Your customers message you via Zalo , comment on Facebook , send emails , and chat on your website . You have to open four different apps to reply — and sometimes you reply to the same person twice, or forget to reply altogether.

The Multi-Channel Problem for SMEs

Small businesses in Vietnam typically receive messages from 3-4 different channels :

Channel Utilization rate Characteristic
Zalo 90% Channel #1 in Vietnam, direct chat with customers.
Facebook Messenger 80% Customers inquire via Fanpage.
E-mail 60% B2B customers, large orders
Live Chat website 30% Customers browsing the web, asking quick questions.

Problems with individual management:

  • Opening Zalo on your phone, Facebook on your computer, and email on Gmail—switching back and forth is time-consuming.
  • Employee A responded on Zalo, employee B responded on Facebook, but it's unclear whether the customer has received assistance yet.
  • A customer messages you on Zalo in the morning and emails you in the afternoon → you don't realize it's the same person.
  • No reports available: how many messages per day? average response time? which channel gets the most customers?

GTG CRM offers Unified Inbox , which centralizes all messages from all channels into a single interface.
