AI Employee Hektor (Product Consultation)

Executive Summary

Rasendoktor.de, the online specialist for professional lawn care, received between 2,000 and 3,000 consultation-intensive inquiries seasonally. The product variety and technically demanding applications led to long waiting times and significant overload of the support team. The goal was to scale consultation quality, increase efficiency, and simultaneously ensure a seamless user experience.

With the introduction of Hektor, the AI employee from Qualimero trained on Rasendoktor's expertise, all webchat inquiries could be answered automatically. Hektor delivers precise product recommendations 24/7, considers regional specifics, and thus enables a drastic reduction in response times – without compromising consultation quality.

Rasendoktor: E-Commerce for Lawn Professionals

Rasendoktor is a leading provider of high-quality lawn care products such as professional fertilizers and seeds with over 30 years of industry experience. The range is aimed at demanding hobby gardeners and professionals alike who need detailed product advice to achieve optimal results.

The Challenge

High Inquiry Volume Meets Complex Consultation and Operational Bottlenecks

Rasendoktor faced several central challenges in customer service:

  • High Inquiry Volumes & Complexity: Seasonally, up to 3,000 inquiries came in per season – many of which required deep expert knowledge on specific lawn problems and application tips.
  • Scaling Pressure & Efficiency: With increasing growth, a scalable solution was necessary to relieve the team without disproportionately increasing operating costs.
  • Ensuring Consultation Quality: Answers always had to meet Rasendoktor's high expert standards and be brand-compliant – generic chatbot replies were not an option.
  • Seamless Integration: The new solution could neither require lengthy implementation projects nor overly burden internal resources.
  • Regional Specifics: Prices and availability in Germany and Austria had to be automatically considered.

A solution was sought that not only automates but also represents the specific expertise, delivers trustworthy answers, and integrates easily into daily operations.

Why Qualimero

Why Qualimero – and not just any AI solution?

When evaluating solutions, Rasendoktor placed particular emphasis on reliability, accuracy, and easy implementation. Standard chatbots were ruled out as they could not provide the required expertise and necessary precision. Qualimero impressed with an approach that met these core requirements:

Focus on Quality & Control: Qualimero's technology is designed to process complex knowledge reliably and without deviations. The commitment to train the AI specifically and exclusively on Rasendoktor's own high-quality content and expert knowledge provided assurance that answers would be precise and brand-compliant.

Efficient & Supported Integration: Qualimero offered seamless integration into existing processes with go-live within a few days. Decisive was the approach of largely taking over the technical implementation and keeping the effort for the Rasendoktor team minimal.

Partnership Approach & Support: The offered premium support and takeover of AI training signaled a true partnership that ensured successful implementation.

We needed a consultation solution for our client Rasendoktor that does justice to their expert status. Qualimero convinced us because their AI is trained on our specific knowledge and delivers precise answers. Additionally, the prospect of quick and uncomplicated implementation was very attractive to us.
