Services · What we build

Four AI systems. Built on real e-commerce ops. Live in 2–6 weeks.

Each one is a productized automation Orion installs, trains on your data, documents, and hands you the keys to. No black boxes. No vendor lock-in. No surprise invoices.

01 · Flagship

Inbox triage agent.

AI that reads every customer email, classifies it, drafts a response, and routes anything urgent — trained on your past tickets, fluent in your voice.

The average e-commerce team spends 3 hours a day in customer email. Most of those emails are repeats — "where's my order," "can I return this," "what's the warranty." Your team isn't solving problems; they're transcribing the same answers over and over.

Our triage agent reads everything coming in, classifies by intent, drafts a contextual reply pulling from your past responses and your knowledge base, and routes anything genuinely urgent to a human. You review and send.

What's included

  • Trained on up to 12 months of your past support tickets
  • Custom intent classifier — your categories, not generic ones
  • Response drafts in your brand voice with editable preview
  • Urgent flag system (refunds, threats, legal language, VIPs)
  • Daily and weekly performance reports
  • Lives inside Gmail, Zendesk, Help Scout, or Front
  • 30 days of post-launch tuning included
// Why this one is different

Most "AI inbox" tools are wrappers around ChatGPT with a CRM bolted on. This is trained on your tickets and learns your edge cases — the supplier who always emails about back-orders, the wholesale buyer who needs Net 30 terms, the recurring fraud pattern from a specific zip code.

Order operations engine.

End-to-end automation for the order lifecycle — status updates, refund flows, fraud checks, returns processing, shipping notifications.

Every e-commerce store has the same broken pattern: an order comes in, twelve things have to happen, and at least three of them require a human to copy-paste between tabs. We replace that whole layer with a single orchestrated system.

The result is a back-office that runs itself. Your team handles edge cases and high-value relationships. Routine orders flow through untouched.

What's included

  • Real-time order status updates pushed to customer email/SMS
  • Automated refund flow with policy-aware decisioning
  • Fraud screening on high-risk orders
  • Return label generation + RMA tracking
  • Shipping notification orchestration across carriers
  • Slack alerts for exceptions only — no notification noise
  • Dashboard showing what ran, what flagged, what saved
// Why this one is different

This system has been shipped on a battery store with HAZMAT compliance requirements. If it can handle lithium battery shipping declarations and FBA restricted-category routing, it can handle your shoe brand.

03 · Growth

Lead enrichment pipeline.

Every new lead gets researched, scored, enriched with firmographics, and dropped into the right sequence — before your sales team sees it.

B2B sales is mostly a research problem. Your reps spend 40% of their time figuring out who someone is, what they do, and whether they're worth a follow-up. This pipeline does that work the moment a lead enters your system.

The lead lands on your rep's plate fully briefed. Hot leads route to high-touch sequences. Cold leads get warming nurture. Bad-fit leads get politely declined.

What's included

  • Apollo + Clay + ZoomInfo enrichment (chosen based on your budget)
  • Custom scoring model trained on your past closed-won data
  • Auto-routing into GHL, HubSpot, or Salesforce sequences
  • Intent signal monitoring (job changes, funding events, tech adoption)
  • Duplicate detection and merge logic
  • Weekly leaderboard report + Slack alerts for hot leads
// Why this one is different

Most lead-enrichment setups stop at "fill in the firmographics." This scores against your closed-won pattern. If your best customers are 25-person Shopify stores in beauty doing $2M/year, those surface first.

04 · Custom

Bespoke workflows.

Got a specific bottleneck the productized offers don't cover? Orion will scope it, build it, and hand you the keys.

Sometimes the problem isn't email or orders or leads — it's the weird thing your business specifically deals with. Listing optimization across 14 SKU variants. Repricing engine for a regulated category. The thing no agency builds because it's "too custom."

That's where this lives. Two-week discovery, written scope, fixed price, iterative deployment.

How it works

  • Week 1–2: Discovery, mapping, written scope document
  • Week 3–4: Build in staging, weekly demos
  • Week 5+: Deploy to production, monitor, iterate
  • You get the source code, documentation, and runbook
  • Optional retainer for ongoing improvements
// Worth knowing

About 70% of custom project pitches get turned down — not because they're hard, but because they shouldn't be automated yet. If your problem is a spreadsheet problem, you'll hear that on the discovery call.

Before you book

Not sure which one fits?

That's normal. Most buyers don't know what to ask for until Orion maps their ops. The 30-minute discovery call is free, structured, and ends with a written recommendation — even if you don't hire him.

Frequently asked

Answers, upfront.

The questions that come up on every discovery call.

What if the AI makes a mistake?
Every system has a human-in-the-loop checkpoint by default. Draft responses are reviewed before sending. Refunds above a threshold need approval. Returns-fraud flags surface for human review. AI handles the volume; you handle the judgment calls. Thresholds are tuned based on your risk tolerance during the first 30 days post-launch.
Do I own the automation, or do I rent it?
You own it. Full stop. You get the source code, the documentation, the API keys, the runbook. If Orion got hit by a bus tomorrow, your team or any other developer could maintain it. No lock-in — that's a core principle.
Can I see it working before I pay?
Yes. Everything is built in a staging environment first and demoed on a sandboxed slice of your data before deployment. The first 25% of the project fee is a deposit at kickoff; the remainder is paid at acceptance. You don't pay for something that doesn't work.
What if my tools aren't on the integration list?
Tool-agnostic by design. If your platform has an API or webhook system, it can be integrated. If it doesn't, you'll hear that upfront. Some legacy systems are genuinely hard — those get quoted honestly or redirected to a different approach.
How much will the AI API costs add to my bill?
For most automations, ongoing model costs run $50–$300/month depending on volume. Billed directly to your account — no markup. Models are chosen based on cost-per-task: cheap models for classification, premium models for nuanced drafting. Most clients see total tool spend under $500/month.
Do you work with stores under $1M revenue?
Honestly, not usually. The math on a $4,500+ engagement doesn't pencil out for most pre-$1M stores. If you're under that threshold, the right answer is probably a virtual assistant or a no-code tool like Zapier — and you'll hear that on the discovery call. The goal is the right answer, not the expensive one.
