Renow Outlet is a Finnish online retailer redefining how consumers shop sustainably. The brand offers a curated collection of quality-verified pre-owned products. All carefully inspected to ensure buyers know exactly what they’re getting.
Their mission goes beyond affordability: Renow is committed to minimising waste and extending product lifecycles, making ecommerce accessible and convenient for everyone. With a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating, Renow Outlet has become one of Finland’s most trusted online destinations for sustainable shopping.
As the business grew, Renow sought to improve digital engagement, support customers more efficiently, and create a seamless online experience that reflects its commitment to transparency and trust.
The Challenge
With an expanding catalogue and rising website traffic, Renow Outlet’s support team faced increasing volumes of customer queries about:
- Product conditions and quality verification
- Warranty information
- Delivery times and return policies
- Availability of specific items
- Promotions and price differences
While their website already offered detailed product information, many shoppers still sought personal reassurance before purchasing, especially when buying pre-owned or returned items. Renow needed a scalable, friendly, and efficient way to provide real-time support without compromising the personal touch that defines their brand.
The Clevertar Solution
Renow partnered with Clevertar to deploy an AI-powered virtual shopping assistant “Renow Chat” designed to help customers confidently navigate the store and make informed purchase decisions.
The agent was launched as a homepage pop-up chatbot, featuring Renow’s own mascot for a cohesive, brand-aligned experience. The assistant answered questions about products and delivery, and guided them to relevant pages, creating an engaging and supportive shopping journey.
This conversational layer helped bridge the gap between human interaction and digital convenience, giving customers instant answers while freeing Renow’s team to focus on higher-value tasks.
