Retail & E-commerceCX & merchandising teams

Every customer conversation, turned into retail signals

Support chats, return notes, and store calls carry the truth about your products and your service. Semarize reads those conversations across every channel and returns structured, SKU-level fields your CX, merchandising, and lifecycle teams can act on.

The problem

Your customers tell you everything, and almost none of it gets recorded

Shoppers talk to you across chat, email, phone, and the store, and they explain exactly what is wrong and what they want. The signal lands as free text, disposition codes, and gut feel. Across a busy omnichannel operation it never adds up to something product or CX can query, and the patterns that matter get buried under volume.

Returns reasons stay as free text

A return code says nothing about why the jacket came back. The real reason sits in a sentence the customer typed, unread and unstructured, so merchandising never sees the SKU-level pattern.

Quality slips exactly at peak

Service is easy in January and hard in December, which is when manual QA sampling falls furthest behind. The interactions you most need to check are the ones nobody reviews.

Save and upsell moments pass by

A cancellation chat is also a save, and a sizing question is also an upsell, but only if someone catches it live. Most of these moments are gone before the monthly report is written.

Channels never speak the same language

Chat, phone, email, and store conversations each get logged differently. With no shared schema, you cannot compare experience or product feedback across the channels a single customer actually uses.

Retail examples

Customer conversations, across every channel

Run the same Kit across support, chat, email, and store conversations, then send the structured fields to the systems your retail teams already work in.

01 / Product insight

Turn returns and complaints into product fixes

Customers explain exactly what went wrong - sizing, quality, delivery, the listing - in their own words. Semarize turns those returns and support conversations into structured, SKU-level fields, so merchandising and product see the patterns instead of a pile of free-text reasons.

02 / Service quality

Hold service quality through peak volume

Quality is easy in January and hard in December, exactly when sampling falls behind. Semarize scores resolution, policy adherence, and empathy on every interaction across the spike, by channel, so CX leaders can see where peak pressure is breaking the experience.

03 / Lifecycle

Catch the save and upsell moments in live chats

A cancellation chat or a sizing question is also a save or an upsell, if anyone catches it. Semarize spots loyalty signals, save-offer outcomes, and upsell acceptance as they happen, so lifecycle and commerce teams can act on the moment instead of the monthly report.

How it works

How Semarize turns retail conversations into structured signals

Connect the chats, calls, emails, and tickets you already capture. A reusable Kit evaluates the retail signals that matter and returns typed fields ready for merchandising, CX, and lifecycle systems.

  1. Step 1

    Conversation captured

    Support chats, calls, emails, return notes, and store transcripts are sent through the API.

  2. Step 2

    Retail CX Kit runs

    Bricks evaluate product, service-quality, and lifecycle signals against your policies and SKUs.

  3. Step 3

    Signals extracted

    Return reasons, quality scores, save outcomes, and upsell flags come back in the same schema each run.

  4. Step 4

    Evidence attached

    Each important field carries quote-level evidence and confidence, grounded in the conversation it came from.

  5. Step 5

    Systems updated

    Typed fields feed merchandising dashboards, CX QA, the warehouse, and lifecycle automation.

Example Bricks

The retail signals Semarize returns

Each Brick evaluates one field, score, flag, or extracted value with confidence and evidence. Bundle Bricks into reusable Kits for product insight, service quality, and lifecycle work, and ground them in your own catalogue and policies with Knowledge grounding.

Product insight

return_reason
category

Classify why an item came back, in the customer's own terms.

"runs small"
sku_mentioned
category

Pull the product or SKU the conversation is actually about.

"JKT-204"
quality_issue
boolean

Flag when the customer reports a fault, defect, or build problem.

true

Service quality

resolution_quality
score

Score how well the agent resolved the customer's issue, 0 to 100.

82
policy_followed
boolean

Check the agent applied the right returns or refund policy.

true
empathy_score
score

Rate the tone and acknowledgement the customer received.

Lifecycle

cancellation_intent
boolean

Detect when a customer signals they want to cancel or churn.

true
save_offer_accepted
boolean

Record whether a retention offer was taken on the conversation.

false
upsell_accepted
boolean

Capture when the customer accepts a size, bundle, or add-on.

true

Example output

Structured signals, not summaries

The same schema comes back every run: typed values, confidence, and evidence spans tied to the conversation they came from. One chat becomes fields merchandising, CX, and lifecycle can query side by side.

The difference

Why a summary is not enough for retail

A summary helps someone read one chat after the fact. Merchandising, CX, and lifecycle teams need fields they can query, compare, and route across every conversation, in every channel.

Conversation summaries

Written for a person to read later
Inconsistent across channels and agents
Hard to roll up by SKU, channel, or season
Save and upsell moments lost after the chat ends
Do not update merchandising or lifecycle systems

Structured retail signals

Typed return reasons, scores, and lifecycle flags
Same schema on every run, in every channel
Queryable by SKU, channel, agent, and peak window
Save and upsell outcomes captured as they happen
Ready for merchandising, CX QA, and automation
