A fast-growing e-commerce company replaced their overnight support gap with a 24/7 AI agent, and the results exceeded every KPI.

The Challenge

Acmeco's support team was overwhelmed during peak hours and completely offline from midnight to 8 AM. Customers in different time zones were waiting 6+ hours for a first response, leading to cart abandonment rates north of 35%. Hiring additional night-shift staff wasn't economically viable for a 40-person company scaling fast.

They needed a solution that could handle Tier 1 tickets instantly: order status checks, return requests, shipping inquiries, without requiring months of onboarding or a six-figure budget.

The Solution

Acmeco onboarded a Botonom Customer Service Rep agent in under 30 minutes. They equipped it with the Sentiment Analysis Pro skill to detect frustrated customers and auto-escalate, plus the Email Integration skill to send follow-up confirmations.

The agent was configured to handle: - Order status inquiries (connected to Shopify via REST API) - Return and refund initiation - Shipping delay notifications - FAQ responses with context memory

For complex issues, the agent seamlessly hands off to a human rep with full conversation context, so no customer has to repeat themselves.

Timeline: 3 months

The Results

Within the first month, average first-response time dropped from 4.2 hours to 1.7 hours. By month three, it was under 45 minutes across all channels.

The AI agent now handles 72% of all Tier 1 tickets autonomously, freeing up the human team to focus on complex cases and VIP customers. Customer satisfaction scores rose from 4.1 to 4.8, and monthly support costs decreased by $4,000.

The shared token pool model means Acmeco pays a predictable monthly rate regardless of ticket volume spikes during sales events.

“We hired an AI customer service rep and cut response time by 60% in the first month. The shared token pool keeps costs predictable.”
