WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram are heavily used for sales, marketing campaigns, and customer communications. The Simla platform allows you to efficiently process requests from all three channels in a single workspace. Orders, contacts, interaction histories and other information are concentrated in one system. Using Simla allows you to control and monitor all chats, which has a positive effect on the speed of responses and the quality of service in general.

Simla is a tool for improving the efficiency of business communications and increasing sales conversion. Users of this platform get rich functionality to convert customer interest into a successful deal. “Order” is one of the key elements in the Simla structure. You can create orders in various ways: from the list of orders, from the customer card, during a call or chat. Records can be filtered and sorted by various parameters. From the order card, it is possible to send letters or messages, print documents, view history, etc.

Using the Simla service, you can efficiently process leads from different sources. For example, requests received through Facebook lead forms. It is important to process inquiries and orders from social networks as quickly as possible. The longer the user waits for feedback, the lower the probability of a successful deal. If you set up the integration of Facebook and Simla, you can provide automated transfer of data from the FB advertising account to the service for processing leads. Each new request from the social network will be quickly and without human intervention converted into an order in Simla.
