The "Silent Store" Problem
Customers calling after store hours to check availability of modular sectionals, only to hang up and switch to competitors like Wayfair for same-day delivery options
Peak-season overload during Black Friday prep, where staff misses calls on high-ticket bedroom sets like queen platform beds, losing impulse buys to Amazon's one-click purchasing
Trend-driven shoppers inquiring about new eco-friendly lines like reclaimed wood dining tables at odd hours, but voicemail fails to convert them into online orders
Delivery status questions on large items like sofas flooding in evenings, frustrating customers and eroding trust as they turn to easier options like IKEA's app tracking
Online browsers abandoning carts after unanswered fabric sample queries for upholstery on weekends, opting for direct-to-consumer sites like Article with instant visualizers
Seasonal hiring gaps leaving phones unanswered during summer surges in patio furniture like teak lounge sets, costing prime sales to outdoor specialists like Frontgate

We build AI voice agents tailored to your inventory, showroom schedule, and e-commerce flow.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock 24/7 Sales Potential Without the Overhead
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Your AI agent fields calls instantly, qualifying buyers for that farmhouse dining set by asking about room dimensions and budget, then booking virtual consultations via Zoom. In one case, a mid-sized furniture retailer saw 28% more in-store appointments within two weeks of implementation—imagine turning those late-night queries into walk-ins that close on $1,500+ orders.
Boost Customer Satisfaction During Peaks
Boost Customer Satisfaction During Peaks: During holiday seasons like Black Friday, when your team's swamped with in-store traffic for tree skirts and ornaments, the AI handles online queries on bedroom set assembly for bunk beds or color matches for duvets flawlessly. Customers get quick answers, reducing cart abandonment by up to 40% and driving repeat visits for holiday decor bundles.
Capture Every Opportunity, Season After Season
Capture Every Opportunity, Season After Season: From summer outdoor collections like Adirondack chairs to winter recliner rushes for ergonomic office setups, your agent adapts to trends by cross-selling matching accessories. Brick-and-mortar stores report capturing 15-20 extra qualified leads weekly on average, directly boosting average order value by 18% without seasonal temp hires.
What Clients Say
"We used to lose so many weekend calls about our full-grain leather sofas—shoppers would just head to Ashley Furniture instead. After AIQ Labs set up the voice agent integrated with our inventory system, it's like having an extra salesperson on duty 24/7. In the first month, we booked 12 new custom upholstery orders from after-hours inquiries, and our close rate on those leads jumped from 22% to 37%. Total game-changer for our small boutique team during the fall sales push."
Sarah Mitchell
Owner, Cozy Corners Furniture Boutique
"Handling delivery status questions on sectionals at 9 PM was a total nightmare; customers got frustrated and defected to big-box stores like Rooms To Go with their reliable tracking. The AI agent now pulls real-time updates directly from our logistics partner—it's slashed our complaint calls by half. Last quarter alone, it upsold protective covers to three evening callers, adding $2,500 in unexpected revenue from what would have been lost sales."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Urban Nest Home Interiors
"Our trendy rattan patio collection sells out in days, but inquiries hit at all hours from online browsers. The custom voice AI qualifies leads by checking stock on our Shopify dashboard and suggesting alternatives like wicker accents. We've seen a 25% lift in e-commerce conversions since launch three months ago, especially during the spring outdoor rush—no more missed opportunities on high-margin bundles."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent handle specific furniture inquiries like dimensions or material options?
We train the agent on your exact product data, pulling from your catalog to provide precise details. For instance, if a customer asks about a queen-size bed frame's height, it references your specs and even suggests coordinating nightstands. It's custom-built to mimic your sales team's knowledge, ensuring responses feel personal and accurate. No generic answers here—we integrate directly with your inventory system for up-to-date info, reducing errors and building trust. Over time, it learns from interactions to get even better at handling unique requests like custom upholstery colors.
What happens if the AI can't resolve a customer's question about delivery?
The agent is designed for smooth handoffs. It gathers key details during the call—like order number and issue—then seamlessly transfers to your on-duty staff or schedules a callback. For after-hours, it logs everything in your CRM with a summary, so your team starts the next day fully briefed. In furniture retail, where timing matters for assemblies, this prevents frustration. We've seen stores cut resolution times by 50% because the AI handles 70% of routine queries independently, freeing humans for high-value tasks like closing sales.
Can this work with our existing phone system and e-commerce setup?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations, connecting the voice agent to your current VoIP, Shopify, or even legacy POS without disruptions. For a furniture store, this means syncing call data to update order statuses in real-time or flagging low-stock items during inquiries. Unlike plug-and-play tools, our custom build avoids compatibility headaches. We start with a full audit of your setup, ensuring everything flows like a well-designed showroom layout. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support to keep it humming through updates or expansions.
How much does a custom AI voice agent cost for a mid-sized furniture store?
Costs vary based on your needs, but for a typical setup handling 100-500 calls monthly, expect an initial build of $8,000-$15,000, with minimal ongoing maintenance around $300/month. This includes custom training, integrations, and a dashboard. Compared to hiring a part-time rep at $2,500/month plus benefits, it's a steal—especially since it operates 24/7. We focus on ROI: many clients recoup costs in 2-3 months through captured leads. Let's chat about your volume to give a precise quote tailored to your seasonal fluctuations.
Is the AI voice agent secure for handling customer payment or order details?
Security is non-negotiable in retail. Our agents use encrypted channels and comply with standards like PCI DSS for any sensitive info, though we design them to avoid direct payments—guiding customers to secure portals instead. For furniture orders, it can confirm details without storing cards. We build in audit logs and role-based access, ensuring data stays protected. Drawing from our regulated industry experience, like collections platforms, we make sure your customers feel safe, which is crucial for building loyalty in e-commerce where trust drives repeat buys.
How quickly can we get the AI voice agent up and running?
From consultation to launch, it's usually 4-6 weeks for a custom build. We kick off with a quick discovery session to map your workflows, then prototype the voice interactions. Testing ensures it nails furniture-specific lingo, like distinguishing between tufted and channel designs. Once integrated, we run a soft launch to iron out kinks. For urgent needs, like pre-holiday setup, we can accelerate to 3 weeks. It's faster than training staff and scales instantly—no ramp-up time lost to seasonal hires.
