Omnichannel Sales Platforms
A customer starts shopping on the phone during breakfast, swings by the store at lunch, and finishes the purchase on their laptop at night. These systems keep track of it all and ensure the customer journey is seamless while leveraging CRM systems for personalized UX.

Personalized Marketing Systems
It's cool how these systems remember that the user always buys winter boots in September and loves red sneakers. Machine learning enables them to analyze customer habits and send personalized deals at the perfect moment.

Digital Inventory Management Systems
Gone are the days of the stockroom guy counting boxes by hand. Modern inventory systems track every single item in real time. They already know, thanks to cloud computing solutions that provide centralized access to inventory data across all channels.
04
Big Data Analytics for Demand Forecasting
These intelligent systems crunch mountains of data using predictive analytics to forecast what customers will want next. They'll tell you to stock up on umbrellas three weeks before a rainy season hits or order more ice cream when a heatwave is coming.
05
Smart Store Technologies
They include digital price tags, smart shelves, self-checkout systems, and IoT sensors that automate store operations. Retail analytics provides real-time insights into store performance, and payment solutions offer seamless checkout experiences.

Customer Service Automation
When customers need help, these systems jump in with chat support, emails, and digital assistance that works around the clock. Thousands of helpful store clerks never sleep and remember every conversation they've had with customers.

Improving Chatbot Builder with AI Agents
A leading chatbot-building solution in Brazil needed to enhance its UI and operational efficiency to stay ahead of the curve. Dataforest significantly improved the usability of the chatbot builder by implementing an intuitive "drag-and-drop" interface, making it accessible to non-technical users. We developed a feature that allows the upload of business-specific data to create chatbots tailored to unique business needs. Additionally, we integrated an AI co-pilot, crafted AI agents, and efficient LLM architecture for various pre-configured bots. As a result, chatbots are easy to create, and they deliver fast, automated, intelligent responses, enhancing customer interactions across platforms like WhatsApp.
