Ecommerce & D2CAI Automation and AI Visibility for Online Brands and Retailers

70% of your carts are abandoned.
Most of your customers never
buy a second time. AI fixes both.

Ecommerce revenue is lost at two moments: when customers leave without buying, and when they buy once and never come back. AI automation recovers both — automatically, at scale, without adding headcount.

Abandoned cart recovery that converts within minutes. Post-purchase retention that drives repeat orders. Support that resolves 70% of tickets instantly. Inventory workflows that run without manual input. And if you want your brand cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity — we build that too.

THE PROBLEM

Ecommerce brands spend everything acquiring customers and almost nothing keeping them.

The average D2C brand spends 5-7x more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. Yet most brands have no automated system for abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase retention, or customer reactivation.

Support teams spend 80% of their time answering the same 10 questions. Inventory managers are running spreadsheets. And when a consumer searches for your product category on ChatGPT, your brand does not appear.

AI does not replace your team. It handles every repetitive, scalable task so your team focuses on brand, product, and growth.

Without AI

  • ×700 out of every 1,000 sessions end without a purchase
  • ×Support takes hours to answer simple order questions
  • ×First-time buyer never hears from the brand again
  • ×Inventory managed with reactive spreadsheets
  • ×Brand invisible in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers

WHAT NEXUM BUILDS

AI systems built specifically for ecommerce and D2C brands

Every system is done-for-you. Nexum builds, integrates, and maintains it. Your team just uses it.

System 01

Abandoned Cart Recovery

Recovers 5-15% of abandoned carts with personalized AI sequences

When a customer leaves without completing purchase, the AI triggers a personalized recovery sequence within 15-30 minutes. The first message references the exact items in their cart. The second, sent at 24 hours, adds social proof or urgency. The third, at 72 hours, closes the window. Every message is personalized based on cart value, customer history, and product category. No generic blasts.

Channels

  • SMS (highest open rate)
  • Email sequences
  • WhatsApp (where applicable)
  • Push notifications

Integrates with

  • Shopify and Shopify Plus
  • WooCommerce, BigCommerce
  • Klaviyo, Postscript, Attentive
  • Custom checkout platforms

System 02

Customer Support Automation

Resolves 70-80% of tickets instantly without human involvement

The top 5 support ticket types in ecommerce — order status, shipping updates, returns, refunds, and product questions — account for 70-80% of total support volume. AI handles all of them instantly, 24/7, with accurate answers pulled from your order management system, shipping carriers, and product database. Human agents receive only the tickets that require judgment: complaints, complex issues, and escalations.

What AI handles

  • Order status and tracking
  • Return and refund initiation
  • Product questions and sizing
  • Discount code requests

Integrates with

  • Gorgias, Zendesk, Freshdesk
  • Shopify order management
  • All major shipping carriers
  • Returns platforms (Loop, Returnly)

System 03

Post-Purchase Retention & LTV Automation

Drives 20-30% more repeat purchases through personalized AI flows

The most profitable customer is the one who already bought from you. Post-purchase retention automation builds the relationship after the first order: product onboarding content, review requests at the optimal moment, personalized reorder reminders based on consumption patterns, cross-sell recommendations based on purchase history, and win-back sequences for customers who have gone quiet.

Sequence types

  • Post-purchase onboarding
  • Review and UGC requests
  • Reorder and replenishment reminders
  • Cross-sell and upsell flows
  • Win-back sequences

Integrates with

  • Klaviyo, Omnisend
  • Postscript, Attentive (SMS)
  • Shopify, WooCommerce
  • Loyalty platforms (Yotpo, Smile.io)

System 04

Inventory & Fulfillment Automation

Eliminates manual inventory tracking and reduces stockouts and overstock

AI inventory automation monitors stock levels in real time, triggers reorder alerts before stockouts occur, syncs inventory across all sales channels automatically, flags slow-moving SKUs for promotion or clearance, and generates demand forecasting reports based on historical sales patterns and seasonality. Inventory managers stop running spreadsheets and start making decisions.

What it automates

  • Low stock alerts and reorder triggers
  • Multi-channel inventory sync
  • Demand forecasting reports
  • Slow-mover identification

Integrates with

  • Shopify, WooCommerce inventory
  • 3PL platforms (ShipBob, Deliverr)
  • Amazon, Walmart, eBay channels
  • ERP and warehouse systems

System 05

AI Product Recommendations & Personalization

Increases average order value and repeat purchase rate through behavioral AI

AI recommendation engines analyze purchase history, browsing behavior, and customer segments to surface the right products at the right moment — on site, in email, and via SMS. Bundles are suggested based on what customers with similar profiles buy together. Upsells are triggered at checkout. Cross-sells are delivered post-purchase. Every recommendation is data-driven, not manually curated.

Recommendation types

  • Checkout upsell and cross-sell
  • Post-purchase complementary products
  • Personalized email product blocks
  • Browse abandonment recommendations

Integrates with

  • Shopify product catalog
  • Klaviyo dynamic blocks
  • On-site recommendation widgets
  • Custom storefront APIs

System 06

GEO — AI Search Visibility for Ecommerce

Makes your brand the cited answer when consumers search on ChatGPT and Perplexity

What GEO includes

  • AI visibility audit across 5 platforms

  • Citation strategy for product reviews
