How chatbots are helping

Digital sales assistance

EBM’s Conversational AI capabilities can be used to enhance the retail experience at multiple levels. Chatbots can learn individual customer preferences to provide an enhanced online shopping experience, or suggest a convenient physical store.

They can also drive traffic with tailor-made and real-time push notifications, personalised suggestions, special offers, seasonal promotions and discounts.

Smoother transactions

Using natural language in the purchase process can help ease customer frustrations and reduce the number of abandoned shopping baskets. A chatbot created with EBM will smooth the check-out process and provide an efficient, friendly contact point for customers to monitor the status of their purchases and track shipments.

Simplified shipment and reduced returns

Chatbots created with EBM can be used to streamline the whole back office and fulfilment operation. Automate guarantee registration and repair and recall information based on customers’ purchase history, while incorporating conversational AI into the reverse logistics cycle to resolve problems and reduce the number of returned orders.

Customer queries

When customers have questions or need help with a certain issue, digital assistants can provide instant and accurate responses.

Simple queries such as “where do I send returned items” or “how can I change my delivery address” can be handled by the retail chatbot, with more complex queries automatically escalated to a human team member.

L'Oréal created the Luxe gifting chatbot to help users find their perfect fragrance

The L’Oréal Luxe team wanted to improve customer satisfaction and increase brand awareness by deploying a fun and easy to use virtual fragrance advisor. Accessible via Facebook Messenger, the chatbot recommends the best perfumes based on the qualities of the person receiving the gift.
