Avochato

SMS texting and live chat for sales, support & ops teams

About Avochato

Avochato is a cloud-based text/SMS messaging and live chat solution aimed at sales, support, and marketing teams, which allows users to send, receive, manage, and collaborate on messages from customers. The system can also be used to manage communication with field agents and remote workforces, including cleaners, technicians, inspectors, and healthcare professionals.

Avochato provides distinct, unique phone numbers for sending and receiving messages, allowing users to communicate from their own mobile devices without revealing their personal phone number. The text tree can route inbound messages to the correct department, and conversations can be assigned to different users, prioritized, flagged, and escalated as necessary. All messages received in Avochato are displayed in the web dashboard and in the native iOS and Android apps, allowing users to respond from wherever they are. Users can also create automated response templates to keep customers informed outside of working hours.

Avochato can be incorporated into existing IVR systems or phone trees, enabling customers to self-resolve issues, and escalating to an agent if necessary. Integration with Salesforce, Desk.com, and Slack allows users to send messages to customers from within different applications. Avochato can also be used for inbound and outbound calls, using the dedicated phone numbers provided.

    I love them and the team are incredibly responsive, and they've opened up a whole new channel for us to engage with our customers/constituents

    Pros

    Amazing, intuitive user interface. No technical background needed to implement. Amazingly thoughtful and responsive team, with a growing product that will only get better. Avochato made having a unified SMS front for our constituents super easy.

    Cons

    Sometimes it's hard to find old conversations while using the mobile version of the app, but that might be user error

    We are reaching lots of individuals quickly. Avochato support is quick to respond via text or email when issues arise.

    Pros

    I liked it being user friendly and that it meets the demands for our company. I like how Avochato is willing to work with us to make it better and more personalized for our type of business.

    Cons

    The app does not load fast enough for us to look for the information we need if we are out and about. The app has crashed and difficult in times when we need to make phone calls.

    Average Avochato

    Reviewed on 2018/11/16

    Pros

    Avochato works well for our company because all of the conversations are synced with Salesforce and allow everyone to see conversations.

    Cons

    I do not like that you can't send pictures via the app. You also cannot put someone on speaker phone when you call from the app. Sometimes it takes a long time to receive voicemails. I know that I have one waiting, but it won't let me listen to it.

    We have seen an immediate change is speed of response for seasonal employees who are typically of college / millennial age who are always on their phones and not their email.

    Pros

    Avochato and it's API integration has been gaming changing for both our customer acquisition and seasonal employee hiring.

    Cons

    Honestly not much, it's the perfect tool for us.
