Revolutionizing Digital Customer Engagement with Uptok
How we helped Uptok bring a human touch to digital commerce through personalized, one-on-one video interactions.
Project Overview
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the retail space fundamentally changed as physical locations shuttered and e-commerce became the only option. Kwanso partnered with Uptok to reimpose a human touch in digital commerce through a live video commerce platform that enables personalized, one-on-one interactions between businesses and high-intent customers directly on their websites.

The Challenge
E-commerce platforms struggled to replicate the in-store, human element of shopping. Customers bypassed direct contact with knowledgeable people who could address questions, offer guidance, and build trust. This led to poor conversion rates for high-value products where no assisted selling was available. The pandemic urgently required retailers to implement scalable solutions that would maintain customer trust and engagement in a fully digital environment.
