Plivo Benefits

Benefits

The main benefits of Plivo are its robust SMS capabilities, bulk messaging functionality, call functionalities, and can serve as a call center solution. Here are more details:

Robust SMS Capabilities

Plivio can send a minimum of 40 text messages per second, enabling users to send SMS to thousands of customers quickly. Text messages can be sent using short numbers called SMS shortcodes. These are the numbers that recipients will see on their phones when you send them messages using this platform. Since short numbers are easier to remember, they work very well when it comes to sending out messages for marketing a product or service.

Bulk Messaging 

Plivio comes with a messaging functionality that allows users to reach out to more customers fast. They can send out reminders or notifications to customers for their appointments, application invites, or events. This also helps in increasing the customer base. Apart from that, Plivio users are able to receive text messages from customers free of charge.

Call Functionality

Plivio comes with a conference app that can be used to make conference calls. This conference call application can be created using the platform’s app API. You only have to assign a number to the application and you will be able to call and connect the number to a conference call. If someone wants to join the call, they can simply dial the number assigned to the app.

Call Center Solution

Not only does Plivio can be used in sending text messages and making conference calls. It also serves as a call center solution which can be integrated into the existing phone system or call center software. With this platform, you can receive inbound calls and make outbound calls and even save information such as billing, call logs and call recordings. The platform offers support to various carriers including Cricket, Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile, and MetroPCS.
