We are seeking an experienced developer or small team to **design, develop, and deploy a new e-commerce website** that fully integrates with an **AI-powered chatbot system**.

1. A **customer service assistant** for answering product and restoration industry questions. 2. A **direct order placement tool**, integrated into the new e-commerce site, mobile app, and SMS/texting.
The goal is to create a streamlined **digital ordering and support ecosystem** where contractors and restoration professionals can browse, place, and track orders with ease—whether from our website, a mobile app, or a simple text message.
