Proactive updates mean fewer support contacts and happier customers.

In brief: Confirmations, shipping updates and delivery alerts. ZafeConnect provides A2P SMS, RCS and WhatsApp Business for this, connects to 190+ countries through direct operator connections, complemented by partner direct routes, and charges only for delivered messages.

Order confirmations, dispatch notices and delivery windows are among the most welcome messages a customer receives. Sent on time, they also reduce support contacts.

ZafeConnect lets you send them over SMS, RCS, chat apps, push and email from one integration, choosing the most cost-efficient delivery method.

What matters:
- **Timeliness:** Updates must follow the real status of the order.
- **Channel choice:** Customers prefer different channels.
- **Fallback:** If a rich channel is unavailable, another should take over.
- **Low cost per message:** Transactional volumes are high, so cost matters.

How ZafeConnect helps:
- **Cost-efficient routing:** RCS and iMessage first, then other methods, with savings of up to 40% compared with traditional SMS.
- **Many channels:** SMS, RCS, WhatsApp Business, push and email.
- **Two-way replies:** Customers can ask questions or reschedule.
- **Failover systems:** Delivery routes around network issues.

Typical flow:
1. Trigger: Your shop or logistics system fires an event.
2. Send: ZafeConnect delivers the update on the best channel.
3. Track: Delivery and engagement appear in your analytics.
