As part of this new CRM solution, Wildcraft is introducing a virtual chatbot on their website and via WhatsApp. This virtual chatbot will be available in English and eight Indian regional languages (Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Oriya, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam).
The virtual chatbot will handle a high volume of inquiries, from general FAQ’s to questions about multiple topics including products, policies and procedures and even customer complaints.
Wildcraft India Pvt. Ltd Co-Founders Gaurav Dublish & Siddharth Sood said Wildcraft has always believed in harnessing the power of the unknown.
“In the last couple of months, we have been able to reach out to some of the remotest areas in the country to enable everyone to be safe and be ready. A lot of these consumers are first time users of Wildcraft and it was necessary to create a mechanism to reach out to them effectively,” said Wildcraft India Pvt. Ltd Co-Founders Gaurav Dublish & Siddharth Sood.
