Emojis to E-Commerce

A thumbs-up emoji today, a confirmed order tomorrow. Businesses are using WhatsApp to showcase products, handle payments, and make transactions feel as easy as texting your BFF.

From O2O to OMO: Human-Computer Integration in Action

Gone are the days of simple O2O (Online-to-Offline) models. Today's businesses have entered the era of OMO (Online-Merge-Offline), where the boundaries between online and offline blur to create a unified, consumer-centric experience.

With Human-Computer Integration (HCI), businesses must adapt to meet consumers where they are—on their phones, in stores, or across multiple platforms simultaneously. WhatsApp, with its real-time communication and seamless integration capabilities, has become the ultimate tool to bridge this gap.
