The Future of Online Sales Automation in the CIS
Online sales automation means using CRMs, chatbots, marketplaces, and payment systems to process orders without human involvement.
Business Process Automation (BPA) theory shows that 70% of routine sales tasks can be automated.
Example workflow:
Customer writes in Telegram → bot accepts order → CRM creates a deal → invoice → payment → delivery → status “Completed”.
In 2025, automation is critical: 68% of buyers drop off if they don’t get a reply within 5 minutes.
| Benefit | Effect | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Processing speed | Order in 30 sec | Bot instead of manager |
| 24/7 operation | Works day & night | Night orders |
| Fewer mistakes | 0 invoice typos | Auto-fill |
| Scalability | +1000 orders without +10 employees | CRM + marketplace |
| Analytics | Sales forecast | Real-time dashboard |
Local specifics:
Tajikistan: 78% of orders via WhatsApp, cash on delivery is common.
Uzbekistan: 65% via Uzum, Click, Payme.
Conclusion: Automation must support messengers + local payment systems.

| 4 | Configure payments | Oson / Payme |
| 5 | Sync inventory | 1C / Google Sheets |

Example automated pipeline:
Lead in Telegram → Bot → Catalog → Cart → Payment → Delivery → Review
Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram → CRM
Auto-response: “Thanks! A manager will contact you in 2 minutes.”
Bot shows catalog, prices, stock
Client selects → cart
Link to e-wallet / Payme
Auto-request to courier (Uzum Express or local)
Tracking link in chat
Auto review request after 3 days
Upsell: “Add a phone case with 20% discount?”
shamCRM ↔ ManyChat → messages into CRM
shamCRM ↔ Oson → payment → “Paid” status
shamCRM ↔ Uzum → inventory sync
Zapier → connects everything automatically
Example scenario:
Customer: “I want a bag” → bot shows 3 options → client chooses → payment link → after payment: “Order #123, delivery tomorrow”.
| Mistake | Consequence | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Automating without a pipeline | Chaos | Build pipeline first |
| No mobile version | Lose 50% of customers | Tilda + PWA |
| Ignoring local payment systems | Abandoned orders | Oson, Payme, Korti Milli |
| Overcomplicated bot | Client leaves | 3 steps max |
| No analytics | No idea what works | CRM dashboard |
AI voice bots → take orders via phone
Predictive analytics → “This customer will buy in 3 days”
AR previews → try-on in chat
Drone delivery → possible in Dushanbe by 2027
