The Problem

Fit and sizing questions kill conversion

Apparel return rates run 25-40% — and fit anxiety means shoppers do not check out without a sizing answer. A 30-minute reply delay loses the sale. Frontdesk answers fit / size / fabric / measurement questions instantly using True Fit, Fit Analytics, 3D Look, or Bold Metrics data.

Lost conversion, high return rate

Style consultation is high-touch and unscalable

Personal stylists and clienteling associates can only handle so many shoppers per day. Frontdesk handles the first round of style consultation — recommending outfits, suggesting accessories, and escalating to a human stylist for VIP / wedding / capsule-wardrobe consultations.

Lost VIP shoppers, hours spent on first-round qualification

Return + exchange volume is brutal

Apparel returns dominate ticket volume. WISMR ("Where is my return?"), exchange-eligibility, and store-credit questions clog the queue. Frontdesk handles 80%+ of return + exchange inquiries from Loop Returns, Returnly, or Happy Returns data — and only escalates real disputes.

High CS cost per order, slow exchange resolution

Instagram and TikTok DMs explode after every drop

Apparel brands drive viral Reels, TikTok Shop hauls, and Instagram Stories — driving thousands of DMs per drop. Frontdesk answers every DM in under 60 seconds with size / color / restock / shipping info.

Lost first-mover conversion, slow social commerce

How Frontdesk Works

Built for retail brands and merchants on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Square, Clover — and every other major commerce platform.
