Client Overview
- Client Name: QwikTalks
- Industry: WhatsApp Cloud API Services Provider (SaaS)
- Website: https://qwiktalks.com/
- Business Focus: Providing a scalable, multi-user CRM solution built on the official WhatsApp Cloud API, enabling businesses to manage customer conversations, automation, and lead generation at scale.
Project Overview
QwikTalks approached us with a dual objective: to design and build a robust, production-ready WhatsApp Cloud API CRM platform, and concurrently, to develop a high-converting, feature-showcasing business website that would serve as the primary sales engine for their new SaaS product.
The primary deliverables were:
- A fully functional, secure, and real-time WhatsApp Cloud API CRM for client management and messaging, including core features like Live Chat, Campaign Management, and advanced Chatbot tooling.
- A corporate website dedicated to effectively communicating the software’s benefits, use cases, and subscription model to a B2B audience.
Challenges
The project faced several high-stakes challenges common in the highly regulated and complex conversational commerce industry:
- Technical Integration & Scalability: Building a high-performance CRM to integrate seamlessly with the WhatsApp Cloud API, handling high volumes of real-time message traffic without latency or drops. This specifically required architecting the platform to support multi-agent systems and high-volume campaign broadcasting.
- Marketing the Abstract: Translating the technical benefits of a complex API into clear, compelling, and benefit-driven content on the website that clearly explains the ROI for various business use cases.
- Compliance Complexity: Ensuring the CRM architecture and all anticipated messaging templates adhered strictly to Meta’s (Facebook’s) WhatsApp Business Platform policies to safeguard against non-compliance issues or account suspension. This necessitated dedicated Template Management workflows.
- Conversion Optimization: Designing a website structure and user journey (UX) that quickly guides visitors from awareness to subscribing, including secure payment gateway integration and a streamlined Embedded Signup process.
Our Strategy & Approach
We executed a parallel development strategy, with one team focusing on product (CRM) development and another on the marketing engine (Website), ensuring both were built on a foundation of security and conversion-focused design.
- 1. Product Architecture: Adopted a modern, robust tech stack for stability and performance. PHP Laravel was selected for its enterprise-level security and efficient API handling on the backend, while React was leveraged for the frontend to deliver a fast, interactive, single-page application experience for the CRM dashboard and real-time chat interface.
- 2. Conversion-Focused Web Design: Utilized the power and flexibility of WordPress, Astra Theme Pro, and Elementor Pro Plugin to rapidly construct a visually appealing and responsive website. The site structure was meticulously planned to prioritize the value proposition above the fold, followed by specific use cases, feature breakdowns, and clear Calls to Action (CTAs).
- 3. Integrated Revenue Stream: Incorporated the Razor Pay Payment Gateway directly into the website’s subscription flow, providing a secure, reliable, and smooth path for clients to purchase the new CRM service, supported by internal Plan Management tools.
Implementation
The project was executed in three concurrent phases, ensuring rapid time-to-market for QwikTalks:
- CRM Development (Laravel & React):
- Core Messaging Platform: Setup of the core Laravel RESTful API backend for user authentication and webhook integration. Developed the React-based Live Chat shared inbox and a robust Agent System enabling assignment, monitoring, and real-time collaboration for efficient customer support.
- Marketing & Compliance Tools: Implemented compliant Template Management for Meta-approved message submissions. Created the Campaign Management feature to allow bulk, personalized messages to segmented Contact Management lists, complete with real-time delivery analytics.
- Automation Layer: Engineered an Interactive Multi-Setup Chatbot with a visual flow builder for non-technical users. Integrated modular support for advanced AI Bot Integration via Webhooks to handle complex queries and intent recognition.
- Enterprise Integration: Developed a comprehensive REST API & Webhook infrastructure to allow seamless data synchronization and custom workflow triggers with client CRMs and third-party applications.
- Website Development (WordPress & Elementor Pro):
- Custom design and development of the site structure on WordPress, focusing on responsiveness and mobile-first aesthetics.
- Creation of dedicated pages for Features, Pricing, and Use Cases, using Elementor Pro for dynamic, non-technical feature showcases.
- Implemented the Embedded Signup flow to drastically reduce API connection setup time for new users.
- Payment Gateway Integration:
- Seamless integration of the Razor Pay Payment Gateway for subscription processing and billing management, ensuring secure and compliant financial transactions, linked to the internal Plan Management system for usage tracking.
