AI live chat for merchants and trade counters

Live chat that does more than reply. Otis reads the enquiry, works out what the customer needs, checks stock and pricing and captures the order, so live chat becomes a sales channel instead of a message box.

Live chat that closes

Traditional live chat needs a person on the other end, and outside opening hours it just collects a message. Otis is always on. It handles the routine enquiries that fill your counter team’s day, works out quantities the way an experienced counter hand would, and captures orders around the clock.

For a merchant or distributor, that means fewer missed enquiries, a counter that keeps moving at busy times, and demand captured in the evenings and at weekends.
