Exploring key CPaaS features for smarter customer interactions

Customer communications have become an integral part of business success. In today’s market, consumers expect fast, accurate, and personalized interactions with brands. To stay one step ahead of the competition, companies are opting for new technology solutions such as CPaaS. These systems offer extensive capabilities for interacting with clients through various communication channels. BSG’s communication platform as a service, for example, enables voice bots, bulk SMS, interactive RCS capabilities, and more. Their versatile solutions meet various business needs.

Voice bots for automated communication

Initially, voice bots were used for simple tasks, such as greeting customers or conveying information. However, with the development of technology, their functionality has expanded significantly. Today, they can handle more complex requests, conduct multi-level dialogues, record customer information, send notifications, and even help solve technical problems. Thanks to this, companies greatly reduce the workload of their employees, providing users with high-quality support without having to wait on the line.

Additionally, conversational AI voice bots collect and analyze customer interaction data, which helps improve service quality. This creates a more personalized approach and makes communication with customers more efficient.

Bulk SMS as a tool for strengthening communication

SMS marketing is a good way to strengthen connections with your audience, which works at all stages of interaction. Unlike emails, which can end up in spam or remain unread, SMS messages almost always reach their target.

The process of creating a mailing list is incredibly flexible and convenient nowadays. BSG’s CPaaS offers ready-made templates for mass sending with the possibility of personalization. Thanks to integrated databases, you can segment your audience by several criteria:

• age;
• geolocation;
• interests.

But the benefits don’t end there. What if the client wants to respond? This is where two-way communication comes in handy. Responses via SMS as feedback facilitate ongoing conversation and help study the audience’s reaction to offers. Thus, mass SMS mailing becomes not just a one-time tool, but an important element of a long-term relationship with the client.

Interactive RCS features to increase engagement

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is a new messaging standard that extends the functionality of regular SMS, offering businesses new opportunities to interact with clients. Benefits of using RCS in marketing and communications:

1. Multimedia messaging. Compared to regular SMS, RCS can send images, videos, animations, as well as interaction buttons, making the message more interesting, useful, and engaging for the recipient.
2. Interactive elements. Elements like reply buttons, forms, and website links let users create dynamic, feature-rich messages while ensuring seamless integration with various services.
3. Stickers and GIFs. Using stickers and animations adds fun and creativity to customer communications, which increases customer engagement and builds positive brand perception.
4. Confirmations and status tracking. With RCS, you can track whether a message has been delivered and know when the user has opened it. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of campaigns in real-time.
5. Security and personalization. RCS operates through secure channels, increasing personal data safety. Besides, the ability to personalize messages based on user data enhances the relevance and value of each interaction.

In conclusion, CPaaS offerings such as voice bots, bulk SMS, and interactive RCS capabilities improve customer interactions, making them faster, more personalized, and more efficient. These tools will definitely help your business boost service levels and build long-term, trusting relationships with your audience. So don’t hesitate to examine them more closely!
