The business challenge
Where retail businesses lose customers today.
The customer story
Meera opens an Urban Loom message showing new arrivals. She taps a pair of running shoes, picks her size on WhatsApp and pays in two taps. When she abandons a second item later, a gentle reminder brings her back — and a loyalty offer turns her into a regular.
- 01
Low campaign engagement
Plain SMS and email promotions are ignored.
- 02
Abandoned carts
Shoppers add items and leave without completing payment.
- 03
Generic recommendations
Everyone gets the same offers, whatever their taste.
- 04
Support overload
‘Where is my order?’ questions flood the team.
- 05
Weak repeat purchases
One-time buyers are never brought back.
Interactive demonstration
You are the customer. Try both channels.
Tap replies, pick cards or type your own answers — the conversation follows your choices. Switch to RCS anytime; each channel keeps its place.

Simulated conversation · sample data · no messages are sent
Here, RCS is the campaign channel: a branded carousel with buy buttons that hand off to WhatsApp. RCS works on supported Android devices and carriers; elsewhere a fallback (such as SMS) is used. Moving to WhatsApp happens only when the customer taps to chat there.
Two channels, one lifecycle
RCS opens the door. WhatsApp builds the relationship.
- Two-way, real-time conversations
- AI-assisted answers and qualification
- Support, reminders and follow-ups
- Hand-off to your team in the same chat
RCS
- Rich, branded cards and carousels
- Visual product and service discovery
- Interactive promotional campaigns
- Verified sender in the default messages app
- RCSA rich campaign reaches the customer
- CustomerTaps ‘Chat on WhatsApp’ or a card action
- WhatsAppAI qualifies, answers and books
- AutomationReminders and follow-ups on the right channel
Cross-channel continuation requires an explicit customer action or a separately configured workflow.
