Furniture retailer DFS deploys CM.com artificial intelligence powered chatbot technology

DFS has partnered with CM.com.   

The multi-year deal sees the retailer integrate CM.com’s Sofia conversational AI chatbot technology into its existing platform to help automate customer conversations.

Using product features including dialogues, intent and a Q&A database, Sofia supports customers to get to the right information they need more easily – such as Where’s My Order (WISMO) requests, delivery status updates, and product information.

James Matthews, UK & Ireland Country Manager at CM.com, says: “We’re very pleased to be supporting DFS in their ambitions to enhance and improve the customer experience.”

“DFS is a business that embraces technology, as we’ve seen from the beginning of our journey together, and I look forward to seeing the further value and benefit to gain from leveraging AI technology.”

”Through our combined vision and expertise, we can deliver a superior experience, which supports business growth and truly puts the customer first.” 

Sam Windridge, Head of Commercial Development at CM.com, comments:: “DFS is a household name that cares deeply about continually improving the customer experience by taking a creative, technology first approach.”

“CM.com’s AI chatbot technology has revolutionised the online customer experience for several leading global companies, and we’re now very proud to support DFS’ ongoing ambitions and success with quick, tangible improvements for both their employees and customers alike, helping to foster strong relationships.”

Kai Bentley, Technology Business Partner at DFS, says: “We’re always looking at how we can continue to deliver standout customer service and recognise the need to take a fresh approach to provide consumers with an agile, fast, and smooth online experience.”

“We were impressed by CM.com’s hands-on approach to identifying the best solution for DFS, as well as the strength and agility of their chatbot technology and ease of use for both employees and customers.”

“The ability to make regular updates and improvements based on customer queries will ensure that we are continually enhancing the service we’re providing, supporting long-term business growth.”
