FAQ
Common questions from Melbourne retail owners
I'm a small shop with 1-2 staff. Is this overkill?+
Small shops benefit the most. When you can't afford dedicated staff for marketing, inventory, and customer service, AI handles all three. Plans start from $500/month for independent retailers.
Does it work with Shopify and my in-store POS?+
Yes. We integrate with Shopify, Square, Lightspeed, Vend, and most Australian POS systems. Online and in-store inventory syncs automatically so customers always see accurate stock levels.
Can it handle product recommendations?+
Absolutely. The AI learns from your product catalogue and customer purchase history to suggest complementary items, alternatives for out-of-stock products, and personalised recommendations in emails and on your website.
What about returns and complaints?+
AI handles standard return policy questions and initiates the returns process. Complex complaints are escalated to you with full context so you can resolve them personally.
How quickly can I see results?+
Most retailers see measurable results within 30 days. Inventory accuracy improves immediately, customer response times drop to under a minute, and marketing engagement typically lifts within 2-3 weeks.
