The challenge

As Inkifi’s order volumes increased, so did the pressure on their small support team. Customer engagement was managed primarily through email and phone calls, and every “where is my order?” question required a manual lookup in Magento and a separate reply through Zendesk. Not exactly a swift and seamless system.

During busy trading periods, the team found themselves overwhelmed by repetitive queries. Support agents were spending hours each day checking order statuses, locating tracking links, and answering identical questions about shipping progress. As a result, response times stretched, and customers were left waiting for updates, leading to rising frustration and a drop in CSAT scores...

The lack of integration between Magento and the support inbox meant teams had limited visibility and struggled to deliver consistent, accurate responses. This challenge became more of a hot topic during the holiday season when order volumes surged, and it became clear that the business could not scale customer support without introducing automation.

Inkifi knew that without action, the pressure on teams would continue to grow and the business risked lower customer satisfaction, slower reply times, and fewer repeat purchases. And so, to sustain their digital transformation and support ongoing growth, they needed a solution that could reduce repetitive workload and deliver faster, more reliable customer interactions. That’s where we stepped in.

The solution

Ai chat bot cs

To kick things off, Focus Group introduced Inkifi to our agentic AI chatbot, which can instantly recognise customer intent and provide real-time updates on order and shipping information. Seamlessly integrated with Magento, the chatbot could retrieve live data to return accurate tracking links or expected delivery dates within seconds.

We thought our AI chatbot was the perfect answer due to its ability to automate personalised responses without requiring changes to existing systems. From there, setup was fast and straightforward, completed in just two weeks with testing during quieter trading periods to ensure a smooth rollout.

The chatbot soon became part of day-to-day operations, automatically resolving more than half of incoming order queries and significantly reducing manual workloads. Teams were able to monitor performance via a dashboard and required only brief training to feel confident using the new capabilities.

By automating their most common queries, Inkifi strengthened their customer journey and created a more efficient support framework that enables the business to manage growth without compromising on service quality.

The results

The impact of our AI solution has been a game-changer for both customers and staff:

Customers now receive instant answers at any time, while teams enjoy lighter workloads and more consistent interactions. The chatbot has also revealed unexpected insights into fulfilment issues and uncovered gaps in website FAQs, improving its knowledge base.

With immediate, accurate order updates now automated, operational pressure and support costs have fallen. Looking forward, Inkifi plans to extend AI into pre-sales enquiries and proactive shipping alerts - and we’re excited to support what’s next.
