The Problem

Where shops lose sales between the floor and the phone

When your team is serving a customer in store they cannot answer the phone — and the caller will not wait.

Serving the floor, missing the phone

While staff advise a customer in store, the phone rings unanswered. A caller checking stock or wanting to reserve an item gives up and orders online from someone else instead.

~40% of retail calls go unanswered

Every call interrupts a sale on the floor

Staff break off an in-store conversation to answer the phone. The customer at the counter waits, the caller gets a distracted reply, and both conversations suffer for it.

12–15 phone interruptions a day

Simple questions nobody is free to answer

Opening hours, stock, delivery times, returns — routine questions go unanswered simply because everyone is already with a customer when the phone rings.

~55% of calls are standard questions

Peak times stretch the team thin

Black Friday, the sales and the holidays bring more customers than hands. There is never enough staff for both the till and the phone, so selling time bleeds away into ringing.

Phone handling eats into selling time at peak

The Solution

Stock checks, reservations and.

Stock and availability checks on the call

Customers asking "do you have it in?" get an immediate answer from your stored stock or merchandise system, with alternatives suggested when an item is out — no being put on hold to go and look.

Reservations, click-and-collect and special orders

Products are reserved, collections scheduled and special orders captured in full — all logged and passed to the team to fulfil, so an enquiry becomes a held sale.

Opening hours and store info answered

Holiday hours, late-night openings, directions, parking and click-and-collect questions are answered instantly from your stored information, around the clock.

Returns and after-sales handled

Returns, exchanges and order-status questions are taken with the right detail and routed to the right person, instead of forming a queue at the customer-service counter.

Every line answered at the seasonal peak

Black Friday, the sales and the holidays bring a wall of calls at once; every customer is answered in parallel, with no engaged tone and no missed enquiry.

Answered in the caller's own language

Customers are taken in their own language — useful in tourist areas and for an international shopper base that the floor team cannot always cover.

Open after the shutters come down

Customers get information and reserve out of hours, on Sundays and holidays, so an evening online browser becomes a held item for collection instead of a lost sale.

Built for customer and order data

Calls, transcripts and customer details are processed exclusively on EU servers, GDPR-compliant, with a signed Data Processing Agreement and a retention period you control for order and contact data.

Configured to your store

Assortment, opening hours, locations and promotions are all yours to set — it fits a single shop just as well as a multi-store chain, each with its own stock and hours.

Live in minutes, not months

Load your assortment and hours, point your number at BHOMY, and it starts answering the same day — no complex rollout, no hardware, no IT project.

Which bhomy modules

The right bhomy modules.

While the shop floor is busy the phone keeps ringing — two bhomy modules keep availability questions and reservations on the line.

Daily Routine

From the pre-opening stock check to the after-hours online browser

What really happens to the shop phone across a single trading day.

08:00

A stock check before opening

A customer calls to ask whether an item is in. The assistant checks stock and reserves it for collection — before the doors have even opened for the day.

11:00

A rush on the floor, six calls waiting

While the team advises customers in store, the assistant answers stock, hours and reservation calls in parallel — so nobody waits at the counter or on the line.

14:00

Lunch cover with a thin team

With staff on breaks, the assistant handles every call — a returns query, a delivery question and a special order — so not a single call is lost over the quiet hour.

20:00

After closing, an online browser calls

A customer who saw a product online calls after hours. The assistant confirms availability and holds the item, turning an evening enquiry into a sale waiting to be collected.
