AI for retailers

AI employees for retailers — the workforce that rebuilt a national furniture retailer, now run for your stores.

Hire the role. We run the AI employee. A named person is accountable.

Online sales follow-up, dispatch, purchasing, drop-ship, local marketing — the departments of a retail chain, staffed by managed AI employees working inside your POS, ERP and inbox. We know it works because we ran it first: 375 agents across seven departments at Modani, and revenue grew 39% year over year with less than 40% of its former workforce.

Who it's for, how a role runs, what it costs — from our CEO. Also in Español, Français, Italiano, Português, עברית, Русский and 中文 at mesaya.com/explainer.

The roles hired first

AI employees, each working a real job end to end.

Every role is configured from agents already running in production — never a blank prompt. Each one gets its own service account, limited to the permissions you grant, and works inside the tools you already run.

How it works

Three weeks from a scoping call to an AI employee at work. Then the next role.

Week 1

Discover & scope

A discovery call on your business and its bottlenecks; one role picked for the trial; a scoping call on systems, rules and approvals. Our audit agent reads your email and systems so the history is understood in days, without meetings.

Week 2

Deploy & train

A graduated agent configured for the role, pre-trained with your manager on examples and edge cases. Service accounts, permissions and approval gates set in your own systems.

Week 3 · free

Shadow mode

The agent works; a human approves everything consequential. Every deliverable logged with its approval chain. Outcomes verified at the source.

Month 2+

Earned autonomy

Approvals recede as results prove out; exceptions and samples stay reviewed. Your account manager stays in the loop — and scopes the next role.

Multi-location, one workforce

Consistent across every store — and every system.

Built for chains

One roster, every location.

A retail chain runs the same department in every store with different people in each.

Each store's manager approves what matters for that store; the owner reads one digest
Agents work in your POS and ERP under their own service accounts
Peak seasons scale by adding units of work, not headcount

Modani's seven departments — online sales, dispatch, purchasing, drop-ship, ocean freight, design and marketing — run this way across 17 showrooms.

You stay in control

Trust is earned — then extended.

How control works
  1. 1

    Shadow · week 1 — it drafts, you send.

  2. 2

    Ask first — it proposes, you approve.

  3. 3

    Routine — standard cases handled, exceptions to you.

  4. 4

    Autopilot — it runs; you get the digest.

Pricing

From $400 a month per role — and you only pay for completed work.

Simple as payroll, and a credit is always $1. No licenses, no implementation fee, month to month. Your first week is free.

Your plan
From $400

per month, per role. Each role is priced by its deliverables, so the minimum scales with the role.

Your credits at work
$1 = 1 credit

Every task has a credit price — a lead answered: 2, an invoice chased: 2, a listing published: 6. Itemized on your log, reported as KPIs, reviewed by you.

Busy month?
Top up

Add credit batches when you need more done. You set a monthly cap; the bill never passes it.

In aggregate, a role lands at a fraction of what the same work costs in payroll. Rates shown are examples; your order sets yours, and outcome pricing is available where results are measurable — collections on dollars recovered, lead response on booked meetings. You see the exact price for your roles on the scoping call.

Proof

We ran it on our own company before offering it to yours.

Customer zero

Modani — 375 agents, seven departments

We founded Modani, a national furniture retailer, in 2007, sold it in 2018, and bought it back in 2024 to rebuild it on AI. Revenue is up 39% year over year with less than 40% of its former workforce. Every Mesaya role was graduated there first, on a live P&L.

Live clients

Clients in this industry are live with Mesaya

They run several roles each, inside their own systems, with a named account manager on the account. We don't publish client names by default — a live portal demo and references are available on request.

Questions we get

Before the scoping call.

Does it work with our POS and ERP?

Yes. Agents work inside Shopify, NetSuite, Odoo, QuickBooks and most retail systems through their own service accounts. If your system has an API or an inbox, an agent can work in it.

We have several stores — is that one deployment or ten?

One. The role is deployed once with per-store data, per-store approvals and per-store reporting. Adding a store is configuration, not a new project.

Who owns the customer conversation?

You do. The agent works in your channels under your brand, to scripts and rules you approve. A human takes over at the thresholds you set — a complaint, a refund above a limit, a VIP.

What about peak season?

Capacity is units of work, not people. The role handles the December volume at the same price per completed task, and your account manager adds units ahead of the peak.

What did Modani actually change?

Every department: leads answered in seconds, deliveries confirmed by SMS, purchasing and freight tracked without spreadsheets, marketing published daily. Revenue up 39% year over year with less than 40% of the former workforce. We walk you through the live portal on the scoping call.
