## In practice

A customer asks: “Do you have this in store in size 42?”

The agent replies: “Three left in the Marina branch. Reserve one until 6pm?”

Outcome: Item reserved

## The fix

- **Stock questions answered instantly** — Price, availability and opening hours handled 24/7 on every channel.
- **Foot traffic that converts** — Shoppers arrive knowing the item is there and waiting for them.
- **One inbox for every branch** — Every store's WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in a single place.

## What you would tell the agent, in plain words

- Answer stock, sizes and opening hours.
- Reserve items for pickup when asked.
- Share this week’s offers when someone asks about prices.
- Hand complaints and exchanges to the store team.
