Never miss a customer call again. Our AI receptionist answers instantly, handles order inquiries, processes returns, and answers product questions 24/7—scaling effortlessly during peak sales events.
Industry research shows why every customer call matters
Customer expectations are higher than ever—but support doesn't scale
Black Friday, flash sales, and viral moments flood your phones. Customers wait on hold, abandon carts, and post negative reviews. Hiring temporary agents means poor training and inconsistent quality.
Human agents cost $15-25 per call when you factor in training, turnover, and overhead. Simple "where is my order?" calls eat into margins on every transaction.
You sell globally, but your support team works local hours. International customers calling at 3 AM get voicemail—and shop elsewhere next time.
From customer call to issue resolved in minutes
A customer in Tokyo calls at 2 AM EST about a delayed order.
AI receptionist greets warmly, identifies the customer, and asks how to help.
AI pulls real-time tracking from your platform, explains the delay, and offers solutions.
Customer hangs up satisfied with tracking info and a courtesy discount applied.
"Thank you for calling TechStyle. I'm the customer service assistant. How can I help you today?"
"Hi, I ordered a laptop case last week and it still hasn't arrived. Order number TS-78234."
"I found your order, Sarah. It shipped on January 22nd via FedEx. I can see there's been a weather delay in the Midwest. It's currently in Memphis and showing an updated delivery date of January 28th. Would you like me to send you the tracking link via text?"
"Yes please. And can I get a discount for the delay?"
"Absolutely. I've texted the tracking link to your phone and applied a 15% discount code THANKYOU15 to your account for future purchases. Is there anything else I can help with?"
