SUCCESS STORY #1

Scaling seamless customer support with 95% chatbot automation

The Challenge

Somethinc's previous vendor offered limited functionality and no local support, forcing a non-technical team to manually build, test, and maintain every chatbot flow. This created slow iterations, operational strain, and made scaling conversations across brands difficult without compromising customer experience.

The Solution

Insider One's dedicated local and global support empowered Somethinc to migrate its chatbot ecosystem with minimal friction. The unified platform allowed the team to manage WhatsApp Marketing and WhatsApp Conversational, including the "Diskon" campaign, within a single journey, ensuring automated flows, live support, and marketing messages all worked together at scale.

The Result

Insider One's unified chatbot orchestration enabled Hint to handle 775 chatbot sessions with only 42 requiring live agent handover, delivering a 95% automation rate. This dramatically reduced operational load, improved response quality, and proved a lean team could scale high-volume support across brands without adding headcount.

SUCCESS STORY #2

Driving real-time revenue through high-performing WhatsApp campaigns

The Challenge

Somethinc's customers were highly active on WhatsApp, but managing separate accounts for multiple brands created major operational complexity. Without a CDP, data remained siloed, resulting in inconsistent customer experiences and making it nearly impossible to scale personalized WhatsApp marketing efficiently.

The Solution

Insider One's WhatsApp Template and Campaign builders transformed WhatsApp into a fast, marketer-friendly channel. The lean CRM team could build and launch brand-specific campaigns in minutes using consistent templates, clear data views, and easy targeting, turning a technical bottleneck into a streamlined, high-intent customer engagement process.

The Result

WhatsApp campaigns delivered standout engagement at key commercial moments. The Payday Campaign reached a 90% open rate, the Twin Date Campaign achieved an 85% open rate, and a New Product Launch Campaign drove a 2.5% click-to-open rate, demonstrating that timely, relevant messaging on WhatsApp can consistently deliver strong CVR and CTR results.

SUCCESS STORY #3

Powering multi-brand email with a unified CDP and lean team

The Challenge

Somethinc's lean CRM team managed multiple distinct brands without a dedicated CDP, making meaningful segmentation impossible. Email was mostly used for broad broadcasts, limiting personalization, engagement, and the ability to optimize CVR and long-term customer value across the brand portfolio.

The Solution

Insider One became Somethinc's single source of truth, acting as a unified CDP across all brands. The team built granular segments, tailored strategies for both the flagship Somethinc brand and the niche Hint brand, and launched campaigns without complex technical setup, turning email into a high-performing, data-driven channel.

“Switching from MessageBird to Insider One gave Somethinc exactly what we needed: responsive local support and a single, intuitive platform for all brands. In just months, we scaled thousands of automated Web and WhatsApp conversations with a 95% chatbot automation rate, while WhatsApp campaigns reached up to 90% open rate and email campaigns delivered a 50% average open rate. Insider One turned our lean CRM team into a high-impact growth engine.”

The Result

The Somethinc brand achieved a 50% average email open rate across 125 campaigns, while Hint reached a 4.4% click-to-open rate.
