One chatbot for 13 localized domains and multiple languages

Hairlust keeps things simple and streamlined by using one chatbot flow for all of their localized D2C stores. The chatbot flow also uses filters to tailor responses based on the visitor's country.

Premium and personalized, yet still self-service

Hairlust aggregates customer service inquiries on the Contact us page. Their social media channels also redirect users there with auto-replies, streamlining all customer queries into one optimized landing page.

Such a setup lets the Hairlust team focus on more creative and less repetitive tasks. Consolidating customer inquiries helps Hairlust manage and respond to inquiries quickly and more accurately, creating a consistent support experience.

Isn't it great when tracking and analyzing customer issues become more straightforward, leading to better solutions and higher customer satisfaction? As a result, the team has more time to work on innovative projects and strategies.

Instant insights on customers' needs

The Hairlust team uses Reports and Archives to better understand their customers. With AI-powered chats, they can get both stats and detailed feedback.

ChatBot platforms' Archives and Reports

Reports help them see the most common interactions, giving a clear picture of what customers want when they start chatting.

Archives, on the other hand, let them look at individual chats to see how users interact with their chatbot.

We get a much better understanding of our website visitors’ most popular concerns. The reporting tool shows us what topics are the most popular. This data helps us prioritize where to focus and where to improve our communication.
