AI Customer Service Agent for Orders

Give customers an easy way to place orders, check status, make changes, request replacements, and handle returns — all through a conversational AI customer service agent.

Ferdinand acts as an AI Customer Service Agent that manages the entire order lifecycle, from guided order placement to post-purchase support, automatically across every channel.

No long hold times. No repetitive tickets. No handoffs just to complete simple order requests.

Just fast, accurate order support — handled conversationally.

What the AI Handles for Orders

✔ Guided Order Placement

Customers can place orders directly through conversation.

Ferdinand can:

• Help customers select products, services, or equipment

• Confirm availability and eligibility

• Collect required details (configuration, quantity, address, account info)

• Apply pricing or order rules (when connected)

• Confirm order details before submission

• Complete the order placement workflow

This applies to physical products, devices, equipment, services, or supplies — depending on your business.

✔ Order Confirmation & Next Steps

Once an order is placed, Ferdinand automatically:

• Confirms the order

• Shares order numbers or references

• Explains fulfillment, shipping, or installation timelines

• Sets expectations for what happens next

Customers leave the interaction knowing exactly where they stand.

✔ Order Status & Tracking Requests

Customers frequently ask:

Ferdinand verifies the customer, looks up order details, and provides real-time status updates — including shipment progress, delays, or fulfillment milestones.

✔ Order Changes & Modifications

When policies allow, Ferdinand can help customers:

• Update delivery addresses

• Modify quantities or configurations

• Cancel orders before fulfillment

• Confirm whether changes are still possible

All changes follow your business rules automatically.

✔ Replacements, Exchanges & Corrections

For orders that need adjustment, Ferdinand can:

• Initiate replacement requests

• Handle exchanges (size, model, configuration)

• Correct incorrect or damaged orders

• Explain timelines and next steps

This is especially valuable for device-, equipment-, and service-based orders.

✔ Returns & Refunds (When Applicable)

If returns are supported, Ferdinand can:

• Check return eligibility

• Confirm return windows

• Capture return reasons

• Generate labels or instructions

• Provide refund or credit status updates

Returns are handled as part of the broader order lifecycle — not a separate experience.

How the AI Works

Ferdinand does not replace your order systems.

The AI:

• Understands customer intent

• Verifies identity

• Applies your order and policy rules

• Triggers approved actions

• Communicates outcomes clearly

Your existing systems remain the source of truth. Ferdinand handles the conversation and task completion.

Ferdinand supports order-related requests across all major channels:

• Website chat

• SMS / text messaging

• Phone (AI voice agent)

• Email auto-responses

• Google Business Messages

• Social messaging

Customers can place and manage orders wherever they already reach out.
