Contact Specialists
Connected Retail

From showroom to delivery: the connected retail journey

Connect every touchpoint of your store experience so customers get fast answers and your staff always stays in sync.

Instant communication from the first inquiry

Customers reach your team by phone, text, chat, or online form. Messages route directly to the right store or associate, keeping response times fast even during peak hours.

Smooth appointment scheduling for showroom visits

Coordinate product viewings, in-store consultations, and planning sessions effortlessly with automated text reminders and self-service rescheduling that reduce no-shows.

Keeping the sales team and store associates connected

Use overhead paging for rapid alerts, internal team messaging for floor coordination, and cross-department routing so no customer gets abandoned on hold.

Clear, automated delivery coordination

Send automated day-of-delivery notifications, offer two-way texting for arrival confirmations, and keep direct links to drivers so customers always know what to expect.

Because UC Connect centralizes talk, text, chat, scheduling, and notifications, retailers see every interaction in one place — no duplicate work, no missed follow-ups, no lost messages.

Unified Platform

One platform for every retail conversation

Connect frontline store associates, central merchandising, and customers across voice, text, team messaging, and automated AI assistance.

Talk, Text & Chat: One Platform For All Retail Interactions

Intelligent voice & routing

HD voice with smart call flows and voicemail-to-email so every store caller gets answered.

Shared business SMS

Coordinate curbside pickups and dispatch order alerts from a shared store number on desktop or mobile.

Store & merchandising chat

Keep store associates, warehouse staff, and central buyers aligned instantly on stock shifts and promotions.

Flexible digital fax

Approve vendor invoices and shipping manifests via client, mobile app, email-to-fax, or legacy ATA adapters.

AI Connect: Smarter CX & Streamlined Retail Workflows
Retail operations thrive when communication is backed by intelligence. AI Connect embeds conversational bots, real-time analytics, and automated routing into your regular workflows.
24/7 conversational assistants

Handle common questions like store hours, item availability, and return policies automatically.

Automated call summaries

Transcribe customer calls and surface trends without requiring store managers to review hours of audio.

Intent-based routing

Guide inquiries directly to specialized staff and detect customer frustration early for supervisor support.

Frontline agent assistance

Equip support staff with relevant customer context and recommended responses during live chats.

Eliminate communication silos, reduce missed interactions, empower staff with unified tools, and use AI to enhance efficiency and customer experience — on one reliable platform.
