Luxury Eyewear Brand AKILA Saves 50+ Hours/Month on Customer Support with Supermoon

Akila Eyewear

Overview

AKILA is a growing modern eyewear Shopify store that struggled to find a customer service management tool that truly met their needs. After testing multiple platforms, they found that existing solutions were either too clunky, lacked key features, or included unnecessary ones that complicated their workflow.

“We’ve tried them all: Gorgias, Front, Richpanel, Tidio, Crisp, Heyday. For us they were clunky to use, lacked sufficient support and included many features that we didn’t need, while at the same time missing critical features that we thought were obvious.”

That’s when they discovered Supermoon—a game-changer for their support operations.

Challenge: Managing High Volumes of Customer Inquiries Efficiently

As AKILA expanded its retail presence and global distribution, the volume of customer inquiries—particularly related to shipping, returns, and exchanges—increased significantly. The team faced several challenges with their previous customer support tools:

  • Complex Interfaces: Previous platforms had clunky interfaces and onboarding processes that slowed down workflows.
  • Poor Email Integration: Lack of seamless email integration disrupted communication processes.
  • Inefficient Support: Other platforms offered poor support and slow response times.
  • Manual Responses: Time-consuming manual responses consumed valuable hours each week.

These issues hindered AKILA’s ability to maintain high-quality customer service while scaling operations.

Solution: Streamlining Support with Supermoon’s AI-Powered Help Desk

Seeking a more efficient solution, AKILA turned to Supermoon, an intuitive, AI-powered help desk designed for modern e-commerce businesses. Here’s what made the difference:

  • Effortless Setup: The team integrated Supermoon with Gmail in minutes, ensuring a seamless experience where their emails mirrored perfectly.
  • Clean, Shopify-Friendly Design: Unlike previous platforms, Supermoon’s interface felt natural and easy to navigate. The tool made it simple to track conversations and collaborate internally.
  • AI-Powered Chatbot & Responses: Initially skeptical about using AI-generated replies, the team quickly realized how much time they saved by heavily relying on Supermoon’s AI chatbot to handle customer inquiries. The AI has been especially effective in addressing common concerns related to returns, exchanges, order and shipping issues, and product inquiries—allowing the team to focus on more complex customer needs.
  • Exceptional Customer Support: Supermoon’s team actively listened to feedback and quickly implemented improvements, enhancing the overall user experience.
“The AI-generated responses were a pleasant surprise. We didn’t expect to use them as much as we do, but its a great way to save some time and get a response started. We’re looking forward to building out this customization to save us even more time.”
