For the brand that doesn' want to lose the sale.

What retailers plug in first

One thread, four channels, same shopper.

  1. 01
    Order-status SMS, AI-written

    Updates ride the same number the brand already uses. Replies thread back to a human.

  2. 02
    WhatsApp returns flow

    Template library covers exchanges, store credit, and fraud holds, agent picks one.

  3. 03
    Web chat on every product page

    The pre-purchase question gets answered before the cart bounces.

  4. 04
    Nova catches overflow

    Before the shopper clicks to a competitor, Nova picks up, qualifies, and hands off.

How retail teams measure it

Conversations, attributed back to the cart.

Abandoned-cart recovery

Recovered carts trace back to the conversation that re-opened them, IG reply, SMS nudge, or web chat.

Return-rate containment

Returns that turned into exchanges or store credit are tagged at the conversation level for the team.

Repeat-purchase attribution

Every reorder is tied back to the agent or AI nudge that earned it. No more guessing on attribution.

Peak-season readiness

The four weeks revenue actually decides itself.

Nov 28
Black Friday

Surge capacity flips on. Holiday IVR branches go live. Nova catches voicemail overflow.

Dec 02
Cyber Monday

Seasonal agents ramp with AI coaching. Supervisors watch live queue depth, not exports.

Dec 23
Pre-Christmas

WhatsApp returns pre-staged. ETA-text templates ready. Localised greetings per country.

Dec 26
Boxing Day

Returns surge handled in-thread. Exchange-first messaging keeps revenue from leaving.

Turning a return into a rebuy

The exchange ships before the return arrives.

A returns conversation starts on WhatsApp. The agent, seeing the full purchase history, offers a store credit and suggests the item the shopper actually wanted.

One thread. One resolution. One extra order, before the returned item is even in the warehouse.

  1. Shopper · WhatsApp
    "Hi, I need to return these jeans. Wrong fit."
  2. Brand · WhatsApp
    "Looking at your order, store credit or exchange?"
  3. Shopper · WhatsApp
    "Exchange. Same style, size up."
  4. Brand · SMS
    "Booked. New pair ships today, return label inbound."
  5. Brand · Email
    "Bonus: a piece you actually wanted is back in stock →"
Black Friday readiness checklist

A ten-step runbook ships with the account.

  1. T-2 weeks
    Provision surge capacity

    Add seats, warm up numbers, rehearse failover. Carriers get the heads-up before traffic does.

  2. T-1 week
    Rehearse the peak scripts

    Seasonal agents run through the high-volume templates with AI coaching in their ear.

  3. Day of
    Flip on holiday IVR + overflow

    After-hours overflow goes to Nova. Live queue depth stays on the supervisor wall.

  4. T+1 week
    Export the campaign debrief

    Conversation-attributed revenue. Win/loss reasons. The runbook gets updated for next year.

Questions we hear on the first call.

Can we localise by country?

Yes, per-region greetings, languages, and compliance rules. The same shopper thread carries across markets, and the right localisation kicks in based on the caller's region.
