E-commerce Ops

AI-Powered E-commerce Operations & Autonomous Retail Management Platform

Silent financial failures 0

Multi-store ingest, exception center, returns/CX/supplier agents, and HITL on refunds/POs.

M0–M10 complete · API 1.0.0

The problem

Multi-store retail ops drown in delays, stockouts, refunds, and silent automation failures.

  • Multi-store chaos

    Orders/inventory fragmented across channels.

  • Ungoverned AI

    Refunds/POs without HITL.

  • Exception blindness

    No shared exception center.

  • Silent financial failures

    Automation dies mid-refund or PO.

  • Supplier lag

    Stockouts and overdue POs without agents.

The solution

FastAPI owns exceptions/HITL/financial gates; n8n owns store ingest/notify — refunds never silent-fail.

Governed commerce ops AI across Shopify/Woo/Custom/Magento — exception center, MCP agents, and HITL on money paths.

  • CDM ingest

    Shopify/Woo/Custom/Magento normalized events.

  • Exception Center

    Operator queue for delays, stockouts, refunds.

  • MCP agents

    Returns/CX/supplier with allowlists.

  • HITL money paths

    Refunds/POs require approval.

  • Cost hard-stop

    Budget/eval controls on AI spend.

Stores → n8n CDM ingest → FastAPI exceptions/agents/HITL → Postgres/Qdrant → ERP/carrier stubs → dashboard
