Challenge

  • 6 agents + a shared inbox couldn't keep first-response time under 20 minutes. Customers walked.
  • Upsell was a manual phone call — 4% take rate and everyone hated making them.
  • No single view of a customer across the 8 stores. Returns could happen at any store, and the support team never knew.

Solution

  • Shared WhatsApp inbox with SLA timers — every message tagged and routed to the right store's support agent.
  • Zoho CRM connector synced every conversation to the customer's profile automatically.
  • Upsell flow fires 3 days after purchase — personalised offer based on what they bought.
  • Handoff from bot to human keeps the full thread, so customers never repeat themselves.

Results

  • Median first-response time dropped from 18 minutes → 3.2 minutes.
  • CSAT went from 4.1 → 4.7 in a single quarter.
  • Upsell take-rate went from 4% (phone) → 26% (WhatsApp). Same offer, different channel.
  • Support headcount dropped by 2 agents — moved to upsell / retention roles.

3.2 min first response · +26% upsell
Our support team replies on WhatsApp the way they reply on personal chats. CSAT went from 4.1 to 4.7 in a single quarter — and we needed two fewer agents on shift. The upsell flow alone pays for Go4whatsup 10 times over.
