SMS Chat for Business
Two-way communication with your customers via SMS messages.
The advantage of the Daktela SMS Chat is its versatility and support of all mobile phones. Our SMS Chat also gives your customers the opportunity of developing two-way chats with you. This allows them to respond to individual agents upon receipt of a text message. We can also provide short code numbers and the option to display your company name. Surprise your customers with an immediate and relevant response.
Daktela SMS Chat is one of Daktela’s communication channels that allows you to communicate with your customers via SMS messages and groups these messages into threads. The advantage is its versatility and support on all mobile phones that can send an ordinary SMS message. Product and service providers often operate one-way informative SMS communication to their customers without the possibility of a reply and Daktela SMS Chat aims to change this.

As our SMS Chat is integrated with our CRM system and helpdesk the agent is able to view the complete customer communication history across all channels at the beginning of the Chat . The agent can assign the SMS chat to any existing helpdesk tickets or create a new one. An SMS chat transcript is then added to the customer’s communication history at the end of chat.
