Channels
Chat, email, Instagram
Lumen Boutique is a retail business based in Brooklyn, NY. Like most teams their size, they were losing customers to slow replies and missed calls.
The challenge
The team was answering the same questions all day across phone, messages, and email. After hours, inquiries piled up, and by the next morning many of those customers had already gone elsewhere.
The solution
Kova was connected to their chat, email, instagram in under a week. A specialist imported their policies and pricing, set handoff rules with the team, and reviewed the first answers before going live.
The results
50% fewer “where is my order” tickets
3x holiday message volume handled
0 seasonal hires needed
What’s next
The team is now expanding Kova to new channels and using conversation insights to update their services and FAQ.
Half our tickets were “where is my order.” Kova handles those, and my team works on the hard ones.
