Your offer by voice message
You say into your phone «From today pumpkins, no more courgettes». The website is right, and it answers correctly from then on.
Business Assistant for farm shops
An employee for your farm shop. It sells while you are out in the field.
What is on today, orders, the veg box: by voice message from the field.
Index Group AG sets up the Business Assistant for farm shops: an employee that works on your website, around the clock. You run it by WhatsApp.
Where we work: Zurich and all of German-speaking Switzerland
You know this
- What you have this week changes with the weather.
- The website still shows June's strawberries, and someone phones about eggs while you are on the tractor.
- An online shop would help, but nobody has time to keep it up to date.
What the Business Assistant does for you
Order and pick up
Customers order eggs, vegetables or meat online, paid at once with TWINT if you like, and pick up at the agreed time.
Questions about the farm and markets
When is the farm shop open, which market are you at on Saturday, is it organic? It answers, also on Sunday evening.
