Retail

AI agents for the moments that shape customer loyalty, conversion, and post-purchase trust

Retail customers do not think in channels or support categories. They want to find the right product, get a clear answer, fix an order issue, complete a return, apply a discount, track a delivery, or move to the next step without friction. Rasa helps retailers build AI agents that can handle those moments across commerce, service, and loyalty workflows, connecting to the systems behind the experience and carrying context from one interaction to the next.

From pre-purchase guidance to post-purchase resolution, Rasa enables retailers to automate real customer work across chat, voice, apps, and messaging while keeping experiences consistent, brand-aligned, and operationally controlled.

Trusted by leading retail and e-commerce enterprises.

How it works

Connect to the systems behind the customer experience

Work across commerce, service, loyalty, and fulfillment systems so AI agents can act on real customer requests instead of just answering them.

1

Orchestrate retail workflows with control

Guide shoppers through order management, returns, delivery issues, promotions, and account support using AI agents that follow your business rules and brand standards.

2

Reuse what works and expand faster

Turn proven workflows into reusable building blocks that can be extended across channels, brands, regions, and use cases without rebuilding from scratch.

3
use cases

Built for high-value, high-stakes conversations

Order Management & Post-Purchase Support

Automate the highest-volume moments after purchase, from order status and cancellation requests to delivery changes and shipment issues. This reduces “where is my order” volume while improving trust after purchase.

Returns, Exchanges and Refund Workflows

Turn one of retail’s most expensive service categories into a smoother, more guided experience by helping customers start returns, check eligibility, choose exchange options, and track outcomes.

Product Discovery & Shopping Guidance

Support shoppers before purchase with guided product search, comparison, fit or compatibility questions, and personalized recommendations that help move customers closer to checkout.

Promotions & Checkout Recovery

Help customers understand offers, apply promo codes, resolve discount issues, and move through checkout-related questions without dropping out of the journey.

Loyalty, Memberships and Repeat Purchase Support

Handle points balances, reward eligibility, subscription changes, and account-related service moments that influence retention and repeat revenue.

Delivery Issues and Service Recovery

Respond to delivery failures, refund delays, replacement requests, and other moments where quick, consistent resolution matters most for customer trust.

Support Triage & Escalation

When automation should hand off, the assistant collects the right details, summarizes the issue, and routes the case to the correct team with full context, including order information, timestamps, issue category, and urgency. Agents start with what they need. Customers do not have to repeat themselves. The handoff feels continuous, not disruptive.
