From Bottleneck to Sommelier-Scale

How a boutique wine merchant automated expertise without losing the personal touch.

Manual Customer Engagement & Scalability

The Problem: The "WhatsApp Trap"

Owner Marco's wine business was flourishing, but his phone was a graveyard of unread messages. Every time he spent 10 minutes recommending a Pinot Noir to one customer, five more messages arrived.

The Wall: Marco couldn't hire a 24/7 sales team, but he was losing revenue by not replying fast enough.
The Personal Touch: He didn't want a "dumb" bot. His brand relied on knowing that John likes Chardonnay and Sarah prefers bold Malbecs.

The Solution: EasyClaw Implementation

Marco deployed EasyClaw to bridge the gap between automated efficiency and personal connection.

Step	Action	Result
1. Connection	Linked his business number to EasyClaw via the WhatsApp channel.	Centralized all incoming traffic.
2. Data Feed	Uploaded a CSV customer file containing purchase history and preferences.	The AI now "remembered" every customer.
3. Logic	Set the Bot's persona to "Expert Sommelier" with access to the CSV.	Real-time, data-driven recommendations.

The "Magic" Moment

When a repeat customer messaged the shop, they no longer got a generic "How can I help you?" Instead, the EasyClaw bot analyzed the CSV and responded:

Hello John, hope you enjoyed that last bottle of Chardonnay! We just got a crisp Chablis in that I think hits those same notes you love. Want me to set a bottle aside for you?

The Results: Scaling Without the Stress

By moving his knowledge base into the cloud with EasyClaw, Marco achieved three major wins:

Instant Response Times: Customers received expert wine advice at 10 PM on a Sunday without Marco lifting a finger.
Hyper-Personalization: Because the bot used his actual customer data, the conversion rate stayed high—it felt like Marco was doing the texting.
True Scalability: Marco shifted his focus from "answering FAQs" to "sourcing better wines," while the bot handled the first 80% of the sales funnel.

Key Takeaway

EasyClaw didn't just automate my messages; it duplicated my expertise. I'm finally running the business instead of the business running me. — Marco, Vigne & Vine
