Case Study: Boosting Customer Satisfaction with AI Chatbots in E-commerce 

In the competitive world of online retail, providing a seamless and engaging customer experience is essential for retaining customers and driving sales. While e-commerce platforms can gather large amounts of data on customer behavior, many struggle to use this data effectively to deliver personalized, real-time support that mimics the in-store experience. 

Challenges

Retailers often face key challenges in creating a personalized and responsive online shopping experience: 

• Real-Time Assistance: Online shoppers frequently have questions about products, orders, or delivery, but lack immediate support to answer these inquiries, which can lead to frustration and cart abandonment. 

• Scalability: Providing human support at scale, particularly during peak shopping times, is resource-intensive and costly. 

• Customer Engagement: Without real-time engagement, online retailers struggle to guide customers towards relevant products, promotions, and recommendations that match their preferences.
