From Operational Chaos to Autonomous Commerce: The Dawn of the iCommerce Engine

Every business operates on two core principles: driving growth and managing costs. Strategic costs fuel your top line—product innovation, marketing, and customer acquisition. But what about the non-strategic costs? The operational drag of disconnected apps, the wasted spend on unused licenses, the manual effort spent stitching together systems that were never designed to speak the same language. This is the tax every online business pays.

The current model for direct-to-consumer (D2C) commerce is fundamentally broken. You’re forced to assemble a fragile patchwork of systems—Shopify for orders, NetSuite for finance, a 3PL for fulfillment, a helpdesk for support—and then hire teams of people just to act as the human glue between them. You’re so busy managing the chaos of operations that you have less time to focus on what truly matters: building great products and creating amazing customer experiences.

What if your business could just… run itself? What if you could replace the sprawl, the waste, and the manual toil with a single, intelligent system that not only saves you money but actively makes you money?

This is the future we are building at StateSet. We call it iCommerce: Intelligent Commerce.

iCommerce is not another app to add to your stack. It is a new category of technology—an agentic operating system for your entire business. Powered by a unified network of AI Agents, the iCommerce Engine automates and orchestrates the mission-critical workflows across your company: sales, customer support, fulfillment, finance, and more.

Our model is fundamentally different. We’re not selling SaaS seats or licenses. We deliver outcomes. The iCommerce Engine is designed to achieve measurable business results on your behalf. You pay when our AI Agents successfully perform those outcomes. If they don’t deliver, you don’t pay. This creates perfect alignment between our technology and your success, transforming the ROI equation.

Our vision is a world where businesses are no longer constrained by static software and manual processes. They will be autonomous, intelligent, and infinitely scalable. Millions of AI Agents will work in unison, powering the world’s fastest-growing brands.

My name is Dom Steil, Founder and CEO of StateSet. Raised in the heart of Silicon Valley, I’ve dedicated my career to making transformative technologies tangible. After witnessing countless businesses struggle with the same operational friction, I knew there had to be a better way. The iCommerce Engine is that way.

We invite you to move from manual chaos to autonomous impact. Join us on the journey to create the future of commerce.
