Why RCS Business Messaging Outperforms SMS?

Technology has revolutionized the way we communicate. With rich media and interactivity in messaging, brands will be able to increase customer engagement using chatbots and artificial intelligence (AI). Taking a step ahead from SMS, RCS Business Messaging (RBM) is touted to be an emerging player in the mobile messaging space with its ability to reshape and revitalize the way we communicate. Therefore, it will be playing a major role in the future of IP messaging.

SMS v/s RCS Business Messaging

Let’s take a quick look at how RBM is an upgrade to SMS:

1. Branding: RBM will ensure enterprises using this service are verified. It will also give space to explore in terms of branding. This increases the users’ trust while engaging in placing an order, making payments, etc.
2. Read receipts: RBM’s new features allow the enterprises to know whether a customer has opened a message or not.
3. Pay on delivery: Enterprises pay only after a message is successfully delivered.
4. Prompt responses & Problem solving: The functionality of RBM allows quick replies to customers, thereby leading to an increase in overall engagement and easy resolution.
