The Problem
After-hours visitors get no engagement
Half of website traffic comes evenings and weekends. Without 24/7 chat, those visitors disappear.
Lost leads, lost tours
Generic chatbots cannot qualify or book
Most chatbots answer FAQs but cannot qualify prospects, book tours, or create guest cards.
Chat without conversion, frustrated visitors
No multi-channel handoff
Visitors who start in chat often want to switch to SMS or voice — most chatbots cannot bridge channels.
Lost conversion, fragmented experience
