Electronics retail
Strong fit- The problem
- Buyers ask "will this fit?" and "is it in stock?" all day, and a wrong answer means a return.
- How Anchor helps
- Define compatibility rules once (for example socket must match). Anchor answers fit questions with a deterministic yes or no from those rules and the product attributes, alongside live price and stock.
- Channels
- Website widget; Messenger and WhatsApp once connected.
- Data you provide
- Products with attributes (socket, capacity, connector type) and the compatibility rules you define.
- Limits
- Anchor does not ship a parts database: you supply the attributes and rules.
