MOSS elevates multi-channel service standards with Filum.ai

Starting in 2017 with just a single shop, MOSS quickly evolved into a retail system favored by young people throughout Vietnam. With more than 20 locations spanning Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Can Tho, and Lam Dong, MOSS is not only a favorite destination for discovering accessories, cosmetics, gifts, and stationery, but also builds a close-knit brand identity: every customer, whether online or offline, gets to experience the creativity, youthfulness, and thoughtfulness unique to Mossians.

Given the emotional nature of its product categories, MOSS prioritizes personalization - every product sold, every customer visit must bring joy and understanding. In the world of accessories, especially gifts, fashion, and stationery, customer experience through speed, personalized service, and friendly responses is the most effective way to earn loyalty, more so than the product itself. MOSS thrives on the belief that “Service and the shopping experience are the keys to lasting differentiation,” as a representative shared.

Before 2025, MOSS staff responded to every message on Instagram and Meta Business Suite directly, without a unified management system. “During new product launches or post-Tet promotions, the influx of messages would overwhelm staff, and sometimes important customer inquiries were missed. Just a single missed message could mean losing a loyal customer to another shop,” a MOSS representative shared.

Sometimes, just a short delay was enough for customers to change their mind or switch to a competitor. Inconsistent responses between shifts, overlooked questions about products, locations, or returns, all disrupted the customer journey. According to iPrice Group (2024), more than 50% of young customers would leave a brand if ignored or if responses took more than 3 minutes. Especially in lifestyle and accessories, where multichannel shopping is common, "seamless and instant" experiences are now the new standard for satisfaction.

As store networks grew to 20 locations, MOSS realized manual chat could never keep pace with their expanding scale, especially with constantly changing product lines and increasingly diverse customer questions. Leadership decided to invest in customer experience management by partnering with Filum.ai to deploy AI Agent and a multi-channel Inbox AI system. The main goal was to reduce customer response times, ensure no conversation was missed, and free up staff to focus on valuable, high-touch interactions. This stays true to the standard of "MOSS always connects with customers emotionally."

“We want our staff to focus on tough, emotional conversations instead of handling hundreds of repetitive questions every day. That’s why MOSS chose Filum AI,” a MOSS representative emphasized.

In mid-March 2025, MOSS officially kicked off the project with Filum.ai. In the first phase, Filum.ai organized training, standardized conversation processes, and built a knowledge base (FAQs, store data, shopping guides, return policies, etc.). The AI Agent system was integrated with MOSS’s existing sales software and data repositories, continuously tested and fine-tuned to deliver natural, brand-aligned responses.

Staff were able to practice, give feedback, and suggest interface improvements, making it easy for everyone to adapt to the new technology. “The team felt an immediate lightening of the workload. Basic queries such as store hours, locations, order statuses are now answered instantly by AI, and there’s no more risk of customers waiting too long and quietly leaving,” shared Chau from the project team.

After nearly a month, MOSS officially went 'live' with the AI Agent on their main chat channels. Now, frequently asked questions such as store hours, addresses, online shopping processes, initial complaints are automatically recognized and answered by AI. The AI also detects dissatisfied customers and escalates them quickly to experienced staff, minimizing wait times, especially for frustrated customers.

A key benefit: MOSS’s AI runs 24/7, independent of staff shifts. When a customer does not reply for 48 hours, the AI auto-closes the conversation to eliminate “phantom tickets” and keep management reports streamlined.

Since adopting Filum AI Agent, MOSS has seen improvements in both speed and efficiency:

• All chat channels are now managed in a single interface. Staff no longer jump between platforms, and no conversation is missed, whether from Instagram or Facebook.

• The proportion of conversations handled automatically has risen significantly. Most repetitive queries are answered consistently and accurately. Staff experience much less pressure and can focus on loyal customers, special complaints, or specialized upsell activities.

• Response times for common questions have dropped to just seconds, rather than waiting for staff to become available or shifts to change. Replies are clear, consistent, and always on-brand, letting customers feel professionalism with both AI and human agents.

• The operations team has seen a “release of energy”—reduced stress, fewer missed conversations, and improved productivity for everyone. This provides leadership the bandwidth to strategize for VIP customer groups, develop aftersales services, and keep optimizing products.

Looking ahead, MOSS plans to expand the range of tasks their AI Agent can handle. Complex data like inventory, SKU details, and pricing - which are always evolving with new trends - will be synced to the AI, reducing the need for staff retraining with each new collection or product launch and ensuring consistent service quality at every touchpoint. "In retail, with SKUs and models always shifting, AI helps us keep product knowledge current and lightens the training load. Real-time feedback from all platforms becomes invaluable data for shaping future products and services,” shared a MOSS representative.

MOSS also aims for AI Agent to manage more order-related requests: checking order status, handling returns and exchanges, supporting add-on or merged orders - all quickly, accurately, and automatically. Some backend systems at MOSS posed initial technical integration delays with Filum.ai, but both teams are prioritizing optimization to unleash the full power of AI for fast-moving, multi-product retail.

Leadership believes Filum.ai’s AI Agent lays the foundation for MOSS to operate efficiently at scale and to build a modern customer care culture - proactive, creative, empathetic, and engaging. The results so far have led MOSS to advise other retailers: Invest in AI Agent solutions early, not just when overwhelmed. The right transformation gives you a lasting competitive edge in the race for talent and for building a strong brand with next-generation customers.
