The world has moved from mobile first to mobile always. With Clickatell Touch, big brands can set up shop in the palm of a customer's hand,” said Deon van Heerden, CEO, Clickatell Messaging.

Clickatell Touch is personalised, immediate and intuitive, making it a game changer in today's customer service landscape. Its essential elements include:

• Touch™ chat platform enables businesses to seamlessly manage multiple customer conversations in parallel. Our enterprise chat application provides 360-degree views of customers, chat forwarding, multi-agent to customer chat, mark-ups, bot chat assistance and many other enterprise features that drive customer engagement happiness.
• Touch™ cards are customisable mini-applications that bring everyday transactions like appointments, estimates, purchases, invoices and more into the chat stream as simple and convenient self-service interactions.
• Touch™ Business rules engine intelligently integrates Touch with your existing on premise and cloud-based enterprise CRM, ERP, support and business applications to leverage customer data and deliver personalised experiences.

The company says that its trials and testing have indicated up to a 60 percent reduction in call centre costs over the first three years of operation. Part of these savings are a result of the fact that with Clickatell Touch, a single agent can handle up to six customer conversations at the same time. The other significant saving factors are elimination of IT infrastructure, self-service and automation capabilities. Touch Cards also provide opportunities to cross-sell and upsell during support interactions.
