Challenges Khazana Canada Was Facing


Khazana Canada was handling multiple types of customer inquiries every day, including reservations, catering requests, private events, and general customer queries.


Initially, all customer inquiries came through Wix forms, after which the team manually followed up through phone calls and emails to continue the conversation.


As inquiry volumes increased, this process started becoming difficult to manage efficiently.

Whenever a new inquiry came in, the team had to:


  • Call or email the customer manually

  • Understand the customer’s requirements

  • Write down inquiry details internally

  • Track conversations through notes and discussions

  • Follow up with customers separately


Since everything was being handled manually, customer information and conversation history were often spread across calls, emails, and internal notes.


One of the biggest challenges was maintaining proper context between conversations.


The team was handling multiple customer calls throughout the day, and after attending to several inquiries, it became difficult to remember the exact details of a particular customer conversation without going back and checking notes or previous discussions again.


There were even situations where callbacks happened 1–2 days after a customer submitted a Wix inquiry form because the team was already managing multiple incoming inquiries simultaneously.


Another major challenge was lead prioritization.


Because inquiries were being managed manually, there was no structured way to identify which leads were high-intent and required immediate attention versus which inquiries had gone cold.


This made follow-up management more difficult and less organized as inquiry volumes increased.


Different inquiry types also required completely different conversations and information gathering.


For example:


  • A catering inquiry involved collecting detailed requirements

  • A private event inquiry needed longer conversations and follow-ups


Managing all these conversations manually at the same time became increasingly time-consuming for the team.


Main Operational Challenges


  • Customer follow-ups were handled manually through calls and emails


  • Callbacks to customers were sometimes delayed by 1–2 days during busy periods


  • Customer details and conversation history were scattered across calls, emails, and notes


  • There was no structured way to identify high-intent leads versus cold inquiries



What Khazana Needed


As inquiry volumes continued increasing, Khazana Canada needed a more structured way to manage customer communication and follow-ups efficiently.


They were looking for a solution that could:


  • Centralize all customer inquiries and conversations in one place


  • Help the team respond faster after Wix form submissions


  • Maintain proper conversation history and inquiry context


  • Reduce dependency on manual calls, emails, and note-taking


  • Make it easier to track and prioritize high-intent customer inquiries


  • Simplify follow-ups and overall inquiry management workflows


That’s when Khazana Canada started using Mercuri to streamline customer inquiry handling and automate WhatsApp communication workflows.


Why Khazana chose Mercuri


To bring more structure into their inquiry handling process, Khazana Canada implemented an automated workflow using Mercuri that organized customer inquiries from the moment a form was submitted.


Here’s how the workflow was structured using Mercuri:


Step 1: Inquiry Forms Connected to Mercuri


  • Whenever a customer submitted a form through the Khazana website, the inquiry was automatically captured inside Mercuri.


  • Instead of manually checking forms and reaching out later, all inquiries started entering a centralized workflow instantly.


Step 2: Inquiry Type Was Automatically Categorized


Mercuri automatically identified the type of inquiry submitted by the customer, such as:


  • Reservation inquiries

  • Catering requests

  • Private event inquiries

  • General customer queries


This removed the need for the team to manually review and organize each inquiry.


Step 3: Automated WhatsApp Responses Were Triggered


Based on the inquiry category, customers automatically received the relevant WhatsApp message along with the appropriate brochure or information.


For example:


  • Catering inquiries received catering-related details

  • Event inquiries received event-related communication


This helped the team reduce manual back-and-forth communication immediately after form submissions.


Step 4: Conversations Were Organized With Proper Context


Each conversation inside Mercuri was automatically labeled based on the inquiry type.


This gave the team immediate visibility into:


  • What the customer was looking for

  • Which conversation required priority attention

  • What previous context already existed


Instead of searching through calls, emails, or notes, the team could now view organized conversations from one centralized inbox.


Step 5: Faster Follow-Ups & Better Inquiry Management


Since inquiries were now structured and centralized, the team could:


  • Respond faster to customers

  • Track conversations more efficiently

  • Reduce delays in callbacks and follow-ups

  • Handle larger inquiry volumes in a more organized way


Khazana also implemented automated reminder workflows through Mercuri.


If a customer did not respond after the initial conversation, Mercuri automatically sent follow-up reminders after a day. This helped the team maintain consistent follow-ups without depending entirely on manual tracking or callbacks.


As a result, customer communication became more structured, timely, and easier to manage across different inquiry types.


What was previously a scattered manual workflow became a much more streamlined and scalable communication process using Mercuri.


Conclusion


By moving from manual phone-call-based inquiry handling to a more structured communication workflow, Khazana Canada was able to organize customer conversations more efficiently across catering, private events, and general inquiries.
