What is Richpanel?
Richpanel is an AI-native helpdesk and customer service CRM purpose-built for ecommerce brands, particularly DTC (direct-to-consumer) businesses. It resolves routine tickets like refunds, order tracking, subscription cancellations, and repeat queries autonomously using specialized AI agents while human agents handle exceptions. The platform consolidates email, live chat, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, and voice into a single dashboard with complete customer and order history visible in one view.
Key features include four specialized AI roles: CX Manager AI (builds playbooks and monitors quality), Frontline AI (resolves 70-80% of routine conversations autonomously), Copilot AI (researches and drafts replies for human agents, delivering 5x agent throughput), and QA AI (reviews 100% of conversations). The self-service portal auto-resolves 60% of issues without agents. Richpanel offers comprehensive support dashboards with reporting on customer intents, agent performance, and revenue from support. It integrates with 40+ ecommerce tools including Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Recharge, Loop Returns, AfterShip, and Google Sheets.
Richpanel is designed for ecommerce businesses that have outgrown traditional ticketing systems like Zendesk, Freshdesk, and Helpscout. It serves 2,000+ brands including The Ridge, Jones Road Beauty, Pela, and Karta Ventures. The platform supports multi-brand setups where each brand gets its own trained AI agent with separate routing, SLAs, knowledge, and voice while maintaining central oversight. Businesses can switch from Gorgias or Zendesk with full migration of tickets, macros, tags, users, and history.
The platform guarantees 50% autonomous resolution by day 30 with a money-back guarantee, resolves conversations at approximately $0.30 per conversation compared to $2-$10 for human-handled replies, and delivers 8-second first reply times on every channel. It is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR-audited with AES-256 encryption and 99.9% uptime across AWS availability zones.
