How do the 2 AI Agents work together?
AI Shopping Agent handles customer interactions - understands natural language, builds carts, suggests products, and completes purchases conversationally. AI Pricing Agent monitors 5+ competitors per store location in real-time and recommends optimal prices to maximize revenue while protecting margins. Both agents share data to create a unified strategy: better prices attract more customers, while smart shopping assistance increases basket size.
Will it work with our POS system?
98% compatibility rate with 10 major POS systems: Square, Clover, NCR, Toast, Lightspeed, Revel, IT Retail, TouchBistro, ECRS, and NRS. We'll verify compatibility in your demo call.
What support do we get during rollout?
Dedicated enterprise support team, 24/7 monitoring, 99.9% uptime SLA, and on-site training for your staff during deployment phase.
How long does deployment take?
5-9 weeks from contract signing to full rollout. We recommend starting with a 2-5 store pilot (2 weeks), then scaling to all locations. Zero operational disruption guaranteed.
What's the typical ROI timeline?
Most chains see 4-6 month payback period. By year 3, average ROI is 3.2x investment. 64-store chains typically see $16-45M EBITDA uplift in first year.
