AI phone ordering proof of concept for a UK gardening company

A proof of concept for a leading UK gardening and horticulture company: an AI agent that takes phone orders from start to finish, including payment.

The challenge

Phone orders were handled entirely by people: answering the call, adding products to the basket, and helping the customer pay and check out.

What we are doing

  • An AI agent that takes the call and adds the customer's products to the basket.
  • It takes the payment.
  • It reconciles the order in the distribution system, so the order is ready to fulfil without anyone re-keying it.

Results so far

The proof of concept is about to launch. Results will be measured against the baseline and added here when available.
