How Leading Retailers Are Scaling Service and Speed with Agentforce
Retail is evolving fast. It’s no longer just about price or range. Success now depends on speed, service, and how well you connect with customers. Customers want instant answers, teams are stretched thin, and loyalty is earned quickly. Agility to embrace cutting-edge technology is now essential.
According to McKinsey, AI and automation can boost frontline productivity by 40% while improving customer satisfaction. But the results don’t come from tech alone. They come from having the right tools and the right partner.
At ProQuest, we help retailers turn AI into action. With Agentforce, built on Salesforce, we’ve supported brands like Kogan to improve response times, streamline service, and free up teams to focus on what matters most.
Here are three real-world examples of how Agentforce is helping retailers move faster.

- Customers get instant answers through chat

2. Returns and Cancellations Without the Wait
Returns and cancellations are part of retail life, but they shouldn’t create backlog.
With Agentforce:
- Customers start with simple prompts like “Cancel my order” or “Return this item”
- The AI checks status, confirms eligibility, and completes the request
- No queues, no delays, no need for manual processing
- Complex issues go to the right team with all the context provided
Customers stay happy. Your support team stays focused. No manual chaos.

3. Smarter Forecasting from Customer Signals
Spreadsheets and guesswork aren’t enough for accurate demand planning.
Agentforce uses customer interaction data to improve forecasting:
- Every search, product question, or comparison feeds into demand signals
- The system surfaces early indicators of shifting interest
- Retailers can stock smarter, avoid lost sales, and reduce excess inventory
Agentforce works with your existing data to deliver insights your team can act on.
