Proactive notifications
Organizations can send relevant and actionable notifications, reminders and ad-hoc messages for a seamless interaction, creating a delightful way of keeping your customers satisfied.

The ability to easily share photos and other multimedia content augments the way consumers can engage with businesses. Instead of describing what they see, they can simply snap a picture and send it. Customer service has never been so convenient.
