    Overview

    How we work in retail

    Retailers deal with high volumes of similar customer questions, large product ranges and several sales channels. We work with independent retailers, multi-site operators and e-commerce businesses on customer service agents, product content, personalisation and returns handling. Each project starts with a measure of the current workload, so the result can be compared with it.

    Retail projects can involve consumer protection law and UK GDPR, particularly around customer data and automated decisions about customers. Before launch, we agree with you which rules apply and how the tool handles them, including how refunds, cancellations and complaints reach a person.
