Small and large security companies and monitoring centers everywhere are growing in tandem with the multi-billion dollar growth of the security products and solutions industry. Because of this tremendous growth, many small to medium alarm companies who are growing their RMR are struggling every day to keep up with customer service workloads.
There are so many billing inquiries, service requests, and general “how do I stop this chirping from my alarm panel / smoke detector / (fill-in-the-blank product here) in the middle of the night” type of questions per day, to online sales inquires suddenly coming in from Google or Facebook Messenger that it’s hard to keep track of them all and respond quickly.
How do you, as a security professional trying to sell and install as many systems as possible and grow your RMR, deal with these challenges? For many alarm companies, particularly those with limited budget, time, and office staff, the answer is…”I’ll get to it when I get to it”. Sometimes in the middle of the night, or on a Sunday afternoon, or worse, a few days after the fact. Enterprise alarm companies and central stations aren’t immune to this challenge either.
Chat Apps Are Everywhere
Currently, there are dozens of different instant online messaging platforms that consumers all across the country prefer. The top apps by user count being being WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Apple Messages for Business, Twitter, and Google My Business just to name a few.
Chat apps enable users to instant message on mobile devices and computers, according to CM.com. As mobile devices became ubiquitous, so did the availability of digital communication channels. Worldwide, 2.52 billion people use messaging apps on mobile devices, with usage expected to reach 3 billion by 2022. Over-the-top (OTT) chat apps let users communicate without incurring data charges. As long as a user has access to a WiFi connection (rather than a mobile network carrier), chat communication is usually free.
OTT messaging apps are now the most popular smartphone apps, with almost 90% of global smartphone users utilizing at least one messaging app. This reality presents challenges for small to large electronic security companies alike as they try to find new ways to keep up with customer service demands.
