Aila: AI receptionist for retail and e-commerce

Staff the shop floor,
not the phones.

A shopper ringing to check stock, track an order or ask about a return won’t wait on hold – they’ll try the shop next door. Aila answers straight away, checks your stock and order systems, and gives every caller an accurate answer, so your team isn’t stuck on the phone.

Security & privacy

Nothing hidden.

What Aila delivers

What an AI receptionist can do for your store.

Shoppers who get an answer, not a queue

Every stock, order or returns question dealt with accurately.

One true answer, in store or on the phone

Stock, orders and policy come from the systems your staff already use.

Shop floor time protected

Every call Aila takes is one your team didn’t step away for.

There’s a queue at the till. The phone won’t stop ringing. Sound familiar?

When the website can’t answer a stock question, the phone becomes the only way to check before visiting.

Aila for retail and e-commerce.

The problem

Stock questions turn into phone calls.

Knows your stock

Connected to your EPOS or stock system, Aila gives an accurate, store-specific answer.

The problem

Returns questions shape the sale.

Gets returns right

Aila reads from your actual returns policy, so the answer matches what happens in store.

The problem

“Is my order ready?” is now a routine call.

Tracks orders

Linked to your order system, Aila confirms whether a click-and-collect order is ready.

The problem

Every unresolved call has a cost.

Frees the shop floor

Routine calls stop landing on shop floor staff, so they can serve the customers in front of them.

Your calls, taken seriously

Built for multi-channel retailers.

Customer data, loyalty accounts and payment details don’t stop mattering at the till.
Aila is built with the same care you already apply.

Compliance and data handling

  • UK-hosted, with data encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Calls logged and retained, ready for a complaint or product safety issue
  • Payment and loyalty details handled to UK GDPR and PCI DSS standards
  • Conversations are never used to train third-party AI models

Customer and vehicle checks

  • Confirms an order number, loyalty account or your usual checks
  • Refunds, exchanges and payment changes get an extra check
  • If Aila can’t confirm who she’s speaking to, she offers a callback

A person, when it matters

  • Product safety concerns, abusive callers and complaints go straight to a person
  • Whoever picks up already has the order and the context
  • A live transfer in store or at head office, or a clear summary

We’ll map Aila against your stock, order and returns journeys, and the goals that matter to your stores.
