Your team is with a customer. The phone doesn't know that.
Retail staff are busy on the floor, not standing by a phone — and a shopper calling to check stock or ask about an order isn't going to wait on hold. OneConvo answers every call, handles the common questions, and captures anything that needs a follow-up.
A missed call is a sale that walks into a different store
Someone calling to check if an item is in stock has usually already decided to buy it — they're just deciding where. If the call goes unanswered, they call, or walk into, a competitor instead.

What OneConvo doesn't do — on purpose.
No fine print later. Here's the honest scope of what retail get, so there's no surprise after setup.
- OneConvo answers general questions and captures enquiries — it doesn't check live, item-level inventory unless that's specifically connected during setup.
- It doesn't process payments or take orders over the phone; it's built for answering calls and capturing leads, not transactions.
- For a detailed product question it doesn't have an answer to, it takes a message and flags it for your team instead of guessing.
- Like any AI system, it can occasionally mishear a detail — every call is logged with a transcript so you can review and correct it.

What it costs for retail.
A single-location store taking under roughly 200 calls a month usually fits the Starter plan. Multi-location retailers typically need Growth or Pro for higher call volume.
