About Earthy Origins

Earthy Origins is a fast-growing direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand redefining the organic food category in India. Born from a commitment to ethical farming and quality-first produce, Earthy Origins operates India's first certified humane poultry farm and offers a wide range of products—from organic chicken and cold-pressed oils to energy bars and freshly harvested produce. With a 100-acre certified organic farm, complete control over its supply chain, and cutting-edge agricultural technology, Earthy Origins combines nature and innovation to provide premium farm-to-table experiences.

They serve customers across India with a focus on clean, sustainable food. Earthy Origins offers free-range chicken and eggs in Chennai and Bangalore, while delivering a wide range of farm-value products such as flours, cold-pressed oils, jamun-based items, ready-to-cook gravies, broths, and energy bars across India. Their customer-first approach has led to a high repeat purchase rate, reflecting the strong loyalty built around their quality-first philosophy in a niche market.

The Challenge

Supply chain management minus the middlemen

As a D2C brand, Earthy Origins doesn't rely on a chain of distributors. This means that every customer interaction matters, right from discovery to delivery and reordering. While the product quality was driving high repeat rates, they needed a smarter way to engage customers at every stage of the lifecycle: acquisition, engagement, and loyalty.

Marketing at scale with operational nuance

With growing volume and an expanding product catalog, personalized marketing became harder to scale. Earthy Origins wanted to run targeted campaigns based on territory, delivery timelines, and product preferences. For example, cutoff times for same-day delivery vary by city. Messaging needed to reflect that operational nuance, but existing tools weren't flexible enough to accommodate those workflows.

Last-mile delivery complexities

Managing the gap between customer expectations and actual delivery experiences was one of Earthy Origins' most significant operational challenges, when it came to last-mile delivery. With temperature-sensitive products like meat requiring special handling, delivery timing became crucial. They needed to accurately communicate different delivery timeframes based on when orders were placed (before or after specific cutoff times).

Siloed insights across the stack

The team was using multiple tools—Shopify, Freshworks, and more—but didn't have a consolidated view of the customer. This made it hard to optimize marketing or understand what truly influenced purchase behavior. Their previous setup lacked visibility into engagement and conversion trends across products.

Before ZEPIC, we were using different tools to engage with our customers, send timely order updates, and promotional messages. Not only has ZEPIC saved us money that we were spending on multiple tools, but having everything in one platform has made life so much easier for our team.

Feature Deep Dive

1. Shopify Integration & Order Management

Unifying your Shopify ecosystem for powerful personalization

ZEPIC's one-click Shopify integration gave Earthy Origins instant access to their complete store data without complex setup or technical hurdles. Within minutes, their entire digital ecosystem—from product inventory and order history to customer profiles, flowed into ZEPIC's platform.
With all Shopify data centralized in ZEPIC, the team can now:

  • Build targeted customer groups based on what people buy, how often they order, and which products they prefer

  • Send perfectly timed WhatsApp updates about deliveries based on different cutoff times in each city

  • Create special messaging for different product categories (their premium organic chicken deserves a different tone than their grab-and-go snacks!)

  • Keep customers in the loop with real-time order confirmations and status updates

This gives Earthy Origins a unified foundation for all customer interactions without requiring technical expertise or multiple system logins.

2. WhatsApp Campaigns & Flows

Engaging customers where they are most active

WhatsApp is Earthy Origins' go-to channel for customer communication.
With ZEPIC, they now:

  • Send personalized campaigns for product launches, seasonal promotions, and delivery updates

  • Automate flows based on customer behavior, such as adding to cart or showing interest in a particular items

This ensures that every message feels timely and relevant without overwhelming the team.

3. Team Inbox for Smarter Conversations

Managing customer support and campaigns in one place

With ZEPIC's Team Inbox, Earthy Origins can now:

  • Manage WhatsApp campaign responses and support queries from a single dashboard

  • Organize chats with open/closed statuses, add tags and stay on top of all customer conversations

  • Reduce conversation drop-offs with timely reminder flows that re-engage customers before WhatsApp conversation windows expire, preventing missed queries and ensuring smoother support handovers

4. Customer Lifecycle Intelligence

From first order to loyal repeat buyer

ZEPIC helps Earthy Origins understand the entire customer journey—from product discovery to reordering. With data unified across their stack, the team can now:

  • Track customer behavior via ZEPIC's Web SDK, capturing key activity across their website

  • Plan lifecycle campaigns for key milestones: first order, third repeat, product restocks, and more within the same platform

With these insights, Earthy Origins has moved beyond generic marketing to create moments that truly matter to their customers.

5. Product-specific Campaigns

Launching new SKUs

When you're introducing something new, targeting matters. ZEPIC's custom event tracking lets Earthy Origins create messages that perfectly match customer interests:

  • With the launch of India's first Build-Your-Own-Protein-Bar (BYOB), Earthy Origins used ZEPIC to segment customers and send personalized templates, promoting the new offering effectively.

These product-led flows ensure the right message reaches the right audience at the right time.
