Clients increasingly want to talk to their service teams and relationship managers on apps like WhatsApp and other messaging apps. But this can be very difficult for businesses to manage, and it causes data privacy and compliance issues with industry regulations.
Compare two leading solutions: ClientWindow and UserLike to see which option is right for your business.
ClientWindow is a communications platform which seamlessly connects clients who prefer WhatsApp with business teams who use email. Working silently in the background it solves any management and compliance challenges that come with WhatsApp. On the other hand, UserLike is primarily a live chat solution for websites and apps. It allows businesses to engage with website visitors in real time with a strong focus on client service, such as when a purchase's delivery is delayed.
Compare the features and functions of each platform to see what is right for your business:
