RAG & Knowledge Retrieval for E-commerce
RAG & Knowledge Retrieval for e-commerce, built around the constraint that defines the sector: every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue.

What changes when it is e-commerce
Your documents do not arrive as clean markdown. They are scanned PDFs, merged cells, ten-year-old templates. The ingestion pipeline is most of the work, and we build it for the corpus you actually have.
In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against OMS. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around

- Systems of record
- Shopify, Magento or custom storefronts · OMS · payment gateways · logistics aggregators · CRM
- Where we usually start
- catalogue enrichment and attribute extraction

Questions from this sector
How quickly can we see conversion impact?
Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.
Can you fix our catalogue data?
Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.
RAG or fine-tuning?
RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.
How accurate will it be?
We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.
Can it respect our existing permissions?
Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.
