Project Overview
E-commerce businesses rely on outbound calls for order confirmation, delivery coordination, cart abandonment recovery, and promotional campaigns. As order volumes grow, manual calling operations become inefficient and difficult to scale.
We developed an AI Cold Calling Automation System using workflow automation to orchestrate outbound calling workflows triggered by order events, customer actions, and campaign rules ensuring timely and consistent customer communication.

The e-commerce client faced multiple challenges:
- High volume of outbound calls during sales and promotions
- Manual order confirmation and follow-up processes
- Delayed customer communication affecting experience
- Limited visibility into call outcomes
- Difficulty scaling operations during peak traffic
- High operational cost for manual calling teams
What We Delivered
We delivered an automated outbound calling workflow solution for e-commerce operations:
- Order-triggered calling workflows
- Automated call retries and follow-ups
- Customer tagging based on call outcomes
- CRM and order management system integration
