Conversational Business is becoming more common due to an increasingly demand in Customer habits.

The reason businesses are adopting messaging is to automate the work load but overall to engage with their customers. Messaging is the winning channel for customers, because they use it constantly in their everyday life, i.e. SMS, WhatsApp or Facebook Messaging… It is secure, quick, and very convenient to use. It gets the answers right when are needed so they can be sure of the purchase they are about to make or the reservation booking they would like to close… It also lets agents have more context so they can give back a much better service.So in order to offer a real-time omnichannel customer experience, technology is the key.
