CHALLENGE
Deliver seamless, inclusive customer experiences across a diverse and rapidly evolving telecom market
In recent years, Brazil’s telecommunications market has undergone a profound transformation. Connectivity is no longer the end product, it is just the starting point. Customers now expect integrated services, seamless journeys, and personalized experiences that reflect their preferences and context.
For Vero, one of Brazil’s leading fiber optic ISPs, this shift raised a critical question: how can we anticipate the needs of highly diverse customer profiles and deliver value far beyond internet access?
Customer behavior varies significantly across the country. In major cities, most users prefer fast, digital interactions. In smaller cities and regional areas, proximity and human touchpoints, face-to-face conversations and in-store support remain essential. Balancing both worlds without compromising operational efficiency is especially challenging in a country as large and diverse as Brazil.
Before consolidating its communications strategy, Vero relied mainly on traditional channels such as email and SMS, along with strong in-store and call center support. Channels were not fully unified and, in some cases, were managed through different providers, creating silos and limiting visibility across the customer journey. As the company expanded and WhatsApp adoption surged in Brazil, Vero identified a growing gap in delivering fast, contextual, and scalable digital interactions. The need for a cohesive omnichannel approach became clear.
From the very beginning of Vero’s operations, Infobip has been a strategic partner, helping build a unified, agile, and contextual customer journey across channels—laying the foundation for scalable growth and consistent engagement nationwide.
With a clear purpose, Vero delivers high-quality internet, with 100% fiber optic technology, to cities in the interior of Brazil, aiming to be an operator “the size of each customer’s world.” The company focuses on providing a truly stable and fast connection, prioritizing close and efficient customer service to stand out from the major operators. That’s why we needed a communication platform that met our high service standards.

WhatsApp Businesses became Vero’s primary customer contact channel, centralizing interactions and redefining critical processes. The journey starts at registration, where customers provide consent and their contact details are verified through email validation and number lookup. Once segmented, they receive targeted campaigns or can initiate conversations directly. Using our Chatbot Builder for automated dialogues, Vero guides customers through key use cases, with seamless handover to human agents when needed — ensuring a smooth path from opt-in to resolution within a single channel.
One practical example is Vero’s vision to reduce cancellations of technical visits often by using WhatsApp calling, allowing technicians to quickly reach customers in real time. This approach will streamline coordination for scheduled visits, improving both efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Another major milestone was implementing WhatsApp Payments integrated with Pix, Brazil’s popular instant payment method. Adoption was immediate, reflecting the natural digital behavior of Brazilian consumers. The solution reduced operational costs and accelerated the payment cycle, contributing directly to improved cash flow and efficiency.
Beyond digital channels, Vero transformed its physical stores into digital enablement hubs designed to educate and guide customers toward new channels, reinforcing its commitment to digital inclusion regardless of location or profile.
Empowering Vero with a scalable SaaS foundation
Internally, Vero implemented our customer engagement solution to provide the marketing team full ownership of the customer journey. What once required ongoing technical support can now be managed directly by marketing, helping the team:
- Build and launch end-to-end customer journeys
- Test and refine different approaches
- Adjust campaigns in real time
- Analyze performance independently

This shift helped Vero move faster, experiment more, and scale successful strategies with confidence.
At the heart of this journey is our cloud contact center, which connects digital engagement with customer support. Customers no longer need to navigate rigid IVR menus. Instead, they simply write what they need and start a natural, AI-powered conversation. This setup:
- Automates common inquiries
- Routes conversations intelligently
- Enables smooth handover to human agents when needed

Looking ahead, Vero has started using RCS for Business as the next step in its communication strategy. By adding richer, branded, and interactive messaging, the company aims to:
- Strengthen customer engagement
- Improve conversion rates
- Deliver a more consistent experience across the journey
