Answer Amazon, eBay and webstore messages in one place

Bring marketplace buyer messages into one AI-assisted inbox and hit marketplace response-time targets.

The problem

Marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay score sellers on response times, and messages arrive in separate seller portals. Teams lose time switching between portals and miss SLAs at weekends.

How AI helps

A multichannel helpdesk pulls every marketplace and webstore message into one queue with order context, and an AI agent answers routine questions or drafts replies in the marketplace's required format.

How to roll it out

  1. 1

    List every channel you sell on and its response-time rules.

  2. 2

    Connect each marketplace account and your webstore to one helpdesk.

  3. 3

    Create channel-specific templates (marketplaces restrict links and some wording).

  4. 4

    Automate tracking and returns replies first; keep A-to-z claims and disputes with people.

  5. 5

    Report on SLA compliance per channel weekly.
