Conversational Commerce Automation

Executive Overview

A national retail brand sought to modernise the way customers interact with its products online. Traditional e-commerce journeys required customers to navigate multiple pages and complete long checkout flows, resulting in drop-offs and lost opportunities.

Kobliat implemented a conversational commerce experience that allows customers to discover products, ask questions, receive recommendations, and complete purchases through messaging platforms. The solution integrates messaging channels with the retailer’s product catalogue and ordering systems, creating a more natural and efficient shopping experience.

By simplifying the buying journey through conversational interactions, the retailer improved engagement, accelerated product discovery, and increased conversion opportunities.

The Challenge

The retailer was experiencing increasing customer engagement through messaging platforms, but its existing systems were not designed to support commerce interactions through conversational channels.

Customers frequently contacted the business through messaging to enquire about products, pricing, availability, and promotions. However, the support teams had to respond manually, and customers were often redirected back to the traditional website checkout process.

This fragmented experience slowed down the purchasing journey and created friction for customers who expected faster and more conversational interactions.

  • Growing interest from customers resulting in significant ongoing request volume in the sales contact centre
  • Manual responses required for product enquiries
  • Slow product discovery and information retrieval
  • Customers abandoning purchases due to friction in the checkout process
  • Lack of integration between messaging platforms and commerce systems
