The Challenge

800 Tickets a Day.
6 Agents. Zero Nights Off.

ShopFlow had scaled their product catalog to 2,400+ SKUs across 14 categories. Customer growth was explosive — but their support infrastructure hadn't kept pace. Agents were drowning in repetitive queries while complex issues went unanswered for 18+ hours.

  • Processing 800+ daily support tickets with only 6 support agents
  • High response times causing cart abandonment and negative reviews
  • Repetitive queries consuming 70% of agent bandwidth
  • No after-hours support coverage — 40% of customers shopped at night
  • Inconsistent answers creating trust issues with customers
Our Solution

An AI Brain Trained
on ShopFlow's DNA.

We didn't deploy a generic chatbot. We built a dedicated AI agent that understood ShopFlow's catalog, policies, and customer language from day one — and got smarter with every conversation.

  • GPT-4 chatbot trained on complete product catalog and 3,000+ historical tickets
  • Intelligent intent detection handles 97% of common queries autonomously
  • Seamless Shopify integration with real-time order and inventory access
  • Smart escalation routes complex cases to human agents with full context
  • Continuous learning from new interactions improves accuracy monthly
