Airtel IQ will help businesses drive deeper customer engagement through seamless and secure communication delivered over the cloud. Swiggy, Urban Company, Justdial, Rapido, Havells among early customers.
Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”) is making its presence even stronger in the enterprise segment by introducing Airtel IQ. It is a cloud-based communication platform that enables secure and easy communication between customers and businesses. The communication platform can mask numbers, encrypt the data mentioned during the communication, and more when a customer gets in touch with the delivery agent (for instance) to get updates on food order.
Airtel IQ, a cloud-based omni-channel communications platform, enables brands to deepen engagement with customers through timely and secure communication. Take for example a customer ordering food through an online platform and calling the delivery agent to find out the status of her order. The entire communication is orchestrated seamlessly and securely over Airtel IQ. The communication is encrypted and all mobile/telephone numbers are masked.
A true game changer in the Indian enterprise communication segment, Airtel IQ eliminates the need for multiple communication platforms for different channels. With just a slice of code, businesses can embed communication services such as Voice, SMS, IVR in their applications and digital properties across desktop and mobile, all through a unified platform.
