    What we build

    6 e-commerce workflows we automate end-to-end.

    Each starts with a 2–4 week proof of concept on your real order data. You see results before committing to a full build.

    Workflow Automation

    Order Management Automation

    Incoming orders trigger a multi-step workflow: inventory check, fulfillment routing, carrier selection, label generation, and customer confirmation — all without a human touching the queue. Exception handling (out-of-stock, address mismatch, payment hold) escalates to your ops team with full context already attached.

    Up to 85% reduction in manual order processing time (industry estimate)

    Voice AI + Chat AI

    AI Customer Support — Order Inquiries

    A trained AI agent handles "where is my order," tracking updates, delivery exceptions, and estimated arrival questions against your OMS in real time. Customers get answers in seconds at any hour. Your support team handles the 20–30% that need human judgment — returns disputes, damaged items, address corrections.

    Industry benchmark: 60–70% of order-related tickets deflectable by AI

    Workflow Automation

    Returns & Refund Processing

    Customers initiate returns via chat or voice. The AI validates eligibility against your policy, generates the return label, updates your OMS, and triggers the refund workflow — all before the conversation ends. For edge cases (damaged goods, fraud signals, high-value items), the AI packages the context and routes to a specialist.

    Returns processed in minutes, not days

    Workflow Automation

    Inventory & Supplier Workflow Automation

    Reorder triggers, supplier PO generation, lead-time alerts, and stockout notifications automated end-to-end. When inventory crosses a threshold, the workflow runs: generate PO, email supplier, update ERP, notify the buying team. No manual monitoring, no spreadsheet hand-offs.

    Stockouts and over-orders caught before they become customer problems

    Workflow Automation

    Post-Purchase Communication Sequences

    Order confirmation, shipment notification, delivery confirmation, review request, and replenishment nudge — all triggered automatically by order events in your OMS. Each message is generated by AI with order-specific detail, not a template with blank fields. Sequences branch based on delivery status, product category, and customer history.

    Zero manual sends; every touchpoint covered

    AI Agent

    Fraud & Chargeback Triage

    High-risk orders flagged for review before fulfillment — not after a chargeback. The AI scores orders against your historical fraud patterns, applies configurable rules, and either clears the order, holds it for review, or cancels automatically. Chargeback responses auto-drafted with transaction evidence and sent to your payment processor.

    Chargebacks addressed before they become disputes

    Platform integrations

    Works with your stack, not against it.

    We integrate with every major e-commerce platform, OMS, ERP, and customer support tool. Custom stacks are handled during the PoC — if it has an API, we can connect.

    Shopify

    Order, inventory, and customer data via Shopify Admin API and webhooks

    WooCommerce

    Full order lifecycle via WooCommerce REST API

    Magento / Adobe Commerce

    OMS and catalog integration via REST and GraphQL APIs

    Salesforce Commerce

    B2C and B2B order management, customer profiles

    NetSuite / ERP

    Inventory, PO, and fulfillment sync via SuiteScript and REST

    Zendesk / Freshdesk

    Ticket creation, updating, and closure via AI agents

    ShipStation / Easyship

    Label generation and carrier routing automation

    Klaviyo / Attentive

    Post-purchase and lifecycle campaign triggers

    What we hear before the PoC

    "Our operations are too complex to automate."

    "Our order workflows are too complex to automate."

    Complex is usually "high-branching," not "impossible." We map every branch — backorders, split shipments, address errors, fraud holds — and build explicit handling for each. The AI handles the 80% common path; exceptions route to humans with full context pre-loaded. The PoC runs on your real order data so you see exactly how your edge cases are handled before committing.

    "We can't afford for AI to get a return or refund wrong."

    Neither can we. High-stakes decisions (refunds above threshold, fraud escalations, disputed charges) always route to a human in the first phase. The AI handles intake, validation, and preparation. You approve the action. Over time, as you build confidence in the decision logic, the automation boundary expands — on your schedule.

    "Our tech stack is custom-built — it won't integrate."

    We've integrated with every shape of custom OMS. If it has an API (REST, GraphQL, webhook), we can connect to it. If it doesn't, we build a thin integration layer during the PoC. The 2–4 week timeline includes integration work — not just the AI logic.

    How we start

    PoC in 2–4 weeks on your real order data.

    We pick one workflow — usually order management or support ticket automation — and build a working prototype against your actual OMS or support data. You get a live demo, accuracy metrics, and a fixed quote for the full build. 90% of PoCs move to production.

    If the PoC doesn't demonstrate measurable ROI (time saved, tickets deflected, orders processed faster), we refund the PoC fee in full. No risk, concrete data.
