Multi-Branch Retail
AI for Multi-Branch Retail and Phone Shops That Offer Installments
Phak AI helps multi-branch retail and phone shops that sell through social media and close sales in chat. It answers repeat questions on price, installment terms, and required documents from data the shop has approved. Owners ask about aging stock across branches in Thai, and every branch answers customers the same way from one knowledge base.

Problems multi-branch retailers face often
Repeat chat questions eat the whole day
Price, installment terms, and required documents are asked again every day, and chats are dropped when staff are busy.
Stock is stuck and prices fall every day
Items that sit for a long time lose value steadily, but you have to hunt through Excel files from several branches to see them.
Knowledge lives in the owner's head
Each branch answers differently. Every new branch feels like it needs a clone of the owner.
Customer data is scattered across chats
The shop has no customer base of its own, and following up on installments or appointments is still done by hand.
How AI helps a retail business
Every answer cites your organization's source documents. AI drafts, people decide.
No dropped chats, answers after hours
The LINE assistant answers installment terms and document checklists from tables the shop approves, then hands over to branch staff. A LINE OA must be set up.

Read more →Start using Phak AI in 3 steps
The shop opens its own channels. The Phak AI team helps gather data, set up, and launch assistants for every branch.
Share your needs and gather data
The shop opens a LINE OA and a Google Business Profile for every branch, then gathers the installment tables, document checklists, and stock Excel files it really uses.
Set up and assign permissions
Phak AI is installed on the shop's own dedicated server, connected to existing files and channels, with permissions set for what each branch can see.
Go live at every branch, then add apps one by one
Launch the chat assistant, Thai stock questions, and the shared knowledge base, then add the next app, such as installment reminders, winning back past customers, and trade-ins.
Sample questions your team can ask
What we measure in retail
Metrics are agreed at the start and measured with your organization's own numbers, before and after.
- Number of items sitting for more than 60 days
- Time spent finding stock information
- Time to first chat reply
- Share of chats the assistant answers on its own
- Number of questions staff must ask the owner
- Time to train new staff
A day with Phak AI
Messages on LINE about installment terms for a new model. The assistant answers from the shop-approved table, asks for the required documents, and passes the chat to the nearest branch's staff the next morning.
On Monday morning asks which models have sat for more than 60 days, gets the list at once, and decides on a clearance promotion.
Asks about the return policy from the knowledge base instead of calling the owner.

Frequently asked questions
Will AI chat for a phone shop get installment terms wrong?
The assistant answers only from installment tables and checklists the shop approves. If a question is outside that data or it is not sure, it hands over to staff instead of guessing.
Do we need a LINE OA first?
If you want the assistant to answer customers in chat, the shop must set up a LINE OA first. Internal uses, such as asking about stock or shop rules, can start right away.
Can Phak AI approve installments or check a customer's credit?
No. Phak AI helps answer questions and prepare documents. Approval decisions remain with the shop or the installment provider, as before.
We have many branches and several legal entities. Can data be combined?
Yes, at the file level. For example, bring in the stock Excel files from each branch or legal entity and ask across them together in Thai.
