Pilotcrate — a fleet of AI agents for D2C ops
Pilot intake · 5 slots

Now accepting 5 pilot brands.

Solo founders running a real D2C brand — real orders, real margin pressure. We pick the first five operators, wire their fleet against their store, and run the first thirty days side by side. Operator leverage, not another dashboard.

The fleet · what each agent does

One operator, six coordinated agents — each owns one slice of the brand.

Each agent is specialised; the orchestration layer makes the whole thing behave like a single team with a north star. Here is what they do, and what you keep deciding.

  • Sourcing & pricing
    Suppliers, POs, and SKU prices stay in sync.

    Agents find suppliers, place purchase orders, and keep SKU prices in sync across Shopify, eBay, and Amazon. The owner keeps the call on who counts as a supplier and the unit margin floor.

  • Merchandising & support
    Listings adapt and tickets clear — 24/7.

    Listings, copy, and creative get rewritten as merchandising signals shift; a 24/7 ticket agent handles returns, shipping, and order questions. The owner keeps brand-voice rules and the escalation path.

  • Finance & guardrails
    A daily P&L and the rules that keep it safe.

    The finance agent closes a daily P&L and updates cash on hand every hour; the orchestration layer enforces the margin floor, brand voice, supplier whitelist, and daily spend caps you signed. The owner keeps the cap values, the whitelist, and anything over the cap.

Re: missing item in order #4421

Customer

Hi — only 2 of the 3 items from order #4421 arrived. Can you check the packing slip?

Apologies — I see the third item was backordered. I'm shipping it today with expedited delivery and crediting $12. Tracking will land in your inbox within an hour.

How it works

One loop. Six agents. Guardrails at every step.

A single workflow runs every day — from spotting a trend to closing the books. The orchestration layer sits underneath every hop so the founder keeps the call on the rules, and the agents keep the call on execution.

  1. 1
    Trend scout
    Finds the next product.

    Watches social, search, and marketplace signals, then surfaces one candidate worth testing against your guardrails.

  2. 2
    Sourcing
    Evaluates suppliers.

    Pulls vetted manufacturers from your whitelist, asks for quotes, and ranks them on lead time and unit landed cost.

  3. 3
    Pricing
    Sets the price.

    Rebids against competitor moves hourly, never dips below your margin floor, never breaches the daily spend cap.

  4. 4
    Merchandising
    Manages the listing.

    Rewrites titles, copy, and creative as merchandising signals shift — bounded by your brand-voice rules and imagery policy.

  5. 5
    Support
    Handles tickets.

    Clears returns, shipping, and order questions 24/7 with brand-voice rules and an explicit escalation path for edge cases.

  6. 6
    Finance
    Closes the books.

    Posts every order, reconciles payouts, refreshes cash on hand hourly, and flags anything that breaks the margin or cap guardrails.

What founders say

Illustrative founder reactions during soft launch.

The Pilotcrate fleet is still in early access and we are onboarding our first cohort, so the quotes below are illustrative — representative of the operator-leverage shape we are building toward — and will be swapped for real cohort voices once onboarding lands. Each card carries a placeholder marker so nothing reads as a real endorsement.

  • Placeholder quote

    “I deleted four dashboards and a Slack channel the week Pilotcrate went live. Margin is up, my evenings are back, and the agents stop on a dime when I tell them to.”

    Alex KimFounderNorth Bench Goods
  • Placeholder quote

    “The morning read is the only ops email I actually read. Five minutes, then I am making decisions — not chasing status across six tools.”

    Priya ShahSolo founderLoomcrest
  • Placeholder quote

    “Pricing rebids hourly and never breaks my margin floor. That alone paid for the year — and the support agent closes tickets faster than my last hire did.”

The closed loop

Trend, source, price, sell, support — and back around.

One continuous workflow the fleet runs every day. Every step feeds the next one, and support signals close the loop back into trend scouting.

  1. 1
    Trend
    Spot the next product.

    Trend scout watches social, search, and marketplace signals for what to test next.

  2. 2
    Source
    Pick a supplier.

    Sourcing asks your whitelisted manufacturers for quotes and ranks them on landed cost.

  3. 3
    Price
    Set the price.

    Pricing rebids hourly against competitors, never below your margin floor.

  4. 4
    Sell
    List the SKU.

    Merchandising rewrites titles, copy, and creative as signals shift, inside brand-voice rules.

  5. 5
    Support
    Clear the inbox.

    Support answers returns, shipping, and order tickets 24/7; edge cases escalate to you.

How it works

Connect, propose, approve, execute — the operator-leverage loop.

A four-step loop the founder runs on repeat every day. Storefront in, actions drafted, guardrails checked, work shipped overnight.

  1. 1
    Connect your storefront

    Link Shopify, eBay, and Amazon in a few clicks. Pilotcrate reads your live SKUs and order signal on day one.

  2. 2
    Agents propose actions

    Trend scout, sourcing, pricing, and merchandising each draft the next move — and the orchestration layer checks it against your guardrails before you see it.

  3. 3
    One-tap approve via guardrails

    Anything above your cap, below your margin floor, or outside your supplier whitelist waits on you. Everything inside the rules already shipped.

  4. 4
    Agents execute overnight

    Approved moves go out while you sleep — listings, POs, price changes, and ticket replies. You wake up to a diff, not a backlog.
