When stores closed during the pandemic, UNTUCKit turned to live chat to keep customer conversations going. But their previous tool lacked the omnichannel visibility and accuracy needed to deliver a truly personal experience. Hear how switching to Endear's SalesChat from a previous live chat tool transformed their online selling, improved conversions by 28%, and bridged the gap between digital and in-store service.

When it comes to connecting the dots between online and in-store shopping, few brands do it better than UNTUCKit. If you don't already know and love the brand, UNTUCKit set out to solve a simple problem: make shirts that look good untucked. Today, UNTUCKit operates both online and in more than 80 retail locations across the US, Canada, and the UK, offering a full range of men’s, women’s, and youth apparel.

We spoke with Kaitlin Gottlieb, Senior Director of Omnichannel at UNTUCKit, to hear how her team turned live chat from a basic support tool into a high-performing sales channel.


From navigating pandemic-driven store closures to rolling out Endear SalesChat across 20 teams, Kaitlin shared the wins, lessons, and real numbers behind UNTUCKit’s success — including a 28% lift in conversions, fewer missed chats, and happier customers both online and in store.

Think of it as a store team within your website - generating revenue, sales and loyalty. It’s not just about answering questions, it’s about driving sales and enhancing their experience, one chat at a time.

The Challenge

When the pandemic forced store closures, UNTUCKit launched live chat to continue connecting with customers online. "We activated live chat immediately after the pandemic began. Stores were physically closed but this gave us the opportunity to continue to connect with our customers and assist with our Find Your Fit experience digitally. We learned our customers loved chatting with us digitally. We saw new and existing customers engaging with their local and favorite stores."

But their existing tool fell short.

  • Associates on chat couldn’t see a full customer profile, including store purchases or past chats.
  • Multiple apps were required to answer questions, slowing response times.
  • Chat transfers to customer service were clunky, often resulting in dropped conversations.
  • Sales were only attributed if the purchase happened online and on the same device as the chat, meaning resulting in-store sales went untracked.

Without complete visibility or accurate attribution, store teams hesitated to make personalized recommendations and opportunities to close sales were being missed.

Why They Chose Endear for their SalesChat Functionality

When their old vendor sunsetted the feature, UNTUCKit saw an opportunity to find something better.

"The Endear team had an appetite to expand live chat features and functions," noted Kaitlin. "The Endear team was amazing in that they wanted to fully understand our use cases to ensure we had the right and best features and functions to give the best customer and associate experience."

From onboarding to rollout, Endear worked closely with UNTUCKit to refine the product, train teams, and scale from a pilot group to 20 stores in four months.

"It’s easy to use and associate-friendly. Store associates, CS, and our Concierge team all use SalesChat to enhance the customer experience and drive sales."

In addition to measurable results, with SalesChat, UNTUCKit store teams now have:

  • Full omnichannel visibility including past store and online purchases, cart contents, communication history, and preferences.
  • Seamless chat transfers to allow customer service to join existing chats without losing context.
  • Live availability indicators so customers see when associates are online, reducing missed chats.
  • Accurate attribution since sales tied to email addresses, not just web cookies, ensuring trusty reporting.

"SalesChat gives us full visibility into the customer’s shopping journey," says Kaitlin, "allowing us to personalize every interaction in an informed way."

A Winning Conversation

When asked about SalesChat's impact, one chat exchange perfectly captures it:

"A customer sent a photo of an outfit they wanted," Kaitlin told us. "The associate asked fit questions, suggested the right size, shared complementary products, and even reminded them about a promo code. The customer purchased immediately — a digital experience that mirrored in-store service."

SalesChat continues to prove that live chat is far more than just a customer support tool. It’s a powerful selling channel that seamlessly connects our online and in-store experiences.
