Commerce Transformation

Your customer journey is leaking revenue
at every step you cannot see.

From the first product page to the loyalty email after the third purchase, every touchpoint is an opportunity to build confidence or lose it. Most organisations can see the order. Very few can see the friction that stops the order from happening, delays the delivery, or prevents the return from becoming another purchase.

Who we work with

Commerce challenges do not scale with company size. The problems are the same.

A Shopify merchant processing 200 orders a day and a mid-market retailer with a £50M online channel face structurally similar friction points. The data is fragmented. The returns process loses customers. The loyalty programme is not connected to the purchasing system. We work with organisations at every stage.

Small business

Growing on Shopify, HubSpot, or a smaller Salesforce footprint

You are processing real volume. You can see the order numbers. What you cannot see is why 68% of carts are abandoned, why your email sequences are not converting, and why customer service contacts after delivery are eating your margin. We give you the diagnostic and the fix without the enterprise price tag.

Mid-market

Salesforce or Shopify Plus with a team but not yet the results

The implementation is done. The CRM is live. The platform is configured. But the AI personalisation is not converting, the customer identity is fragmented across systems, and the board is asking for the ROI. We diagnose what is wrong, fix it, and give you the numbers to take back to the table.

Enterprise

Multi-channel, multi-market, multiple platforms that do not talk to each other

You have the investment, the team, and the platforms. What you do not have is a single view of the customer journey across all of them. We build the integration architecture, data governance, and AI layer that turns your platform estate into a working commerce operation.

The end-to-end customer arc

Every step is an opportunity.
Most organisations only measure the ones that go right.

Aravian maps the full journey from first exposure to post-purchase loyalty, finds the friction at each stage, quantifies the revenue at risk, and tells you exactly where to act first.

Where is my order? is the single most common post-purchase support contact. Without proactive communication, it drives inbound volume and damages NPS.

Loyalty programmes with disconnected data feel generic. The customer spent £400 last quarter. They get the same welcome email as a first-time buyer.

Post-purchase friction

WISMO and WISMR are not support tickets.
They are early warnings.

Every "Where is my order?" query represents a customer whose confidence in your brand is dipping. Every "Where is my return?" represents a customer who is actively deciding whether to buy from you again. The volume of these contacts is a direct measure of broken promise , and almost all of it is preventable.

WISMO · Where is my order?

The post-purchase silence that costs you the next order.

Most customers contact support about their order because communication stopped at the confirmation email. They do not know if the item has shipped, when it will arrive, or what to do if something has gone wrong. Each contact costs your team time and costs you trust.

We build the automated communication layer that keeps the customer informed at every step of the fulfillment process, connected to your actual carrier and warehouse data in real time. No more canned responses. No more WISMO tickets.

40–60% of post-purchase support contacts are WISMO queries that could be fully automated with the right data connections in place.
WISMR · Where is my return?

The moment a return becomes a lost customer instead of the next purchase.

A customer returns a product. They drop it at the post office and hear nothing for five days. They email support. The return is still in transit. They file a chargeback. You have lost the customer, lost the margin on the original order, and incurred the chargeback fee.

We build the returns intelligence layer: automatic tracking from drop-off through to refund, proactive status communication, and an AI agent that handles the case without human intervention in 80% of returns. The customer who gets a great returns experience is your most loyal customer.

96% of customers who have a positive returns experience say they would buy from the same retailer again. Only 49% of those with a poor returns experience say the same.

D2C brand transformation

Building a brand that sells directly, at scale, without breaking the customer relationship.

Direct-to-consumer brands carry a different set of pressures to traditional retailers. The margin expectation is higher. The brand promise is more personal. The customer has chosen to buy directly from you rather than through a marketplace or a high street retailer, and they expect that relationship to feel like it.

Most D2C brands grow their Shopify store to a point where the manual processes that worked at 100 orders a month break down at 1,000. Customer service becomes reactive. Returns processing becomes a cost centre. Personalisation stops scaling. The brand promise starts to slip.

We help D2C brands build the operations that let the brand promise scale alongside the revenue. Not by adding headcount, but by building the AI and integration layer that makes every customer feel like the only customer.

Talk to our D2C team

Shopify and post-purchase automation

Order confirmation, fulfillment updates, delivery alerts, returns initiation, and loyalty reward notification , all automated, all connected to live system data, all on-brand. No tickets, no manual chase, no WISMO.

Personalisation that works below 10,000 orders

Most personalisation platforms are built for enterprise scale. We implement AI-driven product recommendations, segmentation, and loyalty programmes that are cost-effective and accurate for growing D2C brands at any revenue level.

Customer identity across every touchpoint

Email, web, SMS, app, marketplace, and in-person. We build the single customer view that allows every interaction to feel connected, even when the customer switches channels mid-journey.

Margin recovery through operational efficiency

Returns are a margin problem before they are a customer experience problem. We reduce return rates through better pre-purchase information, reduce return processing cost through automation, and recover more revenue through AI-driven exchange recommendations.

Intelligence

Aravian Pulse: Commerce Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of every commerce touchpoint with real-time friction detection, revenue-quantified alerts, and monthly leadership reports. Know about the problem before the customer contacts you about it.

Aravian Pulse for Commerce

The first alert about your checkout problem should come from a dashboard, not a complaint.

Aravian Pulse connects to your Shopify, Salesforce, Klaviyo, and Adyen data and monitors every step of the commerce journey in real time. When checkout conversion drops, when payment errors spike, when return acknowledgement times increase, when WISMO contacts rise above baseline , Pulse tells you immediately, with the revenue impact quantified and a recommended action ready.
