Hi, is my Alder sofa still coming Thursday? I need to leave work early for it.

Porchlight · 1:13 PM

It is. Your sofa left the Denver hub this morning and is on Thursday’s two-person route. The crew will text you 30 minutes before they arrive.

The top of my Birch dining table has a white ring after two weeks. Photos attached.

That looks like a finish claim, so I’m bringing in Marisol from our warranty team. She can see your photos.

Hands the hard ones to a person

When a claim needs judgment, Porchlight stops talking and brings in the right teammate, with the order, the photos and a suggested fix already written up.

Routed by topic
Finish claims go to warranty, missed windows to logistics, repeat buyers to a lead.
Nothing to ask twice
The customer never repeats an order number or sends the photos again.
Your limits, in writing
Refunds over $250 and replacement parts always wait for a person.
How handoff rules work

Fluent in freight, fabric and fine print

The parts of furniture support a generic chatbot gets wrong are the parts Porchlight was built around.

Knows where the truck is

Carrier scans become a plain answer with a two-hour window, not a tracking number to decode.

    Thu, 1:00–3:00 PM MT

Finish defects are covered for five years from delivery; fabric pilling and pet damage are not.

A customer relaxing on her newly delivered linen sofa

Customers used to email three times before the truck showed up. Now they get the window in under a minute, and my team works the claims that need a person.

Email the team
Where does Porchlight get delivery status from?

It reads your order system and your carriers’ tracking feeds every five minutes. If a carrier has no feed, it shares the last confirmed scan and hands the ticket to a person.

What happens when it isn’t sure?

It stops and brings in your team with a summary, the order and any photos. You set the confidence line per topic, and damage claims can always go straight to a person.

Will it promise refunds or replacements?

Only inside the limits you write down, like sending replacement hardware under $40. Anything past a limit becomes a handoff with a suggested resolution.

How long does setup take?

Most brands connect a storefront, one carrier and their warranty terms in an afternoon. For the first week Porchlight drafts replies for your approval before it answers on its own.

Does it answer in our voice?

It learns from your past replies and a short style note. You can preview any answer and change the phrasing before it goes live.

Which channels does it cover?

Email and site chat on every plan, with SMS from Parlor up. Phone calls route to your team with a written summary of the order attached.

Leave the light on tonight

Connect your storefront and one carrier this afternoon. Porchlight drafts tonight’s answers for you to approve in the morning.
