Challenge
Managers searched for the model by photo by hand, asked for the size again and often got it wrong with small-fitting models. Returns ate into the margin.
- Finding a model by photo took up to 10 minutes
- Sizes were advised by eye
- Orders were copied into the CRM manually
Solution
The AI assistant recognises the model from the photo and catalogue, advises a size that accounts for the fit, explains exchange terms and creates the order in KeyCRM. Once a manager confirms it, the bot creates the Nova Poshta waybill and sends the number in WhatsApp.
- Model recognition from the customer's photo
- Size from foot length adjusted for the model
- The order without a manager, the waybill once they confirm
How the bot is built
The customer writes in a messenger, the AI assistant understands the request and works with the business's services itself. No copying between tabs.
What happens while the customer types
Checks the size chart
The bot knows Court White fits small and suggests a 9.5 instead of the usual 9 for a 27 cm foot.
| Size | Foot, cm | Stock | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 8 | 26.0 | 3 |
| 3 | 9 | 26.5 | 5 |
| 4 | 10 | 28.0 | 2 |
| 5 | 9.5 ✓ | 27.0 | 4 |
Creates the order
The order appears in KeyCRM with the photo, size, payment method and WhatsApp as the source. A manager checks it and confirms with one tap.
Ships with Nova Poshta
Once confirmed, the bot creates the waybill and sends the number in WhatsApp. Within 24 hours of the customer's last message this is a regular non-template reply: the first 1,000 a month are free, then Meta's rates apply.
