Shortlist
We are proud to submit our entry on the Power of USSD in Solving Challenges for Ifakara Research Institutions. Beem has been instrumental in helping Ifakara Research Institution overcome significant challenges, including limited internet access, remote rural locations, language barriers, and limited dedicated devices and manpower.
Recently, we worked with Ifakara Research Institution on a project to collect data on how many citizens in Tanzania have received and perceived COVID-19 testing. This research was targeting 10,000 people in a remote rural area. The institution faced multiple challenges, including limited internet access, language barriers, and the need for a cost-effective solution.
USSD was the solution to these challenges. By leveraging its ability to operate without the need for an internet connection or dedicated devices, we were able to reach remote rural villages and engage with a diverse audience, regardless of language barriers. The use of USSD allowed us to deliver the project under budget and effectively communicate with participants to ensure the successful completion of the testing.
Our experience in utilizing USSD to solve these challenges and successfully deliver this important COVID-19 research project makes us a deserving candidate for this award.

Life Insurance Department at Covea Group
Covea Group is one of Europe’s largest insurance providers specializing in motor, home, health and protection, savings and pensions, reinsurance, and life. Their activities in the savings and retirement market forms part of a rational diversification that respects the interests of their members and customers.
Challenge: Low conversion rates and need for an end-to-end conversational customer experience
Digital transformation is central to the Covea Group, France’s largest insurance company, to provide the best possible customer experience across channels and platforms.
The Life Insurance Department at the Covea Group wanted to stand out in the marketplace by enhancing their existing SMS and Email marketing campaigns. Their goal was to move away from transactional and product-based communications and adopt an advanced conversational approach to engage with customers.
Read more
The Life Insurance Department at the Covea Group, for the brand MMA CAP, had previously run a campaign over SMS and Email for their life insurance products in 2020 and were looking to improve it further with a conversational marketing campaign over a single channel that would increase the conversion rate. The previous campaign saw customers receiving an email or SMS with a link to the landing page. Customers then had the option of interacting with a chatbot on the landing page. However, jumping between different channels led to low conversions rate and Life Insurance Department of Covea Group wanted to enhance this conversational experience by delivering it over one single channel.
The focus was to:
- Move from transactional to conversational communication channels
- Make the messaging around their retirement products more attractive to existing and prospective customers
- Increase awareness and appointments for their retirement products
- Move from a multichannel approach with SMS, email and landing page to omnichannel with the inclusion of RCS Business Messaging
Solution: An end-to-end conversational marketing campaign with omnichannel capabilities
To create a conversational marketing campaign across a variety of channels, Life Insurance Department of Covéa Group needed a communication platform that could:
- leverage their customer data to create personalized campaigns,
- integrate a lead generation chatbot,
- and automate messaging flows.
That’s where Infobip’s omnichannel cloud communication platform came in. Our expertise in RCS, email and SMS, powered by our customer engagement solution Moments, customer data platform People CDP and chatbot building platform Answers, gave Life Insurance Department at Covea Group the perfect environment to experiment and build an effective campaign.
The conversational marketing journey
Life Insurance Department at Covea Group found a simple solution with Infobip, empowering them to experiment with maximum agility in the construction of the campaign.
- Personalized messaging: Life Insurance Department had already segmented their customers based on age, income, and current packages. People CDP fed this segmented data into the platform and allowed them to create automated flows within Moments that delivered personalized messages.
- Omnichannel setup: Infobip helped Life Insurance Department of Covéa Group implement RCS Business Messaging, giving them a channel that had the same conversational interface of chat apps. RCS provided an unobtrusive conversational experience over Android devices. It allowed the target audience to engage with the message via an interactive quiz to educate them on the product, assess their needs and enable them to show interest and get contacted by an agent – all within the same channel.
Customers could choose answers that were displayed via a carousel and were sent through an appropriate flow dependent on the option they chose. For customers who reached the end of the quiz and were happy to be contacted by an agent, an email was triggered via Moments to an advisor, prompting an immediate call back.
The interactive quiz over RCS was setup via our customer engagement solution Moments that triggered the questions based on customer intent and replies.
For those who could not receive RCS messages or opted out, a seamless switch over to SMS was triggered via Moments along with an email notification.
• Conversational chatbot: The SMS and Email campaign directed customers to a landing page where they could show interest in subscribing to the insurance plan. A conversational chatbot guided them through the process thanks to Infobip’s Live Chat powered by Answers.
Results: 11% conversion rate with a conversational marketing approach
The campaign targeted 15,000 customers, of which 20% were reached via RCS. The omnichannel setup ensured that undelivered RCS messages were sent via SMS, and for customers that didn’t have a mobile number an Email was sent. This ensured high deliverability of messages.
A similar campaign in 2020 over email resulted in a 44.74% open rate and a conversion rate of only 0.05%. While Email worked well for transactional communications when it comes to lead generation, a conversational experience across the entire customer journey delivered better results.
With an objective of nurturing leads, Life Insurance Department at Covéa Group saw an increased conversion rate via RCS’s conversational experience – with 11% of customers asking for a call back and only one unsubscribe request.
The rich media capabilities of RCS allowed for the insertion of the brand logo that provided reassurance, trust, and increased brand awareness.Creating an end-to-end campaign on a single channel allowed the Life Insurance Department to provide enhanced conversational experiences and reduced the chances of losing a customer midway through their journey.
In addition to providing the channels and the technical know-how, Infobip was also able to provide customer experience consultancy and implementation services, thanks to a local team that had hands-on insight into the customer’s needs and was able to provide a dedicated consultant to deliver a personalised and cost-effective solution.
Infobip’s communication platform empowered Life Insurance Department’s team to implement RCS with maximum agility. The portal made it easy for them to make real-time adjustments during the campaign with our intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

Lastly, the solution needed to provide the capability of onboarding new customers with the verification process included.
Infobip was able to provide beIN Media with a wide range of services available via its CPaaS platform, along with its business messaging tools and ML-powered chatbot technology.
The Infobip Answers chatbot solution was used to build 10 separate chatbots for multiple queries, and was made available over WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, Instagram Business, Facebook Messenger and Twitter Direct Messages.
Chatbots were used for the initial engagement with the subscriber over a messaging app, handling the main questions and clarifying the main requirement of the customer through multiple questions and reply options.Once the chatbot determined the requirement of the user and whether the user was an existing or new subscriber, a human agent took over the conversation with the user. This is where the Conversations contact centre solution came into play, and through the combination of chatbots and the cloud-based contact centre, Infobip was able to deliver the capabilities and the results beIN Media was looking for.
The campaign registered over 22.5 million customer interactions from November 1, 2022, up to end of January 2023, with the bulk of the interactions coming in during the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar. The partnership between beIN Media and Infobip continues and is expected to continue producing good results for the client.

TGS Omnichannel messaging solution allowed QueroQuitar to launch and interact with their customers through multiple channels (RCS and SMS)in a coordinated and consistent manner. The goal was to offer the user a seamless and consistent experience, regardless of the channel they chose to communicate through. This solution also collected and used information about customers’ interactions through the different channels, allowing them to offer a more personalized and relevant service,
TGS solution was integrated with QueroQuitar systems to extract real time information to create a personalized offer (using several connections with Banks). Using the MSISDN, the system extracted information from different databases and systems to generate a fully personalized offer in real time.
The offer was immediately sent to the user by RCS or SMS (although the platform also allows the use of different channels such as email, MMS, OTTs, etc).
Once the customer accepted the offer, the system sent an invoice document using RCS. In this way, it ensured that the user remained within the messaging channel from the first message until the point of receiving the invoice.
The campaign achieved amazing results:
RCS Users Impacted 9,737
RCS Delivered Rate 99.41%
SMS Users Impacted 9,176
SMS Delivered Rate 67.86%
Only in the RCS channel 11 agreements were signed within the first hour. RCS technology presented an increase of 108% of agreements signed over the SMS campaign.

Activating NeuAPIX in BATIC 2022
The success story of NeuAPIX that we want to share in this nomination is how it successfully integrated all communication into a single platform in our annual global telco event, Bali Annual Telkom International Conference (BATIC) 2022.
The event took place at Hilton Bali Resort, Nusa Dua, Bali on 21-23 September 2022 with the theme of Reconnecting Regions, Reviving Digital Ecosystems.
We oversaw the needs of using Telin NeuAPIX with consideration of the significant growth of internet and social media users. People become more accustomed to using social media or instant messaging to communicate in an effective way. We need to provide omnichannel communication for more availability, drive event participation, and integrate digital touchpoints.
Previously, especially before the pandemic, communication for an event mainly depends on the website and email marketing. But now, there is an increasing demands from audiences to communicate through their preferred channels. By providing omnichannel communication, it was by far proven to improve customer experiences and engagement with the delegates and be a success story how omnichannel communication worked for event management.
For BATIC 2022, we divided the communication channels into three groups which are basic (website and email marketing), social media, and mobile app. By leveraging Telin NeuAPIX, we added more channels in social media, they are WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram; and integrated them all into a single platform.
We considered these three social platforms since they are the most popular social media platform, including in the Indo-Pacific region as BATIC’s target audiences.
By using Telin NeuAPIX, we provided a single built-in AI chatbot for BATIC 2022, named "Briana". We leveraged human + AI capability in Telin NeuAPIX to provide a better customer experience for BATIC’s audiences. This persona was presented on BATIC website (www.batic.events) and Telin’s official social media (WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram).
Briana’s role during the three phases of BATIC events which include Pre-Event, During Event, and Post-Event were:
(1) Answered any inquiries through any channels,
(2) Supported multiple customers inquiries simultaneously on different channels,
(3) Presented and being active 24/7/365 in multiple languages supported by Natural Language Processing (NLP), and
(4) Conducted seamless handover to human agents as necessary.

BATIC 2022 has successfully attracted 675+ delegates, and 190+ global companies from 30+ countries.

When pandemic brought the world to a screeching halt in early 2020, the event industry’s prospects appeared uncertain. But always resilient and innovative, the event industry is already adapting. The successful implementation of omnichannel communication in this big global event has opened new opportunities to offer Telin NeuAPIX to a new industry, which is the event industry and become the revolutionary improvement in how the event organizer provides a better participants’ communication handling.

The global A2P business messaging presents one of the most powerful communication channels to connect enterprise businesses to consumers. Although this market is growing yearly, MNOs are still struggling to monetize their full potential, while experiencing a decline in the traditional revenue sources of P2P traffic. In addition, they are facing steep competition from messaging aggregators, who can offer enterprise customers more comprehensive messaging support through CPaaS platforms. MNOs are not only losing new business, but the retention of key accounts is also under severe threat.
TOMIA A2P Messaging service enables MNOs to reclaim ownership of the messaging ecosystem to potentially generate 2-digit revenue growth. MNOs can leverage their unique access to their subscriber base, identify core network advantages and formulate commercial strategies to attract enterprises directly. TOMIA A2P Messaging solves the business complexity and operational inefficiencies inherent to this market, which allows seamless onboarding of enterprises and easy access to service. The A2P Messaging platform usually starts by solving the A2P business relationships and then, extends it to the messaging routing to allow the termination of more SMS messages to their subscribers and trading with key partners’ MNOs for the off-net traffic.

A leading Brazilian mobile network operator (MNO) deployed Grow as a managed service to increase the LTV of subscribers by upgrading users from pre- to post-paid plans. This had to be done cost-effectively, decreasing overreliance on call-centres and physical stores. With great customer experience a core value for the MNO, it also needed to avoid being viewed by subscribers as spam.
In response, Upstream introduced a multi-channel strategy mostly through channels owned by the operator, which would involve no cost to deploy, such as SMS, RCS, email and the operator’s zero-rated data rewards platform (also built by Upstream).
Upstream also deployed automated same-day retargeting requiring zero manual effort and managed through Grow. With Grow, the MNO could send automated RCS and SMS messages or emails, at the right time and through the preferred channel of users who had dropped out of the funnel but had already shown interest with incentives to upgrade plans. Through this, the mobile operator secured 785,000 plan upgrades in just 6 months, with 49% of them via automated retargeting messages. For the period under review, Upstream’s campaign contributed 25% of total post-paid sales.
Automated same-day retargeting increased campaign efficiency by 90% compared to manual retargeting, resulting in 386% more orders. Grow also enabled the MNO to deep dive into performance. Upstream ran hundreds of A/B tests across different channels for the MNO to optimise customer journeys and use the creatives (copy & design) that proved to be the most engaging and likely to lead to a conversion. Messaging spam was also significantly reduced, with the MNO sending 47% fewer messages to achieve the same results as manual retargeting.
Upstream’s mobile marketing platform explained:
From just one platform, Grow enables MNOs, advertisers and ecommerce brands to orchestrate a highly effective mix of push and pull channels, text-based and rich-media, to achieve an omni-channel strategy of consistent, targeted and personalized messaging. Grow makes it possible to set dynamic user journeys according to individual user profiles and behaviours. Its key features are:
1. The Campaign Studio where clients can create dynamic, multi-channel journeys, without any coding experience, in drag-and drop fashion
2. The Marketing Automation capability allowing advertisers to automate marketing flows per customer to achieve customized purchase paths
3. The Audience Management feature allowing businesses to source, manage, define, analyze and activate customer data for more accurate campaign execution
4. The Channel Orchestration tool giving advertisers the power to create flexible channel strategies that meet their goals and deliver customer value.
5. The Insights and Analytics features putting massive amounts of data to work so businesses can hone campaigns to make them increasingly efficient over time
6. The Ad-fraud Prevention feature protecting advertisers’ budgets by reducing ad fraudThe platform invests in building one-on-one relationships between brands and their customers, without reliance on third parties. As such, Grow, helps Upstream’s clients build up their contactable opt-in base, in several ways, like through its online user identification feature technology, Mobile Identity, or pop-up campaigns, which incentivize users to share their details with rewards. These opt-in bases can then be used to send broadcast or personalized messages, retargeting messages or show personalized banners.
New platform features include AI-enabled optimisation, so that ads are automatically served with the best performing message (through automated split testing), via the best performing channel, during the moment that is most likely to trigger a conversion. Also, a fallback mechanism is now included. This serves the user with a next best offer or a next best channel, in case the user doesn’t engage with a particular channel or doesn’t seem interested in a specific offer. The platform also allows for real time, event triggered communications, every time a user interacts with a brand.
In addition to the strength of its ad-serving and channel orchestration capabilities, leading brands choose Grow over other CRM, CEP and CPaaS competitors due to its flexibility, intuitive UX, ease of integration with existing data managements sources and economical pricing.

Today, with locations across the U.S., the retailer offers more than 10,000 products designed to transform lives through the power of organization.
The back-to-school season is a pivotal time for The Container Store. To stay ahead of the competition in this space, the company focused on amplifying its digital-first strategy and updating its loyalty program to target college-aged students and parents. It decided to create an app to attract and retain more of these customers through push messaging and Mobile Wallet.
The team at Container Store wanted to enable SMS & MMS messaging to ensure that the app and promotional offers would be used by customers during the three-month campaign. Specifically, it looked to guarantee that the new app would be a channel for purchases and communication. In addition, the Container Store hoped to attract and retain omnichannel shoppers, where the message follows users from the device to the channel to in-store purchases.
Overall, The Container Store wanted to elevate the mobile experience for college-aged students by expanding mobile channels, and also increasing mobile attributed revenue for its program.
