Bouwkampioen, a major Belgian construction materials retailer, was struggling with their customer support volume. The team couldn’t keep pace with constant questions about orders, deliveries, and stock availability.
We created a chatbot that understands how customers actually ask questions and gives them immediate answers. It can handle tricky requests too, like pulling up invoices or verifying what’s in stock. The system works across languages and adjusts to traffic spikes, which has sped up response times considerably while reducing costs.
Once it went live, manual support requests dropped by around 60%. That translates to savings of approximately €5,000 each month based on what customer support typically costs in Belgium.
