Case Studies

Deployed through cloud hosting and open API (application programming interface) and supported on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Apple products, and on the web, Freshchat and Botsplash are both readily available and consistent with industry standards and practices. 

However, with only alerts/notifications, offline form, and file transfers, Freshchat is limited in their chat functionalities. With Botsplash, users and customers engage in conversation across multiple digital channels – SMS, web chat, Facebook Messenger, and more. All conversations are listed in a single location with easy access to chat transcripts for compliance and regulatory purposes. On top of that, the Botsplash platform is also a mobile app, so communication through the desktop portal of the Botsplash platform can also be accessed on the mobile app.

Additionally, the Botsplash platform offers the following: 

  • Two-way document sharing
  • Centralized conversation audit across digital channels
  • Knowledge base and video tutorials for self-help
  • Spam monitoring and status checks for text message marketing
  • Custom integrations
  • Advanced security to protect your company and customer data

In summary, Botsplash is more than just a chat widget. It is a robust digital communication platform that consolidates all inbound and outbound communications from prospective customers to enterprises so that no conversations are lost. If your company is looking for an omnichannel platform for your digital communication needs, Botsplash is a great solution.
