Recognise yourself

If any of this sounds familiar, the call is worth it

  • Product data inconsistencies between Shopify, Amazon and your wholesale portal eat hours every week.
  • Customer service is firefighting WISMO, returns and order-status queries from morning to night.
  • You cannot see true margin by SKU, channel or promo, so promo decisions are guesses.
  • AI tools on copywriting and chat have not paid back, and the costs are starting to add up.

Relevant case study

From the founders' track record.

Customer Service AI

CS

Challenge

Support volume swung three to five times higher in peak season. Scaling headcount for the peaks was slow and expensive, and quality slipped under pressure.

What was built

A customer-service AI strategy and tooling stack: response automation, AI triage and storefront chatbot integration, all chosen against clear ROI criteria so a lean team could absorb the spikes.

Outcome

  • 3 to 5x volume absorbed
  • No added headcount
  • Faster responses
  • ROI-led tool choice

Common questions

Things people ask before booking

  • We use Shopify and Klaviyo already. Where does AI fit?

    On the parts of your operating model that are still manual: product data, CS triage, replenishment and post-purchase flows. We map them on the call.

  • We tried an AI chatbot. It was awful. Why is this different?

    Because the bot was not the problem. The unstructured product-data and CS workflows around it were.

  • How long does the call take?

    Thirty to forty-five minutes.

A simple guarantee

If we cannot map at least three quick wins for you on the call, you walk away with a written referral to a more relevant specialist. No charge, no hard feelings.
