You can now reply on the same screen, without even leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/platform\/transport-management-system\/\">Qargo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our new WhatsApp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/platform\/transport-management-system-integrations\/\">integration<\/a>, you can message your drivers directly from the platform. It\u2019s the fastest, easiest way to share updates, ask a question or receive a quick photo or PDF. No switching tabs or copying phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, how does it actually work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started, you just connect your WhatsApp Business Account to Qargo. Once it\u2019s set up, you\u2019ll see a WhatsApp icon next to every eligible driver or resource in the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, you can start a conversation from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The driver\u2019s profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The trip overview<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The planning view<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or anywhere you see a driver\/resource card<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each chat is tied to the driver, not just a single trip, so all your messages stay in one nice continuous thread. That means less clutter, easier tracking, and all the context you need, right where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>But why should we care?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, firstly, your planners will thank you for it. But there also won\u2019t be anymore tab juggling, as there\u2019s no need for a WhatsApp Desktop or personal phones. WhatsApp is already the messaging tool most drivers (including your subcontractors) are familiar with and use daily,&nbsp; so you\u2019re not asking them to download or learn something new. Plus everything will be in one safe place.&nbsp; Messages are stored in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qargo.com\/\">Qargo<\/a>, visible to your whole planning team and linked to the right resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s the cost- <em>in plain English please<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news: in many cases, it\u2019s completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a driver sends you a message first, you can reply and chat freely for 24 hours: no charge at all. Every time they reply again, the 24-hour window resets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you and your planners want to initiate the conversation, you\u2019ll send a pre-approved WhatsApp template message. That costs just \u20ac0.02 per message. That\u2019s charged by WhatsApp (Meta), not us at Qargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s it. You\u2019re in full control. You manage your own WhatsApp Business Account and payment method. Qargo doesn\u2019t charge anything extra or handle your message billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(how your message looks on Qargo)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"412\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-qw.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfhBvQz-GXlKK8ASxhdAGPZUCLc6acvhXbL3H7uhen8wc9OaFgZ2BR2SL7KpYpOZ2eEKzMFpNBhUdnyasAFCutNCn89SoicnWj0j32RGE3kQ5rGKoZ5VbhF3DYoqVPYw7j3_s5d?key=O0xkhTJ_jIqorfR1wBxmDQ\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"423\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-qw.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeoNL93-kd9t716XODOQPsIk3YTphL-JCOslHIUyj3GHYSNCwtfdYKqnnn4XYglcH3dSlWswUiBoMKNGCptRq5f7JytppY6au5COOZNmPEHDzxWCzqWw7PeNdGWQ4ObXnlgQdYt1Q?key=O0xkhTJ_jIqorfR1wBxmDQ\"><br><em>(how your message looks to your driver)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can my drivers send?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything you\u2019d expect in a normal WhatsApp chat!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Photos<\/strong>: to share delivery notes, damaged goods, signatures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PDFs<\/strong>: scanned PODs, job sheets, paperwork<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other supported media<\/strong>: anything WhatsApp allows<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attachments are available in Qargo for 7 days, giving your team plenty of time to download the important stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting started is easy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can be up and running in minutes.
