The Challenge
Hartwell was losing 68% of carts at checkout and sending the same generic recovery email to every customer. Their post-purchase sequence was a single thank-you email. Inventory mismatches were causing stockouts on top sellers 3–4 times per quarter, each costing $30K–$80K in lost sales. Their 3-person marketing team was overwhelmed and unable to personalize at scale.
What We Built
We built three interconnected AI agents: a cart recovery agent that sends personalized abandonment sequences based on cart contents, browsing history, and customer segment; a post-purchase upsell agent that identifies the highest-probability next purchase and triggers targeted offers at optimal timing; and an inventory intelligence agent that monitors sell-through rates, flags reorder points 4 weeks in advance, and drafts purchase orders for review.
Results
“We were leaving seven figures on the table every year. The AI agents found it, fixed it, and now it runs automatically. I genuinely can't believe we operated any other way.”
