Give shippers and consignees a WhatsApp path for logistics intake and support
WhatsApp chat can handle shipment status, booking intake, and document FAQs where your team already messages shippers and consignees.
What is logistics & shipping whatsapp chat automation?
A logistics WhatsApp chat agent handles customer-started messaging for shipment status, booking intake, and document FAQs, then escalates topics involving customs legal advice or unapproved rate commitments to dispatch and customer success. Keep a familiar messaging channel for logistics without unsupervised advice.
