The landscape

Retail agents operate across ecommerce, stores, customer support, merchandising, inventory, loss prevention, and vendor management. A single workflow can touch customer data, payments, pricing, and physical operations.

Permissions must vary by store, region, brand, employee, customer, transaction value, and inventory location.

The stakes

Industry challenges

  1. 01One customer chat can touch orders, payments, pricing, and inventory — four kinds of risk in a single conversation.
  2. 02Limits need to vary by store, role, and dollar amount; an integration grants one setting for everyone.
  3. 03Refund and discount bots without ceilings turn the support queue into a margin leak.
  4. 04At thousands of transactions a day, a small policy gap repeats itself before lunch.
Capabilities

How Fabriq helps retailers

Scope agents to assigned stores, territories, customers, and product categories.The org structure becomes the access structure — a store’s agent works that store, a category manager’s agent works that category.
Set refund, credit, discount, and price-change thresholds.Money-touching actions carry ceilings; routine amounts flow and exceptions escalate to a person.
Restrict access to payment, loyalty, employee, and customer data.Each sensitive domain is its own scope, so a service workflow never doubles as access to payment or workforce data.
Require approval before supplier activation or high-value purchasing.New suppliers and large orders hold for a merchandiser or manager before money is committed.
Prevent customer-service agents from crossing customer accounts.Case-scoped access keeps every conversation inside the account it belongs to.
Preserve the complete history behind pricing, refund, and inventory actions.When margin or shrink questions surface, the full sequence behind each action is one query away.
In practice

Featured workflows

logged

Customer service

Service agents resolve issues within the customer’s own account, with refund ceilings enforced per policy.

approval: human approval

Returns

Return agents process within policy windows and thresholds, escalating exceptions to a supervisor.

Store operations

Store agents work their own location’s data — schedules, tasks, inventory — without cross-banner reach.

approval: human approval

Inventory rebalancing

Rebalancing agents read stock levels and propose transfers; commitments hold for a planner’s confirmation.

Merchandising

Merchandising agents draft price and assortment changes within category bounds, gated by threshold approvals.

logged

Employee assistance

Employee-facing assistants answer from each worker’s own records and published policy, nothing broader.

Core value

Faster service and leaner operations — with margin protected by ceilings on every refund, discount, and purchase order.
