and personalization, delivered.

What is conversational
commerce?

Everyone is online today, whether it is
on social networks or messaging
applications and e-retailers have been taking notice.

Digital assistants led by conversational
commerce
are the next natural move in 
consumer interaction for brands and
creates a direct two-way communication
line so that they can meet their consumers wherever they are.

This enhanced shopping experience can be delivered with the help of conversational
interfaces such as chatbots or voice bots,
anywhere from e-commerce websites to
social media channels like Facebook, and
messaging apps like WhatsApp.

Consumers can now get solutions to their sizing queries, access immediate order support, get personalized recommendations, and even checkout from within the messaging apps or social media networks.

Not only does this improve engagement tremendously with AI bringing personalization to the mix, based on previous consumer conversational data, but it can all be done without consumers have to toggle between different websites and platforms.
