Before AskSpot
A piece of furniture is bought with a tape measure
Nobody buys a wardrobe the way they buy a lamp. The shopper is standing in front of a 134 cm alcove, or a 170 cm wall, and the real question is whether this exact piece will fit — its width and depth, the thickness of the top, what it holds, whether the corner sofa comes left-handed and whether the bed frame includes the mattress. A product page lists the numbers; it can’t do the arithmetic for the space in front of the shopper.
Much of the catalogue makes it harder still, because it is configurable — the side of a corner sofa, the leg colour of a dresser, the firmness of a mattress, the finish across a whole range. Those are choices, not clicks, and every one of them used to end at a product page that couldn’t answer it, or in a message sent at half past ten at night — which is when two thirds of them are asked.

Rollout
How they rolled it out
One module, three jobs, in the order a furniture purchase actually happens: get the measurement right, settle the configuration, then keep the sale when the first pick is out of stock.
Step 01
Catalogue & Dimension Grounding
Answering with the tape measure out
The 35,818-product catalogue was indexed on the numbers that decide a furniture purchase — width, depth and height, top thickness, load capacity, the fold-out sleep size — so the agent can turn “my alcove is 134 cm” into a specific unit rather than a category page.
What shoppers ask
- I need a hallway unit for a 134 cm alcove
- What are the dimensions of this desk, and how thick is the top?
- How does the Atela shelf differ from the Atela 4X?
Step 02
Configuration & Variants
Side, colour and finish, taken in chat
The configurable options were given their own rules — the left- or right-hand build of a corner sofa, the leg colour of a dresser, mattress firmness, matching a finish across a range — so the agent confirms the exact variant and adds that one to the cart, not the default.
What shoppers ask
- Is the Ravenix corner sofa available left-facing?
- Can I choose a different leg colour for the Herla dresser?
- Can I buy the dresser on its own, without the wardrobe?
Step 03
Stock, Delivery & the Second Choice
Keeping the sale when the first pick is out
Live stock and delivery were wired in, so “in black?” on an out-of-stock desk becomes a restock alert plus an in-stock alternative in the same colour, and “when does it arrive?” returns a real dispatch date and the premium-courier option rather than a shipping table.
What shoppers ask
- Is this desk available in black?
- If I order today, when does it arrive?
- What’s the difference with the premium courier?
From real conversations
What Edinos shoppers actually ask
Almost everything asked is one shopper doing one job: is this the right piece, will it fit my space, and when will it arrive. Specs and dimensions lead — width, depth, top thickness, load, sleep size — with product search and advice right behind, then delivery. Order status is 3.4% of chats. This is a selling desk, not a support desk.
