The Business Problem
The transition from an internal tool to a scalable agency solution presented several technical and operational hurdles.
DNC compliance fears, unreliable webhooks, robotic AI voices, and operational friction blocked scaling from a single-tenant tool to a multi-tenant agency.
01.
DNC (Do Not Call) fear prevented reactivating high-revenue automation flows like Abandoned Checkout
02.
Unreliable webhooks led to missing call logs and inaccurate CRM attribution
03.
Early AI iterations sounded robotic and lacked deep customer context
04.
Launching new inventory campaigns took days of manual intervention instead of minutes
Our Approach
We implemented an infrastructure overhaul focused on compliance, intelligence, and multi-tenant scalability.
The goal was to transform a single-tenant Voice AI CRM into an agency-ready platform with DNC Gatekeeper, smart context injection, and real-time sales execution.

The Solution: The Meatery Platform
DNC Gatekeeper Architecture: Centralized PostgreSQL exclusion list checks every phone number against Global and Client-Specific DNC tables before any call, enabling confident automation.
Smart Agent Context & Shopify Integration: AI receives Shopify data (Order Count, LTV, Subscription Status) for personalized discounts and add-ons during calls.
Prompt Ops Feedback Loop: n8n-based AI Judge ingests call recordings, grades conversations on rebuttal handling and tone, and aggregates data for rapid prompt iteration.
Campaign Injection System: CSV upload tool maps customer lists to specific agents and scripts—reducing campaign launch time from days to minutes.
Real-Time Draft Orders: Agents create discounted Draft Orders in Shopify and text checkout links to customers during the call for instant conversion.
Technical Architecture
Voice AI: Retell AI (LLM + Voice). Backend: Node.js (Express) with Shopify API. Automation: n8n for orchestration. Database: PostgreSQL (Railway) refactored for multi-tenancy. Frontend: React Admin Dashboard for call logs and sentiment analysis.
