The business
Built for international equipment conversations
RIPPA manufactures construction equipment, including compact excavators and road rollers, for international buyers. Winning a buyer’s confidence starts well before a sale: understanding the equipment they need, answering technical questions and keeping the conversation moving across languages.
Challenge
Too much sales time spent before the sales conversation
Scattered customer entry points
Inquiries reached different websites and messaging accounts. Switching between them made timely replies and follow-up harder.
Language and time-zone gaps
Overseas inquiries could arrive after the sales team’s working hours. Moving between translation tools added more work.
Approach
From the first message to a prepared sales conversation
AI handles the opening questions, collects buyer needs and tags intent. Sales can pick up the conversation with the details needed to take it further.
