The Solution

Björns Åkeri used to answer the phone around the clock, as they have always prioritised being as available as possible. With Weply, they added an additional channel where customers can get in touch, and many have appreciated it. Customers are often surprised that they can communicate with a real person after office hours, and that someone actually looks at their enquiry immediately.

The Result

Björns Åkeri can clearly feel the impact of having a 24/7 managed conversation on their website. They have an external agent actively responding to enquiries, so they can deliver this service without using internal resources. This has generated more sales for the business and freed up time for their core work.

Björns Åkeri now offers personal service around the clock through a new channel, without relying on internal staff. They have more time for their jobs, as more customer enquiries are handled directly on the website. Nearly half of all conversations managed by Weply generate warm, qualified leads.
