Shoppers miss the sale entirely
Email lands in promotions tab. SMS blast goes out — but shoppers reply with questions Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Mailchimp, Yotpo SMS, and Omnisend cannot answer. By the time someone replies, the sale is over.
Frontdesk fires personalized flash sale announcements across outbound AI voice, SMS, MMS, email, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and TikTok DM — coordinated with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square, and Clover, with live order capture in conversation so shoppers buy before the sale ends.

The Problem
Email lands in promotions tab. SMS blast goes out — but shoppers reply with questions Klaviyo, Attentive, Postscript, Mailchimp, Yotpo SMS, and Omnisend cannot answer. By the time someone replies, the sale is over.
Hot SKUs sell out in 5 minutes. Cold SKUs sit. Without live inventory awareness across Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square POS, and Clover, you cannot re-target shoppers to in-stock alternatives in real time.
The hour after a flash sale, Gorgias and Zendesk get hammered. "Did my order go through?" "Why is my shipping $15?" Floor staff at Square, Clover, and Lightspeed stores get pulled off the floor to answer the phone.
Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, TikTok Shop, and Instagram Shopping all need coordinated announcements. Without two-way conversational AI, marketplace shoppers wait minutes for a response and buy elsewhere.
How Frontdesk Works
