Staff assistant for checkout and service

A new cashier at the Lightspeed till does not know whether a return without a receipt is allowed, what promotion runs today or what to do with a parcel left uncollected in a DHL parcel locker, while the manager answers by phone from another store. The assistant in Teams answers from your internal documents, with a link to the source.

  • Copilot Studio agent in Teams
  • SharePoint knowledge library
  • Entra ID access model

Cashiers ask the same questions at the Lightspeed till, and the answers depend on the manager

  • With a link every answer comes from your SharePoint document
  • Teams on the phone and at the Lightspeed till computer
  • First shift a new employee works independently
  • Your tenant data stays in Microsoft 365

In a retail chain the rules live in several places: the returns policy in a SharePoint document, promotions in a weekly email, loyalty programme terms in a marketing deck, the Lightspeed till instructions in a paper folder, and the DHL parcel handover procedure in a PDF from the courier. A cashier with a queue has no time to search, so they call the shift manager or decide on their own. The result: the same situation is handled differently in different stores, a customer gets the wrong discount at the till, a return is entered with the wrong Lightspeed document, and a new employee's first weeks pass under supervision.

We build a Copilot Studio agent in your Microsoft 365 tenant. It answers only from approved documents in a SharePoint library: the returns policy, the promotions list, loyalty rules, Lightspeed till instructions, the DHL parcel handover procedure and frequently asked customer questions. An employee asks in Teams on a phone or on the till computer in everyday words, for example how to process a return without a receipt in Lightspeed, and the agent gives the answer with a link to the document and the section it came from. If the answer is not in the documents, the agent says so and points to the shift manager instead of making something up. Marketing updates the promotions list in the same SharePoint file, so the next morning the agent answers according to the new list. Access is controlled through Entra ID: an employee sees only the documents for their store group and role, and all questions and answers stay in your tenant and are visible in the log.

How it works

Four steps from input to a record in your system, with human approval wherever there is risk.

Organising the documents

Together with you we gather the current returns, promotions, loyalty and Lightspeed till instructions and the DHL parcel handover procedure into a SharePoint library with clear owners. Outdated versions are removed so that the agent does not answer from them.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need Microsoft 365 Copilot licences for every cashier?

A Copilot Studio agent is licensed differently from Microsoft 365 Copilot, so full Copilot licences for every employee are not required. At the start of the implementation we review your licences and suggest the most suitable option.

Can the agent check stock in the ERP or a DHL parcel, not just answer from documents?

In the first stage the agent answers only from SharePoint documents. In the second stage we can connect read-only queries to ERP stock or DHL parcel status through an API or an export, depending on your ERP version. We choose the integration method after a check, and we do not claim an official partnership with these systems.

What if a promotion changes in the middle of the day?

Marketing updates the promotions document in SharePoint, and the agent starts answering from the new version after indexing, usually within a few hours. For urgent cases we recommend an additional announcement in a Teams channel, and prices at the till are in any case set by Lightspeed.
