The Challenge: Growing Travel Business with Customer Service Bottlenecks

Ritika runs a growing travel & wellness brand that was experiencing the classic small business growth problem: success was creating more customer service demands than she could handle. Her biggest challenge? Too many customer queries—"Is this package available?", "How do I book?", "Where's my payment receipt?"—coming in on WhatsApp, the website, and DMs at all hours.

She couldn't respond fast enough, losing leads and looking unprofessional. The business was growing, but customer service was becoming a bottleneck that threatened to limit her success.
