We shaped external and internal communication easily with the WhatsApp Business in our whole organization. Its features are extremely beneficial, and small businesses, like ours, frequently make use of them. When compared to the standard/regular WhatsApp, the WhatsApp Business edition has a few key differences. Intuitive usability meets innovative productivity in this software package. On the surface, the two applications appear to be nearly identical. But the Business app has a “B,” which is a speech bubble. We’ll know we are talking to a business because it lists us as a corporate account. It offers clients peace of mind knowing they are dealing with a reputable business. The company’s profiles are available on the site and serve additional details. For the sake of convenience, we can implement directions and include our address and location on this page. In terms of hours and summaries, WhatsApp Business lends us an excellent overview of our business.

Great for small or medium businesses
Whatsapp business is currently used by our sales team at Wipro. It addresses the problem of not having a personal and professional relationship with a client at the same time. It is usually used to interact with a client and ask about their preferences regularly regarding a certain product requested by them.
- Most of the clients are on WhatsApp since it is so famous. This removes the hassle of telling a client to download a special software just so we can communicate with them without interruptions.
- Can send virtually all kind of data through chats.
- Ease of use: It is really easy to use for both the business and the clients, even with not so tech-savvy people.
- Selling goods is even easier due to whatsapp pay.
- It has an API, which makes interacting with customers faster and easier. One can even send programmed messages through this.
- UI is terrible for retrieving a large number of messages. It takes a lot of time to reach previous messages of clients, though there are options like starred or search that does allow one to reach a particular message directly.
- Only one business account is allowed that is active on only one phone which makes it hard for a big company.
- Security is an issue as it is owned by Facebook and Facebook does track and keep a record of phone number and other information which could be confidential.

WhatsApp Business, Speed and Practicality
I had the opportunity to install and configure WhatsApp Business in a school to facilitate interaction between parents, students, teachers, and the school's administration. Specific groups were created, one for each class, according to the level of education, which facilitated the availability of virtual teaching
material as well as the monitoring of printed material. It was one of the first tools we applied in this moment of social distancing.
- Some unique characteristics, hardly found in similar tools, are speed and practicality, which enable a more humanized and rapid service for the client.
- Another fundamental point is the mobility of communication, especially in the case of home-office work. Communication between employees, clients, and managers is almost instantaneous.
- The possibility of adding important information, such as an address, website, email, working hours, and the segment of activity is necessary for companies to offer an increasingly professional service.
- As a suggestion, it would be good to pay better attention to the quality of the links, especially when made on video.
- If there is no waiting at the time of using the application, it is very likely that you have the opposite effect: instead of engaging your client, you end up pushing them away.
