Transform your hardware store's customer service with WhatsApp

Never miss a customer inquiry again with our intelligent WhatsApp AI bot.

Imagine it's 10pm, and a customer from Bulla Jamhuri messages your hardware store looking for specific paint stock. They need it delivered to their site in Bulla Mpya by morning, but if you don’t respond, they might turn to a competitor. With our WhatsApp AI bot, all enquiries are captured instantly, even outside your usual hours. It can handle messages regarding your price list and stock availability, and when necessary, it escalates to a human operator to ensure no message goes unanswered. This is crucial during peak periods, such as seasonal school renovations when demand surges, particularly in areas like Bulla Bulacha and Township.
