Retail

An AI workforce for shops and counters

When somebody is at the counter, the phone loses. It should not have to — and the caller should not have to lose either.

Today

What this costs you now

  • The phone ringing out while staff are serving people who are physically present
  • The same four questions — hours, stock, location, price — all day long
  • Reservations and holds agreed verbally and then forgotten
  • No idea how many calls were missed, or what they were about

What the AI takes on

The jobs a retail actually hands over

  • Answer the calls nobody can reach

    Only when the line is busy, only outside hours, or every call. The person at the counter is never interrupted.

  • Answer stock, hours and price questions

    From what you have approved, with an honest "let me check" for anything else.

  • Take a hold or a reservation properly

    Written down against the customer, with a reminder before it lapses.

  • Call people back

    The call-backs that pile up in a busy afternoon get made, without anybody staying late.

What changes

What you get out of it

  • The phone stops being a choice between two customers
  • A record of what every caller wanted, for the first time
  • Holds and reservations that survive the end of the conversation
  • Evening and weekend calls answered without paying somebody to sit there

Questions

Retail, specifically

Can it answer only when we are too busy to pick up?

Yes. AutoCallDesk can be set to answer only calls nobody picks up, only calls arriving when the line is busy, only calls outside your opening hours, or all of them. You change this whenever you like.

Does it know what we have in stock?

It answers from the Company knowledge you maintain, so it is accurate for anything you keep current there. For live stock levels it will take the customer’s details and get a person rather than guess.
