Indian SaaS based e-commerce platform Unicommerce on Thursday announced its strategic partnership with Yellow.ai, a cognitive engagement cloud platform, to help fast-moving consumer goods and consumer packaged goods brands manage their retail operation efficiently.

The direct order through WhatsApp chatbots will help consumers save time and the centralized platform will help companies to streamline their operations and deliver products efficiently, thereby improving the overall e-commerce experience of end customers.This collaboration will empower brands and retailers to develop a direct relationship with consumers and manage business operations across multiple sales channels on a single dashboard. The Unicommerce dashboard allows brands and retailers to check inventory levels, orders, shipping status, sales, and every other aspect on a single platform.
Speaking on the partnership, Kapil Makhija, chief executive officer (CEO), Unicommerce, said “At Unicommmerce, we are always working towards simplifying e-commerce selling for retailers and ecommerce players. Our partnership with Yellow.ai will further solidify our commitment in this direction. With this collaboration, we aim to help retail brands to provide enhanced online shopping experience on social media and enable retailers with a centralized platform to view and manage their inventory and orders efficiently. Yellow.ai is one of the finest conversation AI platforms in the industry and we are glad to have them as our partner.

“The future state of digital commerce will necessitate supporting so many channels that it will be impractical and likely impossible to dedicate individual teams to each one. And that is where, a new age, yet proven technology like conversational commerce can become a tactic and strategy both, to enable digital commerce over the long run, all from a single platform. We’re proud to partner with Unicommerce in delivering an end-to-end D2C on WhatsApp solution for their clients,” said Raghu Ravinutala, CEO and co-founder, Yellow.ai.
