Cadbury (Mondelez International) WhatsApp Commerce Bot
Gennexa AI deployed an AI-powered WhatsApp Commerce Bot connecting shoppers, retailers, and Cadbury on one intelligent platform, zero app download required.
75% faster order cycle time
Eliminating friction between end consumers and retailers through instant conversational commerce workflows on WhatsApp.
Friction across shoppers, retailers, and manufacturers.
Before the bot, shoppers had to download dedicated retailer e-commerce apps, causing high friction and low conversion. Retailers managed inventory and orders through disconnected manual processes, and Cadbury had no real-time visibility into retailer assortments or shopper demand.
Order confirmations and payment receipts were delayed, leading to shopper drop-off, and there was no centralized analytics to understand brand share, category performance, or household penetration in the e-commerce space.
Core Operational Pain Points
App fatigue
Shoppers unwilling to install yet another retail app just to purchase confectioneries.
Inventory opacity
Manufacturer blind to real-time stock levels at individual retail locations.
Fragmented ordering
No single, cohesive channel handling the flow from initial browse to secure payment.
Zero analytics
Absence of data regarding real-time conversion rates, MDLZ brand share, or new household acquisition.
No targeted outreach
Retailers lacked capabilities to run localized automated campaigns or promotional offers at scale.
