How do retail chains structure Bublly across stores and corporate?

Each store gets its own workspace with store-level inbox and SLA. Corporate sits above as a global workspace with aggregated dashboards, escalation routing, and brand-voice templates. Customers contacting a store stay scoped; brand-level inquiries route to corporate.

How does the AI answer exchange and return questions?

Upload your return policy document. The AI is grounded in that source and answers within policy scope. Edge cases (damaged item, beyond window) escalate to a human staff member with the conversation context attached.

Can customers check if an item is in stock at a specific store?

Yes — via real-time inventory webhook from your POS or OMS. Customer asks; AI checks; response includes store, size, and current availability. Latency depends on your inventory system's webhook frequency.

Can we send a sale announcement across multiple channels?

Email campaigns are supported today, with per-customer consent state honored automatically. WhatsApp and SMS broadcast channels are on the roadmap — contact us if multi-channel campaign delivery is required before purchase.

Overcoming the Chaos

Running a store is hard. Answering the same product, timing and offer questions across WhatsApp, calls and walk-ins shouldn't be.

Store timing queries

Impact: Phone rings constantly.

'Is [product] available?' messages all day

Impact: Staff can't check and respond while serving.

Customers ask about ongoing offers

Impact: Same offer details typed 100 times.

Repetitive Questions

Staff spending 70% of their time answering the same 10 questions about timings, stock, delivery and offers.

What's the price of [item]?

What time do you close today?

Any offers/discounts running?

Do you deliver to [area]?

Do you have [size/color/variant]?

Can I order and pick up later?

Do you accept card/UPI?

Buyer's Guide

What to look for in support software for retail stores and chains

Retail chains balance store-level customer service, loyalty queries, exchange requests, and corporate brand voice. Five criteria where the wrong tool fragments customer experience.

Store-level + brand-level inbox structure

Each store handles local pickup, fitting, in-store availability. Corporate handles brand reputation, loyalty, and policy questions. Look for workspace-per-store with a brand-level overlay.

Loyalty program lookup in chat

Customers ask 'how many points do I have' constantly. AI agent should pull from your loyalty system (Capillary, Loyalive, custom) and respond inline — no portal redirect.

Exchange and return policy AI

Policy-aware AI answers 'can I exchange after 30 days' or 'do I need the receipt' from your published policy, not guesswork. Verify the AI can be grounded in your policy documents.

In-store availability checks

'Is the navy size M in your Bandra store?' should be answered from real-time inventory, not a 24-hour-old snapshot. Verify inventory sync latency.

Multi-channel campaign sends

Sale announcements, new arrivals, loyalty tier updates — all should send across WhatsApp/SMS/email with one workflow, respecting consent state per channel.
