The power and might of the mobile is only continuing to grow, with industry experts saying yet again ‘This is the year of the mobile’ and businesses investing more time into getting their customers’ mobile experience right.

There is also lots of talk from businesses and thought leaders around customer experience, and how mobile can help improve this, which seems to be the hot topic of 2019. Customer service is made up of many aspects from support handling, appointment reminders to delivery updates or rich communication services (RCS) all of which contribute to having an amazing customer experience can be improved by the mobile phone.

Even SMS is getting a facelift in the form of RCS messaging. This new technology provides similar functionality to SMS but is a huge upgrade and step forward in its capabilities, challenging some major competitors in the likes of Whatsapp messaging and Apple Business Chat. Same amazing, unrivalled open and response rates, but mixed with rich amazing content and upgraded customer experience.
