India's largest architectural hardware company generates 9K leads using WotNot

Armed with the idea to leverage automation, Amit saw it in practice in a place where he had least expected it. At the peak of summer, when most of India witnesses 46℃, Amit searched to purchase the perfect air cooler. He came across Symphony Limited’s (WotNot customer) chatbot, where he first-hand witnessed and experienced how Symphony was able to scale their support with conversational marketing. He looked at their flow and how the bot fires immediate responses and engages the user in conversation. 

Amit was impressed by the chatbot and contacted WotNot after seeing ‘Powered by WotNot’ on Symphony’s chat widget. Amit reached out to get a fair understanding of how chatbots work and how he can implement the same for Ozone to automate its basic support and ease the pressure off its team. Since they were new to automation, Amit wanted to trust WotNot with building and deploying the bot and take care of the entire process. He discussed this with WotNot’s team. After understanding the whats and hows of a customer support chatbot, Amit was assured of WotNot’s expertise in designing an all-encompassing solution for them.

Designing a tailor-made experience

In the first step to design the solution, WotNot’s conversation design team had a series of sessions with Amit and his team to thoroughly audit and understand the exact problem statements and business cases to map out the areas that the chatbot would assist.

After getting familiar with the areas where the automation was a good fit, WotNot began creating a blueprint ideal for solving Ozone’s problem whilst providing a conversational experience. 

This conversation flow chart helped Ozone’s sales, marketing, and operations teams align their thoughts before the WotNot team started to work on designing and developing the chatbot. After going through the request queries that the support team was bombarded with, WotNot categorised these into:

• Product Inquiries

• Bulk Order 

• After-sales Support 

• Technical Support 

• Warranty  

Searching products is a breeze

With over 3000 products in Ozone’s portfolio, customers going through all of them is nearly impossible. With WotNot’s flow, the visitors could browse through different SKUs and categories/sub-categories before finally presenting a set of products in a carousel format.

Carousels helped compress the details of a product by showing the product’s image, a few details of the product, and a button or two to take the chat further. These two CTA buttons would show more information on the product and select the product to proceed with a sales inquiry.

Being always to there to help when needed

The new adopters choosing Ozone’s products always had questions about the installation, cutout details, warranty, and more. In the hardware space, every manufacturer has its own methods of installation. This resulted in project delays due to a lack of a quick resolution. 

To help circumvent this issue, the chatbot was trained to ask relevant questions to get to the crux of the matter and put together the context and information for the support agents who would quickly help resolve the customer’s problem(s) and resume their project. This helped streamline the support process while also providing instant answers to the customers using Ozone’s products.

Since most products fall into consumer-durable products, it called for an informative after-sales service, technical support, and warranty queries. Using the bot, the visitors can directly choose their option and either get a solution from the bot or connect with an agent.

Keeping track of each conversation

An organisation receives higher CSAT scores only when each customer is responded to quickly. Often, in large corporations, some queries get missed out from time to time. These queries later come to haunt the customer support reps through harsh emails or reflect a poor brand image through negative feedback on social media. Ozone India also wanted to avoid that path at all costs and aimed at a quick and reliable response system for their customers. 

WotNot sent each inquiry received from the chatbot (both sales and service-related) to Ozone’s specific departments via emails, detailing the type of inquiry and the context of the conversation. Ozone was also able to see the conversations from WotNot’s customer portal, where the chatbot took up each conversation that could be viewed in real-time.

In addition to this, to make sure that no inquiries go unanswered, WotNot would send a CSV file that consisted of the data captured by the chatbot in the past 24 hours to Ozone’s leadership team so that they were on top of all the inquiries.
