Retail and e-commerce

In short

Online shops, shops with a point of sale, florists, pastry shops and distributors get an assistant that answers questions about orders, stock and returns on WhatsApp, email, Instagram and the phone. It works with the shop and management systems they already use.

Updated on

Who it is for

Online shops, physical shops with a point-of-sale system, florists, pastry and gift shops, and distributors that supply bars and shops.

What gets in the way today

  • “Where is my order?” all day long

    Order-status questions fill the inbox and the chat, and each one means looking up the order and its tracking by hand.

  • Returns handled in email threads

    Online buyers can return what they bought within the legal withdrawal period, and each return turns into a thread of emails with photos, deadlines and labels.

  • Trade orders typed in twice

    Trade customers send orders as WhatsApp voice messages late at night or by email, and someone types everything into the management system the next morning.

“Is it in store?”: product reservation and pickup

Checks each shop's stock through your point-of-sale system, holds the product until a deadline and can take a deposit.

With your point-of-sale system connected, the assistant checks the stock of each shop, holds the product until a deadline you set and can take a deposit by link. Without a connected system, it records the reservation request in your calendar and your team confirms it. Customers ask by phone, WhatsApp, website chat or SMS, even when the counter is full.

Dated orders with prepayment

Takes orders for a date with product, address and card message, charges the total or a deposit and respects your delivery limit per time slot.

The assistant takes each order with the product, delivery date, address and card message, charges the total or a deposit by link and writes everything to Google Calendar. It respects the number of deliveries you can make in each time slot, which matters most on peak days. It suits florists, pastry and gift shops, and can also read the products of your online shop.

Trade orders by WhatsApp, voice message and email

Transcribes voice messages or reads emails, PDFs and photos of orders, matches each line with your products and prices and creates the order.

The assistant transcribes voice messages or reads the email, PDF or photo of an order and matches each line with your product list and that customer's prices. It confirms the order with the customer, creates it in your system and, at the cut-off time, sends the warehouse the consolidated list. A management system that runs on your own server connects through a local agent installed on site, set up with our team rather than through self sign-up.
