AI Agents for Retail and Ecommerce
AI agents can take real work off your team's plate—support, merchandising, marketing ops, and planning—by running end-to-end workflows across the tools you already use, with clear guardrails and human approval where it matters. This page is about building those systems in a way that's practical, measurable, and safe to run in production.
Approach
What "Agentic" Means Here
Most automation stops at recommendations or content drafts; agentic systems can plan steps, take actions in connected systems, and escalate when confidence is low or policy requires it. The goal isn't autonomy for its own sake—it's fewer manual handoffs, faster cycle times, and cleaner execution across teams.
Retail and ecommerce teams usually see the biggest impact in three areas: customer experience, revenue/margin, and operations—especially when work spans multiple systems (storefront, support desk, ESP, analytics, ERP/WMS). Agentic approaches are often used for dynamic merchandising and faster decisions tied to inventory and shopper behavior.
Use Cases
Use Cases That Ship
Customer + Retention
- Support Triage and Resolution
-
Handle order status, returns/exchanges, address changes, and delivery exceptions, with clean escalation to a human when needed.
- Shopping Assistance
-
Answer product questions, recommend bundles, and guide shoppers to the right choice without feeling like a rigid chatbot flow.
Merchandising + Growth
- Catalog and PDP Enrichment
-
Maintain attributes, descriptions, and FAQs that stay consistent with your brand voice and route changes for review.
- Campaign Operations Support
-
Generate segmentation ideas, draft messaging, and provide QA checks so promos and launches don't break across channels.
Ops + Margin
- Inventory and Replenishment Support
-
Turn demand signals into recommended actions, with confidence scoring and approvals.
- Pricing and Markdown Proposals
-
Respect constraints (MAP, margin floors, inventory) instead of "black box" changes.
Services
Consulting Engagements
Work is scoped to outcomes and designed for production: instrumentation, evals, audit trails, and role-based controls from day one. The typical path starts with a focused audit, moves into a pilot tied to a KPI, and then hardens what works into repeatable patterns your team can operate.
- Opportunity Audit (1–2 weeks)
-
Workflow mapping, use-case shortlist, ROI/risk prioritization, and an implementation plan.
- Pilot → Production (4–8+ weeks)
-
Build one or two agents end-to-end (integrations, guardrails, evals, monitoring, and handoffs).
- Team Enablement
-
Standards and playbooks for prompts, policies, evaluation, and on-call/runbook readiness.
Training
Training (Operators + Builders)
Training is hands-on and built around your workflows, not generic demos: how to pick the right use cases, design guardrails, and run agents with human oversight. Sessions can be tailored for support, ecommerce/merch, marketing ops, analytics, and engineering so everyone shares the same operating model.
