Resolve order tracking, returns, exchanges, and product inquiries automatically — at Black Friday volume, every day of the year, without a headcount ceiling.
E-commerce retailers see 3–5x call volume spikes during peak seasons with a fixed agent team that cannot scale in time
E-commerce operations teams using Vociply resolve over 65% of customer contacts without human agent involvement — including during peak season at 4x baseline volume
Retail contact centers face a structural impossibility: call volume is radically unpredictable, but hiring cycles take weeks. A viral social post can generate 50,000 calls in 48 hours. Black Friday to Christmas triples baseline volume. A fulfillment delay sends 100,000 order status calls inside a day. Every year, retail operations leaders face the same unanswerable question: how many seasonal agents do you hire for a peak that lasts eight weeks, when lead time for training is four weeks and attrition during peak is 35%? The answer most retailers have found is that they cannot solve this with headcount. They hold times spike, CSAT scores collapse, and agents burn out on an endless loop of 'where is my order?' calls — the same question, with the same answer, repeated millions of times per quarter. Vociply replaces the capacity problem entirely. AI agents handle order tracking, return initiation, exchange processing, and product inquiries from your OMS and product catalog in real time — at any volume, instantly. Your human agents handle escalations, complex complaints, and the interactions that genuinely require empathy and judgment.

The most common retail call: "Where is my order?" Customers call, provide their order number or email, and receive a precise status update — carrier, tracking number, last scan location, and estimated delivery — pulled in real time from your OMS. No agent required. Average call duration: under 90 seconds.
Walk customers through return eligibility based on your policy, generate return labels, and initiate the refund process — all within the call. The agent checks order date, product category, and return window, then emails the return label and confirms the refund timeline. Complex exceptions escalate to your returns team.
Defective item? Wrong size? The AI handles exchange requests: verifies the issue, checks inventory availability, initiates the replacement order, and confirms the shipment. Return of the original item is coordinated simultaneously.
Callers ask about sizing, materials, compatibility, availability at specific locations, and lead times. The agent queries your product catalog and inventory system in real time, providing accurate answers that convert to purchases — not "let me transfer you to check."
When your carrier flags a delivery exception — attempted delivery, address issue, customs hold — Vociply automatically calls the customer before they call you. Resolves the exception proactively, reschedules delivery, or corrects the address. Eliminates 70% of exception-driven inbound volume.
Automated outbound calls 48 hours after delivery: confirm receipt, capture satisfaction score, and request reviews for high-rated interactions. Flag negative experiences immediately for proactive service recovery before they become public complaints.
Vociply has no call volume ceiling. A 10x demand spike — caused by a sale, a fulfillment delay, or a viral product — is handled at the same speed and quality as a quiet Tuesday. No emergency staffing, no hold time degradation. Your peak season becomes operationally indistinguishable from your baseline.
Connects to Shopify, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and custom OMS platforms. Carrier data from UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, and regional carriers is fetched in real time. The agent has the same visibility into your fulfillment pipeline that your best agents do — and answers immediately, not after a database lookup.
At 500,000 peak-season calls per year — a mid-size e-commerce operation — automating 65% with Vociply costs a fraction of staffing those calls with seasonal agents. The savings compound: no recruiting spend, no training overhead, no attrition replacement, no post-peak layoffs. Fixed cost becomes variable, scaling perfectly with demand.

Yes. Vociply scales horizontally without capacity limits. A 10x spike in concurrent calls is handled transparently — no hold times, no degraded quality. There is no capacity planning required on your side. You pay for actual usage, not provisioned capacity.
Vociply connects to your OMS via REST API. Pre-built integrations are available for Shopify, Magento, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and custom platforms. The agent queries order status, shipment tracking, and return eligibility in real time within the call — always showing current data, not cached snapshots.
Yes, within your configured policy rules. The agent verifies return eligibility, generates the return shipping label, emails it to the customer, and flags the refund for processing in your OMS. Refund execution can be immediate or upon receipt of the returned item — configurable per product category and return reason.
Vociply detects sentiment in real time. When a caller is angry, distressed, or repeatedly escalating, the agent acknowledges the frustration, offers a resolution within its authority, and warm-transfers to a human agent if the caller is not satisfied — with a full call summary and sentiment flag. Empathy for genuinely difficult situations stays with your team.
Vociply supports 30+ languages with automatic detection. International customers call and receive service in their language without menu selection, separate phone numbers, or dedicated queues. Critical for brands with significant European, Latin American, or Asian customer bases.
