- Overview
The Messenger / Chat System is Biz1’s real-time communication engine, designed to connect users, teams, customers, and support staff inside one unified platform.
It replaces scattered communication across emails, WhatsApp, calls, and external tools by keeping every conversation linked directly to business data such as customers, projects, missions, invoices, and support tickets.
This ensures clarity, accountability, speed, and complete communication history.
- Why This System Exists (Business Value)
In most organizations:
-
Conversations happen outside the system
-
Important decisions get lost
-
Team members lack context
-
Customers receive delayed responses
The Messenger system solves this by:
✅ Centralizing all communication
✅ Linking chats to real business entities
✅ Enabling instant collaboration
✅ Improving customer experience
✅ Supporting automation and workflows
Result: Faster decisions, happier customers, and better team coordination.
