AI Assistant on LINE for Distributor Counter and Telesales Teams

In short

The Phak AI counter and telesales assistant on LINE helps sales teams who handle calls and chats from shops all day. Staff ask in their team LINE group and get the matching part number, the catalog page, and interchangeable items. It starts with internal teams, with a senior staffer validating answers, before it extends to shops and dealers.

Question

A shop asks which front wheel bearing fits a 2015 Model X. Is there another brand that replaces it?

Phak AI

The matching code is BRG-1234 from Brand A. The cross-reference table lists Brand B code B-5678 as a replacement.

Source: Brand A catalog, page 12 · Bearing cross-reference table
Staff reviewed and sent

Checked and correct. Go ahead and tell the shop.

Telesales asks mid-call, gets the right code with its source, and a senior checks it

Where counter and telesales work gets stuck

Calls and chats at the same time

Shops call and message on LINE at once. Most questions repeat: in stock? fits this model?

Opening several PDFs mid-call

While the customer waits, staff search catalogs from several brands plus price and stock files.

Turning to ask a senior

Old models and replacements wait until a senior staffer is free, which interrupts their work too.

Different people, different answers

Shifts and branches use different file versions, so shops get inconsistent answers.

How the LINE assistant for counter teams works

Start in the team LINE group you already use. No new software to install.

Connected to the catalog library

The assistant answers from catalogs, cross-reference tables, and price and stock files loaded into the central knowledge base.

Staff ask while they work

Counter or telesales staff type a short question the way the customer said it, and get an answer with its source in the same chat.

Seniors check when needed

A senior staffer validates answers, and out-of-scope questions are handed to a person.

Extend to shops and dealers

Extend to LINE OA so shops can ask product questions themselves. Stock answers come from the files or systems your organization connects.

A day for the counter team with the LINE assistant

New counter staffer

A shop asks about an old model he has never seen. He asks the assistant, gets the code with its catalog page, and has a senior check before replying.

Telesales

Mid-call, she asks whether the requested code is out of stock and which brand can replace it, and has the answer before hanging up.

Field sales

At a shop upcountry, he asks on LINE how the new model's specs compare with the old one and explains it on the spot.

Questions counter and telesales staff can ask

This code is out of stock. Which brand in stock can replace it?
The shop only gave a trade name. Which catalog code does it mean?
How long is the warranty on this model, and what are the conditions?
Is this item sold as a set or individually?
How does the new model differ from the old one, per the datasheet?

Scope of the counter and telesales assistant on LINE

What Phak AI does

  • Phak AI helps sales staff answer part numbers and replacements, with sources cited
  • Phak AI works in team LINE groups, LINE OA, and on the web
  • Phak AI hands uncertain questions to a senior staffer
  • Phak AI logs every question to show which knowledge is missing

What it does not do

  • Does not talk to shops in place of the sales team from day one. It starts with internal teams
  • Does not take orders or enter them into the ERP without a person checking
  • Does not answer beyond the information your organization approved in the library

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a new LINE OA?

No. Start in your existing team LINE group. When you are ready for shops or dealers to ask directly, extend to your organization's LINE OA. See the LINE assistant for details.

If the assistant is wrong, will shops get wrong information?

You can set the assistant to answer internal staff only, not shops directly. Your team decides before replying to customers, and every answer cites its source so it can be checked.

Can new hires use it instead of asking seniors?

It reduces repeat questions, and a senior staffer validates answers. Questions the assistant cannot answer are handed off and used to fill the library.
