SeeChat will revolutionize customer service with the potential to power 1.4 million SMEs. Digital directories and e-commerce powered by SeeChat transform business to consumer communication and lead generation with chat and unified social media engagement. The platform is unique because most directories today are discovery platforms - one can find a business online but cannot interact with them instantly (besides landlines). However, SeeChat changes it, says Sekar. "We enable consumers to not only find a business on the directory but instantly chat with the local businesses without needing to know the local business mobile number," he says. "Each directory provider today has 100,000 to 500,000 listed local businesses and strong local business relations," says Swami Sekar, CEO, SeeChat. "We help these directory providers go digital, increase their revenue, and provide enhanced offerings that make lives of local business owners easier when reaching to new age consumers." SeeChat powers and brings digital directories to life with integrated messaging and payment solutions to help businesses get discovered, connect, and transact with customers from one platform. Around 180,000 local SMEs make up 99% of the enterprises in Singapore and contribute to nearly half of the GDP while employing 70% of the workforce, says Sekar. Globally, this number is more than 100 million businesses. These companies are facing huge pressure to reinvent their operating model with a need to ‘go digital,’ engage the mobile customer, and boost their productivity. Otherwise, they risk getting disrupted by app-economy and e-commerce players that are digital and available anytime.
