// Challenge

A Growing Shop Held Back by Manual Work

Okunek is a premium seafood shop with a loyal customer base and a complex catalog — fresh fish, shellfish, caviar, and delicacies — where every item has its own availability, pack sizes, and pricing rules.

As order volume grew in Telegram, every inquiry needed a person: advising on products, checking stock, adding up totals, and logging orders by hand. Outside business hours, customers simply waited. The team was spending most of its day on repetitive, low-value work.

The goal: fully automate consultation and order processing, without losing the warm, expert feel that defines the Okunek brand.

// Solution

Maria — An AI Sales Manager Built on Claude

Concept Agency designed and deployed Maria, a virtual sales consultant inside Okunek's Telegram channel. Built on Anthropic's Claude API and orchestrated with n8n, Maria handles the whole customer journey, from first message to confirmed order.

Real-Time Product Knowledge

Maria checks the live catalog on every message — prices, stock, packaging rules — and steers customers toward the right choice.

End-to-End Order Processing

Collects the customer's name, phone number, delivery method, address, and preferred time, then creates the order in the CRM automatically.

Smart Delivery Logic

Detects out-of-town orders, switches to the Nova Poshta flow, adds mandatory thermal packaging, and enforces minimum order values.

Instant Human Handoff

Complaints, VIP orders above ₴10,000, and out-of-stock items trigger an immediate handoff to a live sales rep, with the full conversation attached.

How Maria Handles a Sale

  1. The customer sends a message in Telegram

    Maria greets them and replies right away — whether it's a product question, a stock check, or an order.

  2. Claude reasons over the live product catalog

    The AI queries the real-time product database and recommends three to five relevant items with prices, pack details, and value comparisons.

  3. Order details are collected step by step

    Maria gathers delivery preferences, applies the business rules (thermal packaging, minimum order values), and shows a full summary for confirmation.

  4. The order is created in Google Sheets / CRM via n8n

    Once the customer confirms, the order is logged instantly with every detail — ready for fulfillment, with zero manual data entry.

  5. Edge cases go to a human

    Complaints, large orders, and unavailable products trigger an immediate handoff, with full context passed to the team.
