  • Twilio's high reliability helped us ensure we provide the best communication services to our customers.
  • Twilio is capable of doing things that no other single platform can do. This helped us globalize Twilio's usage across our entire firm and save a huge amount of money that we used to spend procuring, implementing, and managing multiple platforms.
  • Cohesive nature of Twilio helped us integrate our applications and systems with Twilio and most of the integrations were simple because of the rich API support of Twilio.

  • Is cheaper to use WhatsApp Business through Twilio so yes we are saving.
  • Having implemented a register/login and CRM through Whatsapp increase the acquisition of customers and makes easier the UX when using our product and is reflected in decreasing our CAC.
  • As said before it could have a bigger impact if we have access to local numbers for whatsapp in Mexico since it might help us to increase or ROI.

  • More testing is needed but so far it seems to drive a modest lift in applications submitted
  • We also saw a modest increase in call center traffic from SMS campaigns.
  • More targeted messaging at time slots better suited for consumers to take action, should produce an increase in lift.

  • Our ROI was improved compared to our previous providers. Twilio Voice fees are very reasonable comparing with similar alternatives.
  • We can add easily new phone numbers for as little as US$1 for newcomers and offices, just with the click of a button inside Twilio admin console.
