Project Overview

The engagement

A WhatsApp automation stack that handles catalogue browsing, order taking, support and post-purchase re-engagement — with clean opt-in, templated broadcasts and human handover.

Client Challenge

Where they were stuck

  • WhatsApp is where customers actually live, but businesses treat it as a personal inbox.
  • Ad clicks are wasted because there is no automated follow-up.
  • Compliance and template approvals slow teams down.
Our Solution

What we built

  • Click-to-WhatsApp funnels tied directly to ad campaigns.
  • AI-assisted responses with human fallback for high-value threads.
  • Segmented broadcasts using approved templates.
  • Order and CRM sync so agents see full history in one place.
