The retail landscape in Pakistan has long been defined by bustling bazaars and a growing e‑commerce sector that still wrestles with fragmented customer service. Shoppers often find themselves waiting hours for answers, whether they are comparing foam mattresses in a mall or browsing online for the right comfort level.
MoltyFoam has now taken a decisive step forward by unveiling an AI‑driven customer assistance platform that engages buyers from the moment they start considering a product, through checkout, and long after delivery.
Built on natural‑language processing, the system can interpret Urdu, English and regional dialects, instantly answering queries about foam density, warranty terms, or delivery logistics. It also offers personalised product recommendations based on a shopper’s stated preferences, reducing the need for human agents to handle routine questions. The platform integrates with MoltyFoam’s website, mobile app and in‑store kiosks, ensuring a seamless experience across all touchpoints.
In a pilot run across Karachi and Lahore, the AI assistant cut average response times from eight minutes to under thirty seconds and lifted online conversion rates by roughly 12 %. In‑store staff reported fewer interruptions, allowing them to focus on hands‑on assistance rather than repetitive inquiries. MoltyFoam’s chief technology officer said the rollout reflects a broader ambition to embed advanced technology into everyday consumer interactions in Pakistan.
The move places MoltyFoam among a handful of home‑grown companies leveraging cutting‑edge AI to address a market pain point that has hampered growth for many local retailers. By automating routine support, the firm hopes to raise overall customer satisfaction, drive higher sales volumes, and set a benchmark for service standards across the Pakistani consumer‑goods sector.
