AI customer support, deployed

Your support inbox is leaking money. We find it, then close it.

We audit your support inbox, then deploy AI inside the helpdesk you already use. 50-70% ticket deflection. Real DPA.

Audit credit rolls into Tier 1 setup if you proceed within 30 days. No surprises, no contracts you cannot exit on 30 days notice.

Deployed inside the helpdesk you already use

  • Zendesk Zendesk
  • Freshworks Freshdesk
  • Gorgias
  • Help Scout
  • Shopify Shopify
What we do

Three flows. Most brands deflect 50 to 70 percent of them on day fourteen.

The deflectable surface area of an ecommerce support inbox is not infinite. It is three to five repeating shapes. We find yours, write the responses, configure the routing, and run it.

01

Where is my order

Order status, shipping delays, tracking number lookups, address changes. Repetitive, factual, AI-shaped. Done well, you give the customer a faster answer than any human queue could.

Typical volume share
28 to 42%
Day-14 deflection target
75%+
02

Returns and refunds

Return-window questions, refund timing, exchange offers. This is where the revenue lives. A refund-to-exchange swap, offered at the right moment, recovers cash a chargeback never sees.

Typical volume share
18 to 28%
Avg. recoverable
€8 to €12k / month
03

Subscription and billing

Pause, swap product, change cadence, update card. Subscription-save flows handle the routine cases before they reach a human agent and before they become churn.

Typical volume share
10 to 22%
Save rate uplift
+15 to 30%

Numbers are observed ranges across recent audits. Your numbers depend on your inbox. The audit produces real numbers for your shop, not a brochure estimate.

How an engagement runs

Audit, deploy, operate.

Three discrete phases. You can stop after any of them. No multi-year contract, no platform you have to keep paying for.

  1. 01

    Audit, ten business days

    €2,500

    We sample 200 to 500 of your recent tickets, categorise them, and quantify the deflectable surface area and the refund leakage. You get a twelve-page report plus a walkthrough call. If you do not proceed, the audit is the only thing you ever paid us.

    • Pseudonymised ticket sample under a real DPA
    • Deflection rate per flow, with confidence bands
    • Refund-leakage model in euro, not in vibes
    • Five-flow implementation priority order
  2. 02

    Deploy, fourteen business days

    €7,500 setup

    We author the knowledge base articles for your top five flows, configure the AI macros and routing inside your existing helpdesk, define the escalation policy, and run the first week of live operation with daily monitoring.

    • 30 to 40 KB articles authored in your voice
    • Confidence-based escalation rules, not all-or-nothing
    • Baseline KPI measurement on the prior 30 days
    • Day-14 setup-complete handoff document
  3. 03

    Operate, ongoing

    €2,500 / month

    Weekly tuning, KB maintenance, a weekly KPI report every Monday, and a monthly review call. Three-month rolling term. Thirty days notice to exit, no kill fees once the initial term ends.

    • Weekly report: deflection %, response time, € recovered, hours saved
    • Tuning on the AI handling of every escalated ticket
    • Slack channel with one-business-day response
    • Owned KB and macros, exportable at any time
Why us

Not a platform. Not a chatbot vendor. Not a body shop.

Versus Intercom Fin or Zendesk AI

Those are tools. Tools need an operator. We are the operator. You keep your helpdesk; we deploy the AI inside it and run the tuning. No second platform to migrate to. If you cancel us, you keep every KB article and every macro we authored.

Versus Sierra or Decagon

Their floor ACV is €60,000 with a six-to-nine-month enterprise cycle. Our entry point is a €2,500 audit you can buy this week. We are sized for €5M to €40M GMV brands, not for the Fortune 500.

Versus an offshore BPO

BPOs throw headcount at the inbox. We remove the deflectable volume first and then escalate the remaining 30 to 50 percent to whoever you choose: your in-house team, a BPO, or both. The work stack is yours.


Five things we always do

  • Audit first. No deployment without a real diagnostic. If the inbox is not deflectable enough to be worth it, we say so and refund the difference.
  • Fixed retainer, outcome reported. Flat monthly fee. You always know what it costs. Weekly KPI report makes you always know what you got.
  • Real DPA. GDPR Article 28 contract, sub-processor list, scoped access checklist, 48-hour breach notification. We do not handle your customer payment data, ever.
  • Read-only first. We start with read-only access to your helpdesk. Write access is granted only after baseline measurement and only with your approval.
  • You own the work. KB articles, macros, prompt content. All client property. Exportable at any time. We do not lock you into us.
Pricing

Three tiers. Real numbers, no quote roulette.

The audit is the entry point for every tier. The audit fee credits against Tier 1 or Tier 2 setup if you proceed within 30 days.

Trust signals

What a serious buyer asks on day one.

Real DPA

GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement bundled with every engagement that touches customer data. Sub-processor list, scoped access checklist, PII redaction policy. Not a one-pager.

Insurance

Tech Errors & Omissions and Cyber Liability cover. Certificate available on request before signature.

Read-only first

Stage 1 access to your helpdesk is read-only. Write access requires baseline measurement to be complete and your written approval.

No customer payment data

We never touch your customer payment instruments. Your Stripe stays your Stripe. Our scope is the support inbox.

Exportable on day one

KB articles and macros are exported to markdown on request, with no fee, at any time. There is no Eltrus platform to migrate off.

Founder accountable

Every engagement runs through Eoghan. The retainer is not an account manager; it is the founder, with a contractor pool for execution.

Eoghan Collins, founder of Eltrus
Who runs this

Eoghan Collins. Eltrus is mine.

Eltrus is a real Irish company. First product was a custom CRM for a Dublin surgical practice, built solo and live in production today. Now Eltrus is expanding to AI customer ops for Shopify and SMB brands as its main play.

Daily power user of Claude Code and Cursor. Built and shipped a full SaaS solo before this. The work is hands-on. You will be talking to the person who wrote your KB articles, not an account manager between you and the team.
