The channels stay. Only the work a person confirms is separated out.

3 channels, one place · Refunds & pricing gated · One report a day

What a person confirms runs on a single thread.

Rather than adding another screen, we sort the work arriving on the channels you use and separate out only the decisions a person should see.

The same channels

Nothing new to install. Velros AI works over the Instagram DM, WhatsApp, email, phone, and customer list (spreadsheet) you already use, building the screens, approval queue, and reports you need and refining them as you operate.

Here's how these questions get handled.

The requests that arrive at Retail & Concept Stores every day, kept on one screen along with what to confirm and what to improve next.

The order a person kept by hand, moved over as it was.

  1. Sort Messages from Google Business, Instagram DMs, Yelp, and email get split into stock/pickup, returns/exchange, and events/booking.
  2. Check It cross-checks in-store stock, the booking calendar, and purchase history so replies rest only on what's true right now.
  3. Draft Pickup windows, exchange terms, and open workshop seats come back as drafts written in the customer's own tone.
  4. Approve Anything hard to undo, like refunds, price adjustments, and holding the last unit, goes up as an approval card for you.

What you can see

Original messages, photos, staff edits, and approval-hold reasons from Instagram DM, WhatsApp, email, phone, and your customer list stay on record as evidence for next week's improvements.

What stops

Refunds and exchanges, price or coupon changes, stock promises, and bulk announcements go out only after the owner or a staff member reviews them.

Someone who knows the industry sets the rules with you.

A Velros operations designer and a working retail expert turn your standards for stock questions, in-store pickup, repair intake, and customer care into real operating procedures.

A person's time

Less repeat checking, and more of the day on the decisions and the growth that matter.

In depth

While you're checking the back room, the customer at the counter waits

"Is that in stock right now?" "When can I pick it up?" "Can I return this?" These questions land all day across email, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, and phone calls. Most are repeat lookups that end once you confirm stock or pickup status, but while you're checking, the floor goes untended and your regulars go unanswered. Refund approvals and price adjustments, the calls only a person should make, get buried in the same inbox as the routine ones. Velros gathers the repetitive lookups and drafts the replies, then pulls out only the money decisions and sets them in front of you.

From the first message to done

  1. Scattered channels, one thread

    Messages split across email, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, and phone notes get grouped by customer, then sorted first by what they actually need: a stock check, a pickup status, or a repair intake.

  2. Simple lookups come pre-drafted

    "We have two of that size in store. Want me to hold one for pickup by 6 today?" is written for you against your stock and reservation data. You just read it and hit send.

  3. Judgment calls stand on their own

    Refund requests, price haggling, whether to hand over the last unit. None of these send automatically. They come up as an approval card with the situation summarized, and the reply only goes out after you confirm.

What a person confirms

Refunds and exchanges
Exchanges without a receipt, returns on opened items, sale-price returns. The exceptions aren't Velros's call. It lays out the request and the purchase history, and nothing happens until you approve it.
Price and discount adjustments
"I'm a regular, can you knock a little off?" How much to adjust is yours to decide. Velros shows the list price and your past exchanges with that customer; you type the number.
Committing the last unit
Whether the last one in stock goes to an online inquiry or stays for a regular who's coming in is your choice. Velros just lays out the waiting order for you.

Deadlines and duties you can't miss

Honest, non-deceptive claims
When you promote and sell over Instagram or WhatsApp, price, availability, and your return terms have to be stated truthfully, with no "last one!" when there are ten. Velros flags a promo line that overstates or leaves out the terms.
Customer data collection and use
Phone numbers and emails taken for pickup holds or repair intake should be used only for what the customer expected. Velros keeps a number from sitting in a list it was never meant for.
Consent and opt-out on marketing blasts
Restock and event emails need a clear sender identity, an honest subject line, and a working unsubscribe. Velros builds the send list from customers who opted in and asks for your approval before anything goes out.

Common questions

Do I have to wire up live inventory?
Keep working the way you do now. Connect a stock sheet or your POS and it answers automatically; without one, it drafts "Let me check the floor and get right back to you" for you to fill in and send.
Won't my regulars get robotic replies?
Drafts pick up the tone and the name you've used with that customer before. Send it as-is or tweak a line. Either way it always passes through you before it goes out.
What if a refund goes out on its own?
Anything with money attached, like refunds, prices, or stock, never sends automatically. It comes up only as an approval card, and nothing happens until you tap it.
