Vendavo cuts lead response time by 90% with Zapier automation and AI chatbot
Manual lead entry caused significant delays — leads could sit unattended in inboxes for hours before a rep responded, effectively killing the opportunity. The existing chatbot was a rigid decision-tree that failed to engage visitors or capture leads effectively.

Outcome
Lead response time improved by 90%, with responses now arriving within minutes. The AI chatbot manages 120 conversations per month and Vendavo scaled operations without adding any new hires.
What failed first
The previous chatbot relied on a rigid decision-tree structure that was too limited to engage website visitors meaningfully or handle lead capture effectively.
