Powering seamless omnichannel communication

A fundamental aspect of achieving customer satisfaction is understanding customers’ pain points. Brands must stay connected with their customers to understand the problem areas and improve the same.  

Today’s customers interact with brands through multiple communication channels before making a purchasing decision. Even brands try to use those channels on which their customers are mostly active.  

Daniel shared, Adira Finance has been actively engaging with its customers through its dedicated mobile app, ADIRAKU, and WhatsApp channels. 

WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps in Indonesia with an active user base of 94.3 million. Besides WhatsApp has a 98% open rate, which makes it a perfect tool for brands to remain connected with their customers.

Personalization: The key to customer satisfaction

Creating a personalized experience is the key to building a deeper relationship with customers and driving higher conversions.  

According to a Forbes Survey, 81% of customers prefer companies that offer personalized experiences. 

As consumer needs constantly change, brands must analyze customer data to predict their future needs. It is very important for brands to leverage digital channels to deliver personalized experiences.   

Whether it’s offering automobile loans or running a loyalty program, understanding customers’ needs should be a priority to create a better customer experience.  

Leveraging digital channels for hyper-personalization 

If we look back a decade, personalization in customer experiences was a complex and fragmented process. Thanks to technology, today brands can leverage existing data to create smooth, highly tailored interactions across platforms like WhatsApp, email, SMS, and more. Digital communication channels play an important role in the auto financing sector.  

Adira Finance has been using our customer engagement solution, Moments, to create a powerful omnichannel marketing strategy leveraging channels such as WhatsApp, Email, and SMS.  Here’s how they used the channels: 

  • Authenticate users through one-time password (OTP) via SMS  
  • Run promotional offers and other marketing campaigns based on past purchases through WhatsApp and Email 
  • Send reminders through SMS and WhatsApp notifications
