Chocomize was losing high-value B2B leads to slow, inconsistent inquiry handling. We designed an end-to-end automation that captures, enriches, drafts, and logs every corporate gifting inquiry — so the sales team focuses on closing, not admin.
Corporate gifting inquiries aren't simple "what's the price?" messages. Every Shopify form submission landed with custom branding requirements, multiple SKUs, quantity tiers, and tight delivery windows. The reps were doing the same slow chain on every single one: open the dashboard, look up products, draft a personalised reply from scratch, then manually create a CRM lead.
During Q4 and other peak gifting cycles, the system broke. Replies slipped from hours to days. Messaging quality became inconsistent across reps. And by Chocomize's own estimate, roughly one in five high-value inquiries was going cold or unanswered during peak volume — a quiet but expensive leak.
We mapped the workflow, designed the automation architecture, and stood up the build with our specialist implementation team. The pipeline triggers the moment a customer submits Chocomize's Shopify inquiry form. From there, it pulls relevant product context using retrieval-augmented generation, drafts a personalised on-brand reply, creates a fully populated CRM lead, and queues it for a 60-second human review before send.
The reps still own the conversation — they just no longer own the 30 minutes of admin that used to come with it.
Within the first week, the sales team's daily admin time was cut in half. By the next peak gifting period, Chocomize handled record inquiry volume with the same headcount — and Q4 went from being the team's most stressful quarter to its most predictable.
"During our last Q4 peak we handled more inquiries than ever — and the team was less stressed than ever. The system just works."
Chocomize is one example, but the operational pattern is universal. Anywhere you have custom apparel, branded merchandise, wholesale beverage, premium packaging, B2B SaaS with sales-assisted onboarding — anywhere inbound inquiries are complex enough to need a thoughtful reply, but repetitive enough that humans shouldn't be composing every one from scratch.
The expensive failure mode is the same in every case: leads sit. Replies slip. Quality drifts. The team feels behind. And the only "fix" anyone has historically proposed is hiring more reps — which is slow, expensive, and doesn't actually solve the underlying workflow problem.
AI doesn't replace the rep here. It clears the runway in front of them. The rep still owns judgment and tone. But the lookup, the draft, and the CRM entry — the parts that eat hours and add zero strategic value — are gone.
Every Shopify form submission triggers the workflow instantly via webhook — no polling, no manual handoff, no delays.
Relevant product specs, branding options, MOQ thresholds, and pricing tiers are retrieved automatically and injected into the prompt so the draft is grounded — not hallucinated.
A personalised, on-brand response is drafted for each inquiry — bulk order, branding question, delivery timeline, or general product enquiry.
Every inquiry creates a fully populated CRM lead — customer message, retrieved product context, and the AI draft attached — before a rep ever opens it.
Reps review and approve before sending. Full editorial control — without doing any of the upstream legwork.
The pipeline scales to any volume with no degradation. 10 inquiries a day or 1,000 — same 15-minute response window.
If you're losing inbound leads to slow replies, inconsistent messaging, or admin drag — we'll map your highest-leverage automation opportunity in a working session, and guarantee at least 17 hours/week of recoverable time across your team. Or it's on us.
