Auto-respond and escalate store tickets to mimic local support speed
Remote workers in retailtech can't scale customer support without local teams, leading to delayed responses and high churn among store owners.
RetailRelay ingests support tickets from email/Slack, uses AI to generate retail-specific responses or auto-resolve simple ones. It prioritizes based on store urgency and routes to remote agents with suggested replies. Remote teams scale effortlessly, cutting response times from days to minutes and boosting store owner retention.
