Infobip Launches MVNO Offering in Europe

Director of Marketing EMEA

Zoha Tapia

Director of Marketing EMEA

London UK and Vodnjan, Istria, Croatia – 25th May 2021: Global cloud communications company Infobip today announced that its full range of CPaaS solutions are available for Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). The offering comes in a bid to ensure all telco providers can provide an exceptional customer experience while lowering operational costs​. Next Mobile in Poland is already realizing the benefits of Infobip’s partnership in delivering exceptional service and a smooth online experience across multiple channels.

With over a decade of experience working with telecoms, Infobip’s MVNO offering, which launched this month, will help tackle the key pain points this segment of operators face; notably how to ensure 24/7 support is available, being able to communicate with customers across the entire journey, and to reduce costs.

Many operators are facing an increase in online customer queries due to reduced in-person operations driven by the pandemic. To manage this influx, Infobip is offering MVNOs a range of automation features through its cloud contact center solution, Conversations, and chatbot-building platform, Answers. Operators can use automation to answer more simple enquiries via LiveChat, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger, for example, payment requests, account balances, and tariff changes. Then for those customer care issues where a more complex response is needed, Infobip’s solutions offer a seamless transfer from bot to agent.

Its customer engagement hub, Moments, is also available for MVNOs to use a self-service interface for sending timely, personalized promotions across the largest range of programmable channels including SMS, voice, RCS, email, and chat apps. It can also help streamline the online registration process for new customers.

Director of Operator Strategy and Partnerships, Mijo Soldin, comments: “MVNOs have excelled at differentiating from the MNO market – offering competitive prices and having the agility and flexibility to address the specific needs of niche markets. But customer service expectations are rising, and price alone is no longer enough to stand out. Now, MVNOs must focus on delivering a competitive CX, as well as being affordable.”

Next Mobile in Poland has partnered with Infobip to offer in-house customer support via a single platform. Infobip’s Conversations solution provides one place to handle conversations across multiple channels. This is especially important as the MVNO looks to move from voice-only support to channels like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, where the process can be automated.

CEO of Next Mobile, Rafał Kozłowski comments “Infobip’s Conversations solution has everything we need: one platform to manage every customer service channel with ease and convenience. It also gives us a clearer view of customer satisfaction, so we can ensure the experience is as positive as possible across the entire customer journey.”

Soldin concludes: “As communications service providers, MVNOs know how much people prioritize being able to reach each other. Their expectations of customer service are the same. They crave a frictionless, on-demand experience – and they want to be able to access services on whichever channel they’re using. We’re excited to work with MVNOs across the globe to ensure these expectations are not only met, but exceeded.”

Airport WhatsApp Chatbot has Global Lift-off with Airbot Technology Ltd and Infobip

Director of Marketing EMEA

Zoha Tapia

Director of Marketing EMEA

London, UK – 18 May 2021: Travellers in airports across the globe can use WhatsApp to get flight information, sales offers and airport directions in seconds thanks to a partnership between Airbot Technology Ltd and Infobip.

The WhatsApp chatbots are already live at Gatwick, Dublin, Zurich and Riyadh airports, with more destinations expected to go live in the coming months.

Airport AI, the AI-powered customer service platform developed by Airbot Technology Ltd was integrated into Infobip’s WhatsApp for Business API to create the chatbots.

Pierre Cuquemelle, CEO at Airbot Technology Ltd, said: “Our Airport AI platform is trained with millions of conversations, making it easy for airports to answer passengers’ frequently asked questions quickly and efficiently. Updates on information such as flight times, departure gates and airport amenities can now be at passengers’ fingertips.

“Global airport spending on Landside Digital Transformation is expected to reach $4.6 billion by 2023, with many business leaders focusing on how they can leverage technology to improve customer service and passenger flow through the airport. WhatsApp chatbots should be considered a vital tool for doing exactly that.”

Nikhil Shoorji, Managing Director Europe at Infobip, adds: “Airbot Technology’s chatbot goes far beyond answering simple FAQs. The WhatsApp for Business service can be used to send push notifications, share promotional offers at duty free stores and provide contextual follow-ups. For example, if a passenger simply typed the word ‘pizza,’ the chatbot would reply with a list of all the airport restaurants serving this type of food and will follow-up by offering directions.

“WhatsApp is the perfect channel to reach passengers across the world. With two billion users across 180 countries globally, the channel will quickly become the go-to platform for businesses in the coming years. This partnership will help airports across the globe deliver the very best customer experience as they re-open their doors.”

From initial enquiry, airports can go live with their own WhatsApp chatbot within just two months.

Riyadh Airport became the first airport in the world to launch a WhatsApp chatbot last year. The entirely automated service is available in both English and Arabic and was used by 130,000 users in its first month. To date it has received an average customer feedback score of 4.5/5.

Business leaders at airports interested in launching their own WhatsApp chatbot should contact https://www.infobip.test/contact or https://www.airport.ai/.

In bringing together its complementary regional footprints and merging OpenMarket’s scale in the US with Infobip’s strengths outside the US, the combined company processes more than 14 billion monthly customer interactions across the full range of communication channels, in more than 190 countries around the globe.

By bringing Infobip’s expanded portfolio of products including SaaS solutions to the US, together with Infobip’s direct relationship with over 650 carriers worldwide, OpenMarket now offers new use cases and capabilities to meet the customer engagement needs of the most demanding enterprise customers anywhere in the world.

The Infobip and OpenMarket teams have also worked together in the initial stages of the integration to deliver several quick wins for OpenMarket’s customers, leveraging Infobip’s best-in-class global network to deliver immediate platform and functionality improvement. For instance, some OpenMarket customers have already experienced a 40% improvement in quality & performance KPIs.

Infobip has welcomed a talented team from OpenMarket into a combined company that offers new and exciting opportunities for all staff from both businesses. The new arrivals themselves bring a tremendous injection of invaluable specialist experience and skillsets across all workstreams that will contribute to the future success of the business.

Silvio Kutić, Founder and CEO of Infobip said: “Customer obsession has provided the North Star throughout the integration process. Customers are the driving force behind our exponential growth mindset. During this integration, we also made a point of investing in process definition and transformation to make it easier to incorporate new business locations, applications, and staff into our operations so we can rapidly bring new sources of value to our customers.”

He concludes: “The entire combined team is fully committed and invested in the long-term success of the enlarged business, and we are very pleased to invest in both brands as we accelerate our plans for global expansion.”

Comprising three main segments, Infobip and OpenMarket’s combined platform offers a full suite of APIs maximizing direct connectivity to all messaging channels; a solutions portfolio including a Contact Center as a Service, a marketing engagement hub, a chatbot building platform, and a connectivity platform for carriers that includes a rich firewall and other mobile identity features.
