Guest Connect, Tailored RCS Software Tool for Enterprises, Elevates Customer Communications with Rich Messaging via Vonage APIs

Breaking Barriers to Provide Direct, Engaging Communication

To overcome these hurdles and deliver a reliable, scalable messaging platform, Guest Connect teamed up with Vonage. By leveraging RCS and SMS via Vonage Messages API, Guest Connect not only transformed its offerings but also empowered businesses to launch effective, modern messaging campaigns without technical expertise. This partnership has underscored how the right technology can drive meaningful change for businesses and their customers alike.

Transparent and Reliable Messaging

While SMS was effective in reaching customers, Guest Connect saw untapped potential in RCS messaging to provide richer, interactive experiences. Traditional advertising channels like social media and newspapers lacked the immediacy and personal connection businesses craved.

However, while moving to integrate RCS messaging in their overall solution, Guest Connect identified some roadblocks in the quest to provide seamless, impactful messaging for businesses. Additionally, acquiring verified RCS accounts from mobile operators proved to be a cumbersome and manual process, delaying the rollout of new features.

Vonage Messages APIs provided the robust foundation that Guest Connect needed to expand its services and overcome its operational challenges.

“Our experience with Vonage underscores the importance of choosing the right technology partner,” said Leuart Isufi, CEO, Guest Connect. “By addressing our challenges with tailored solutions, Vonage became a key enabler in Guest Connect’s growth and transformation. From affordable pricing to stellar support and advanced messaging capabilities, Vonage is helping us provide more direct connections for a richer and more interactive customer experience.”

Improved Business Communication and Outstanding Results

Guest Connect turned to Vonage for a messaging solution that was flexible, powerful, and easy to integrate. Vonage’s SMS and RCS channels provided the robust foundation that Guest Connect needed to expand its services and overcome its operational challenges.

By utilizing Vonage’s user-friendly APIs, Guest Connect developed a messaging dashboard that didn’t require their business clients to have software developers on staff. Companies could send campaigns effortlessly, without worrying about backend complexities. Vonage offered tools to track message delivery and read receipts, enabling Guest Connect to provide businesses with valuable insights into their campaigns. These analytics allowed timely intervention to address delivery issues and offered transparency to build trust.

Isufi said, “With Vonage's advanced infrastructure, we were able to guarantee that our customers’ messages were delivered reliably. Their delivery tracking and detailed logs also equipped us to troubleshoot effectively and improve overall service quality.”

Guest Connect successfully expanded its offerings to include RCS messaging alongside its SMS services. Campaigns using RCS boasted impressive click rates of 47%, reflecting the enhanced engagement opportunities that rich messaging enables. Competitive pricing without sacrificing quality enabled Guest Connect to lower its operational costs while still delivering premium results to its clients.

Having established a strong presence in nine European countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Guest Connect is preparing for global expansion. Plans are in place to create English-centric platforms to attract users in non-German-speaking markets.

Isufi added “Thanks to Vonage, we’ve built a bridge between powerful APIs and ease of use. This partnership ensures that businesses, regardless of technical prowess, can launch successful, impactful campaigns.”
