It helps the shopper to directly find solutions using self-service technology without the assistance of an in-store employee, enabling the retailer to enhance sales by reducing store labour expense.
Integrated with natural language understanding (NLU), machine learning and guiding map, chatbots help shoppers to interact using keywords.
The new technology helps shoppers to locate products through Facebook Messenger or SMS, as well as assists them to find in-store facilities such as restrooms, in-store pickup or customer service desks.
Point Inside co-founder and CEO Josh Marti said: “Today’s consumers expect instant answers and fast resolution. Time is invaluable and giving back that time immensely improves the shopping experience.”
