Illustrative Case Study
Based on realistic usage patterns and typical results reported by users — not a verified customer story. Numbers are illustrative.
The Problem
A Shopify store selling custom furniture ($480k/yr revenue) was handling 340 support tickets per month. Average response time: 8 hours. Visitors asked the same questions repeatedly: delivery times, custom order process, return policy. One support agent spent 80% of their time on these repeat questions.
The Solution
Installed Tidio ($29/mo). Trained Lyro AI on their FAQ, policy pages, and product specs. AI answered delivery, customization, and returns questions instantly 24/7. Human agents handled only complex or order-specific issues.
The Result
Support tickets dropped from 340 to 159/month — a 53% reduction. Agent time freed up: 80% of 160 hours/month = 128 hours. The agent redirected to proactive chat with cart abandoners — conversion rate on abandoned carts improved 8%, adding $3,200/mo in revenue.
💡 ROI Estimate: Tool costs $29/mo. Agent time saved + revenue uplift: $4,900/mo. ROI: 169x.
