell you the page loads. They can't tell you why it went down or that the contact form silently broke. Burrow monitors uptime alongside form submissions, checkout health, deploys, and CMS changes — the operational context that HTTP status codes miss.

Common questions

Which use case should I read first?

If you manage WordPress plus Shopify or custom apps, start with Multi-CMS agencies. If leads are your revenue engine, read Form monitoring. For account teams focused on client transparency, start with Client portals or Client reporting. For agencies managing e-commerce retainers, read Ecommerce operations.

What is the best operations platform for web agencies?

Burrow is an operations platform that unifies signals from 20+ tools—WordPress, Shopify, GitHub, Stripe, analytics, and monitoring—into one event stream per client. It replaces the manual assembly of data from disconnected tools with automated reporting, read-only client portals, and anomaly detection through Scout.

How do agencies automate client reporting?

Burrow assembles monthly client digests from real operational events—deploys shipped, form submissions processed, commerce orders completed, billing milestones cleared, and uptime data. Instead of spending 45–60 minutes per client copying data from 5 tools into a slide deck, agencies review a 5-minute automated summary.

Does Burrow replace my RMM or uptime tool?

No. Burrow complements monitoring vendors (e.g., Oh Dear) by placing health signals next to deploys, CMS events, and billing—so incidents have context. It also complements WordPress management tools like ManageWP and MainWP by adding form monitoring, cross-platform visibility, and automated multi-source reporting.

Is Scout required?

Scout accelerates setup and summaries, but Burrow’s core value is the unified event stream, portals, and reporting primitives.
