The challenge.

Three web shops: hardhoutdiscount.nl, hartholzdiscount.de and hardwooddiscount.co.uk.
Hundreds of conversations a day.

Hundreds of conversations a day.

From three web shops and in three languages. Each about their own order.

Wood from all over the world.

Buyer Tom Wegter needs to be able to read along from anywhere. The office was tied to one place.

What was in the box?

Was something wrong with the delivery? Then the searching began. Often something was sent out again just to be safe.

Every conversation with the order. In one place.

Calls and WhatsApp on the numbers of the web shops.
Connected to the web shop and the phone system.
Calm in the office. Reachable and organised.

01 Calculation in WhatsApp

The customer makes a price calculation on the site and receives it directly in WhatsApp. Three days later, one message follows: “Do you have any questions about your calculation, Mark? Our team is happy to help.”

02 Everything with the order

Every conversation is attached to the order. Whoever picks it up sees straight away what is going on. Buyer Tom too, wherever he is.

03 Photos from the warehouse

The warehouse sends “Order 10482” on WhatsApp, followed by the photos. They are attached to the order straight away. Afterwards, you can always see what went out of the door.

04 Outside opening hours

Does a customer call when the business is closed? Then they receive a WhatsApp. No reply? Then this follows when the business opens: “We are available again and our team is ready for you.”

More orders.
Less resending.

Measured during the pilot, within six months.

From 4% to 37%.

Conversion on price calculations. Thanks to one question after three days.

20% less resending.

Every order has photos. Nobody has to guess what was sent.

“We serve thousands of customers. Without central control, that would be impossible. RippleCom scales with us.”

Hardhout Discount sells hardwood for the garden, such as decking, fencing and gates. It does so through three web shops: hardhoutdiscount.nl, hartholzdiscount.de and hardwooddiscount.co.uk. The company is active in eleven countries.

300% more satisfaction and engagement within six months. Conversion on price calculations from 4% to 37%. 20% fewer parts resent. Hardhout Discount was RippleCom’s very first pilot.

The customer makes a price calculation on the site and receives it directly in WhatsApp. Three days later, the team asks whether there are any questions. That is how conversion on price calculations rose from 4% to 37%.

An employee sends the order number on WhatsApp to the company number, followed by the photos. RippleCom attaches them to the order straight away. Is there a question about the delivery later? Then you can see immediately what was sent. That saves 20% on parts being resent.

To Hardhout Discount’s own web shop and to the Speakup phone system. Calls and WhatsApp come in on the same number. Two numbers serve three web shops.

The approach suits any web shop that gets many questions about quotes, orders and deliveries. The result differs per company and per set-up.

This is how it works for them.
This is what it delivers.

Real customers. Real results.
