The problem

Email campaigns get skimmed

Marketing email competes with dozens of other messages, and most of it goes unread. When a shopper does reply, the answer often lands in an inbox nobody watches.

Broadcasts to customers who opted in

Send restocks, launches and offers to customers who opted in, using templates WhatsApp approves.

Cart reminders

Message shoppers who left a checkout with the product and a link back to it.

Neo answers every reply

When a customer replies to a campaign, Neo answers their question and hands the chat to your team when needed.

The agent

One agent.
The whole customer journey.

Email, live chat, and social all land on the same agent. It remembers the customer across every one of them and follows the same rules everywhere.

01 — Resolution

Resolves tickets end-to-end.

It pulls the order, checks your refund policy, and takes the action — refund, replacement, new address. It reads the photos people attach, then tags the thread and closes it.

  • Refunds
  • Returns
  • Orders
  • Shipping

02 — Retention

Saves subscribers from churn.

When someone clicks cancel, it offers what you told it to offer: a discount, a pause, a skipped delivery. Every save and every reason writes back to your subscription tool.

  • Cancels
  • Pauses
  • Frequency
  • Billing

03 — Revenue

Converts before they bounce.

It knows your catalog and your reviews. When a shopper stalls at checkout with one last question, it answers in your voice and points them at the product that actually fits.

  • Presale
  • Sizing
  • Matching
  • Recovery

When this isn’t the right fit

  • Your customers haven’t opted in to WhatsApp messages. You need their permission first.
  • Your customers rarely use WhatsApp, which is common in parts of North America.
  • You want to send promotions every day. WhatsApp limits and customer patience both run out fast.
