Every factory deserves a team that can go global

You can do it yourself, but for a factory the hard part of building a brand isn't production. It's selling: what to sell, who to sell it to, how people find you, and how inquiries turn into orders. The AI Business Partner takes all of that on, so you can focus on the product.

Running retail or cross-border e-commerce yourself usually means hiring operations, design, advertising and customer service staff, then paying platform commissions, ad spend, shipping and after-sales costs, which eat most of the margin. Pick the wrong category and you are left holding real inventory. Our approach:

• Research before you invest: start with one product in one market and use real data on demand, competitors, price bands and customer groups. You read the report, then decide whether to go ahead.
• A team of AI agents plus expert advisers: market intelligence, brand and content creation, marketing and lead generation, personalized recommendations, e-commerce operations, and sales and supply-chain ERP are shared among six AI agents, with people checking the work at key points.
• Aligned incentives: we earn from the extra orders we help you win, not from selling software or headcount.

You get a complete playbook for your website, customer acquisition, order handling and regular reviews, without first spending money on a team to experiment.

No. The share applies only to new orders won through the partnership. We take nothing from your existing business.

Before we start, we lock your last 12 months of order volume, average order value, order sources and existing customer list into a baseline that both sides sign off and that cannot be changed. Business within that baseline stays entirely yours; only new orders from new channels (a new website, online B2B inquiries, new retail channels and so on) count toward the share.

• The share rate and how it is calculated are agreed for each project.
• For wholesale orders below retail price, the share rate is reduced in proportion to the margin, so wholesale never leaves you worse off.
• Before any real investment, we produce a market research report for you to review. If the data says the market isn't worth entering, you don't have to start.

It is agreed for each project: either a share of results or a fixed service fee. We recommend sharing results.

Every engagement starts with one product in one market. With a share of results, we only earn when you actually sell more, so the risk is shared and we have every reason to keep improving your website, content and ads instead of handing over and walking away. The details are set out in the contract.

SEO and GEO are included in the engagement; ad spend is paid by the company, while manufacturing ERP and physical store integration are charged separately. If you only need one piece, such as SEO and GEO brand growth on its own or a custom ERP, it can be billed as a standalone service.

That direction ends there, and you have saved an investment you shouldn't have made. The company knowledge and research results already compiled belong to you, and you can start again with a different product or market.

Yes. The owner only makes decisions at a few key points; the AI agents and the WarpDriven team handle the day-to-day work. What the factory needs to do:

• Provide product information (specifications, prices, photos, minimum order quantities, lead times) and confirm company facts and the baseline figures.
• Allow us to use endorsements that can be made public (awards, certifications, client work you are able to mention).
• Review the market research report, the website plan and regular business reports, and set the direction.
• Produce and ship orders on time, and tell us about capacity changes so we never take orders you can't fulfill.

If your company has experts in marketing, design or production, they can guide the agents directly and the system will learn faster.

Yes. The engagement proceeds in phases with a review at the end of each one, and content usage rights, website access, data export and handover are all written into the contract.

Nothing stops. The new and old sites run side by side during a transition period, and we switch over only once the new site is working properly.

1. The new site goes live first on a temporary address (for example new.yourdomain.com or a test address). You have only one main domain, so the new site runs on the temporary address while your current site, payments and ordering carry on as normal.
2. We fine-tune the new site together until you are happy with it: products, prices, payment, delivery, ordering and email notifications are all tested from start to finish.
3. Then we point your main domain to the new site. The old site isn't deleted; it simply stops using the domain and can be taken offline once everything checks out. If you want to keep it, it can stay on a subdomain (for example old.yourdomain.com) for reference.

We also take care of details that are easy to miss when switching:

• 301 redirects from every old page address to its new one, so search results and customers' bookmarks keep working and your existing search rankings are protected as far as possible.
• Company email is unaffected: email runs on separate domain records that stay as they are, so changing the website won't interrupt your inbox.
• Your own payment account stays: payments are set up in your company's name, and the new site connects to the same account, so money reaches you the same way.
• Order and customer data migration: products, customers and order history from the old site are imported as needed, so returning customers can carry on.

All of your product information is kept. The biggest difference isn't the look, it's the data: the new site connects ERP, B2B quoting, CRM, customer service and delivery, turning every visitor's needs into data you can use to improve your products and your business.

The site will be redesigned, but looking good is only the starting point. The website is the storefront; the data behind it is what counts. An ordinary website is an online business card. The new site is a customer acquisition and operations system connected to your factory.

For business customers (B2B)

• Online inquiries and B2B quotes: distributors, retailers, hospitality businesses and corporate buyers can submit purchase requests on the site and get a quote generated by the system.
• Every lead captured in CRM: who visited, what they asked and how much they need are all recorded, and we follow up by email to turn inquiries into orders.
• Customer service on your phone: website inquiries can be answered directly from a mobile phone, so no order slips through.

For retail customers (B2C)

• Online ordering and payment.
• Shipping and delivery integration: shipping is calculated in real time from the customer's address at checkout (courier or local delivery) and paid with the order.
• Orders printed straight at the factory: pick lists and packing slips print automatically as orders come in, so goods are packed and ready when the courier arrives. You can also connect in-store point of sale (POS), so online and offline share one set of orders and stock.

Integrated on demand, so you only get what you use. You choose which of these features to connect. Many are built on mature modules that come with Odoo (such as POS checkout, order printing and product reviews), and integration modules already built for other clients can be reused, so you go live faster and at lower cost.

The part you don't see, and the most valuable

• Connected to your ERP system: website orders, inventory, purchasing and production share one set of data, with no manual re-entry.
• Personalized recommendations for every visitor: each visitor sees suggestions based on what they have browsed and bought, lifting conversion and order value.
• Visitor behavior analytics: see what people browse and search for, and where they give up. This feeds sales and inventory forecasting and stock planning, and guides your marketing message, SEO topics and which audiences your video ads should reach (see data-driven product selection, pricing and small-batch testing).
• Product reviews: collect genuine buyer reviews to improve products and show new visitors your reputation.

Working back from website data to product improvements

The website never shows core details such as recipes, materials or production processes, but those can later be kept in the ERP. By combining visitor behavior and reviews with the process data in the ERP, you can work out how a product should change: adjusting materials or proportions, changing sizes or styles, or switching pack sizes. That used to depend on the factory's most experienced hands reading the numbers. Now AI can draft an improvement report first, and the owner reads it and decides whether to make the change. This comes in a later phase, once website and ERP data have built up.

For consumer goods factories (food, apparel, homewares, personal care and more), the most fundamental advantage is keeping up with what customers want: understanding the market and understanding the customer. Everything about the new site is designed to keep capturing customer demand and keep improving products. That is what sets it apart from an ordinary website.

Our marketing agent works continuously on SEO, GEO, video and social media, bringing traffic to your website and growing your brand's visibility as far as your budget allows.

• SEO (search engine optimization): regular industry blog posts and feature articles, so customers find you when they search Google for terms like "custom workwear", "solid wood furniture wholesale" or "sugar-free snack supplier".
• GEO (generative engine optimization): getting AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to mention and cite your website when they answer "can you recommend a…" questions. AI answers tend to cite sites with clear, well-structured content and credible endorsements, and that takes dedicated work (see SEO and GEO brand growth).
• Short video and social media: product videos, how things are made and customers using them, bringing attention back to your website.
• Advertising: using visitor behavior data from your website to reach the people most likely to buy, instead of casting a wide net.

Credible endorsements matter. We need your permission to use information that can be made public, such as awards, industry certifications, major client and supply relationships you can mention, media coverage and genuine customer reviews. Many factory websites lack exactly this: they look much like everyone else's, and customers can't tell who is more professional. Search engines and AI assistants decide who to recommend by the same logic.

Our goal is that when customers have a need, your brand is the first one they think of. When they need to restock, choose a reliable supplier or buy a gift, they think of you, the way many people think of Zara first when they shop for clothes.

SEO gets your website ranked higher in search results. GEO (generative engine optimization) gets AI assistants to mention and cite your brand when they answer questions.

More and more customers no longer scroll through ten search results. They ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, or read Google's AI Overview: "Which supplier in Sydney can make custom gifts for a corporate event?" "Where can I get a small batch of custom workwear made?" "Which solid wood furniture brands are eco-friendly?" AI gives only a handful of answers. Whether you appear among them depends on whether your website answers the questions customers actually ask, whether it is clearly structured, and whether it has endorsements a third party can verify. Every month we sample AI answers to check whether you are mentioned, and adjust the content accordingly.

The market research report takes about 2–4 weeks. Once the new website, B2B inquiries and retail ordering go live, you can start taking orders. Organic traffic from SEO and GEO builds month by month, so the sooner the content starts, the better.

Getting indexed and ranked by search engines, and getting cited by AI assistants, takes time to build up content and trust; it won't happen overnight. Ads and social media can bring the first visitors sooner. How quickly the brand, website and channels pay off varies by product and market. We do not promise fixed rankings, inquiries or sales. The tactical plan sets out the success metrics for each stage, and we regularly show you the real numbers: website visits, inquiries, orders and customers by channel.

You own all of it. Accounts are opened in your name, the data is yours, and trademarks are registered with you as the applicant.

• Your domain, company email, cloud servers, ad accounts, payment accounts, social media and marketplace accounts are all opened in your company's name and paid for by you; we only operate them with your authorization.
• On every system you keep a top-level (owner or super admin) account, so you can see everything and withdraw our access at any time.
• Your business and customer data are used only to serve you, kept separate for each company on the platform, and never mixed with other clients' data.
• Within 30 days of the engagement ending, we hand back full control, remove our own access, and export your product, order, customer and website content data in common formats such as CSV or Excel.

No. Your business and customer data are used only to serve you, kept separate for each company on the platform, and never mixed with other clients' data. Without an assigned account and permissions, no one, including WarpDriven employees, can view or manage it. When the engagement ends, your data is exported and handed back to you, and non-essential data on the platform is deleted (except accounting and tax records that must be kept by law).

We collect only the anonymous behavior data the business needs and handle it under local privacy law, and visitors can choose whether to consent.

For example, we follow the Privacy Act in Australia and the GDPR in the EU. The website comes with a built-in cookie consent notice and a privacy policy explaining what is collected and why, and personal contact details are used only to follow up that customer's own inquiries and orders. All data belongs to you, is stored separately for each company and is never used for other clients.

Quite a lot. Once the sales side is connected, the same data can extend into the factory: custom sales and production ERP, quality inspection on the production line, equipment monitoring and warehousing.

• Forge custom sales and production ERP: customers, orders, inventory, purchasing and finance through to production scheduling, work orders and outsourcing, all in one set of data.
• Factory AI: AI visual quality inspection, equipment health monitoring and RFID warehousing, running locally on the production line so your data never leaves the factory.
• Omnichannel distribution system and e-commerce operations: beyond your website, Shopify, Amazon and other channels are connected into one network.

Demand you see online flows all the way through to production scheduling and stock planning. That is the extra value a factory gets from an AI Business Partner compared with simply opening an online store.
