They\u2019re opening WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And your <strong>dispatchers<\/strong> are stuck juggling phones, computers, spreadsheets, and the TMS to reply and keep everyone updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But all of that is about to change. You can now reply on the same screen, without even leaving Qargo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our new WhatsApp integration, you can message your drivers directly from the platform. It\u2019s the fastest, easiest way to share updates, ask questions, or receive a quick photo or PDF. No <strong>switching apps<\/strong> or copying phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does it actually work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started, 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 <strong>trip overview<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>dispatch view<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anywhere you see a driver or 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 continuous thread. That means less clutter, easier tracking, and all the context you need, right where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does this matter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, your <strong>dispatchers<\/strong> will thank you. There\u2019s no more <strong>app-juggling<\/strong>, because there\u2019s no need for WhatsApp Desktop or personal phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WhatsApp is already the messaging tool most drivers (including your <strong>subcontractors<\/strong>) use daily, so you\u2019re not asking them to download or learn something new. Plus, everything stays in one secure place. Messages are stored in Qargo, visible to your whole <strong>dispatch team<\/strong>, and linked directly to the right resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s the cost? (In plain English, please)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news: in many cases, it\u2019s completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inbound Chats:<\/strong> If a driver messages you first, you can reply and chat freely for 24 hours at <strong>no charge at all<\/strong>. Every time they reply, that 24-hour window resets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outbound Chats:<\/strong> If your <strong>dispatchers<\/strong> initiate the conversation, you\u2019ll send a pre-approved WhatsApp template message. This costs approximately <strong>$0.02 per message<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Direct Billing:<\/strong> These fees are charged by WhatsApp (Meta), not by Qargo. You\u2019re in full control. You manage your own WhatsApp Business Account and payment method\u2014Qargo doesn\u2019t charge extra or handle your message billing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can my drivers send?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anything you\u2019d expect in a normal WhatsApp chat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Photos:<\/strong> Share <strong>Proof of Delivery (POD)<\/strong>, damaged freight, or signatures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PDFs:<\/strong> Scanned paperwork, <strong>load sheets<\/strong>, or documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other Media:<\/strong> Anything WhatsApp supports.<\/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 files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting started is easy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can be up and running in minutes. Just head to your <strong>organization settings<\/strong> in Qargo and add your WhatsApp Business Account. Once you\u2019re connected, you\u2019ll see the WhatsApp icon next to your drivers across the platform\u2014whether you\u2019re viewing a trip, a <strong>load<\/strong>, or the <strong>dispatch screen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No new apps. No disruption. Just better communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enable WhatsApp integration now via your Knowledge Hub!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Not part of the Qargo TMS platform yet?
