E-commerce Support

Order, returns, and shopper support for online retail brands.

Overview

What we deliver

We handle order questions, returns, and pre-sales chat for e-commerce stores so shoppers get fast answers and your team can focus on growth.

We run end-to-end customer support for e-commerce brands across email, chat, voice, and social. Our agents work inside your help desk and store admin to answer product questions, process returns and refunds, track shipments, resolve carrier issues, and recover abandoned carts. We staff against your order volume and seasonal peaks, so wait times stay short during sales events and holiday spikes. Coverage runs business hours, extended hours, or full 24×7 depending on your geography and SKU mix. We document every workflow in your knowledge base, train agents on brand voice and policy, and report on contact reasons each week so you can fix product or process issues at the source. The result is a support function that protects revenue, reduces refund rates, and keeps shoppers coming back.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Two weeks before our seed round we still did not have a defensible model. Their fractional CFO rebuilt our three-statement forecast, pressure-tested the assumptions, and walked me through every line before the partner meeting. We closed 1.4M on the terms we wanted. The investor specifically called out how clean the financials looked compared to the last five decks she had seen.

Holiday season was about to break us. We needed 22 agents in six weeks and our internal hiring pipeline could not move that fast. They staffed it, trained on our tone guide, and ran nesting alongside our senior reps. CSAT actually went up by three points during peak. First Q4 in four years my support lead took her vacation.
