Product
Problem
Small retail businesses need operational support but face prohibitive economics when hiring human assistants or engaging traditional automation agencies. Agencies structure work as separate discovery, build, and maintenance phases that carry enterprise-level margins, while internal IT staff lack the specialization to build durable automations for the messy, exception-heavy processes typical of retail operations.
Solution
Ahti provides an AI-powered assistant service for small retailers, automating internal workflows such as product data gathering, sales order entry, and payment reconciliation. Instead of a one-time project, Ahti operates as one continuous service: it learns the business, builds the automations, and maintains them over time without re-scoping or change-request fees. The service is priced at roughly the cost of half a human hire, making it an economic alternative to both staffing and agency contracts. Improvements discovered across the client base are rolled out automatically rather than sold as upgrades.
Target Audience
Primary customers are retail companies with 10-100 employees, including e-commerce brands and omnichannel retailers, that need durable operational automation without enterprise agency costs.
