Common Questions

Yes. Nowdesk integrates with subscription management platforms via API to access real-time subscriber data — current vehicle, plan tier, mileage used, renewal date, payment status. This enables personalised communications: mileage alerts reference the subscriber's actual current usage; upgrade campaigns are triggered by real usage patterns; renewal messages include the subscriber's specific plan details and personalised incentives.

New subscribers receive a step-by-step document submission sequence via WhatsApp — each message requests a specific document with clear instructions on format and what to photograph. Subscribers can upload documents directly in the WhatsApp conversation. The process tracks completion and sends reminders for missing items. When all documents are received and verified, the subscriber is automatically progressed to vehicle selection and handover scheduling — without manual operations team intervention for standard applications.

Mileage alert thresholds can be configured to notify subscribers at multiple points — typically when they reach 70%, 85%, and 95% of their monthly allowance. Each alert includes their current mileage balance and a direct link to purchase additional mileage. Subscribers who purchase additional mileage through the WhatsApp link avoid the per-kilometre overage charge — which is the most common source of billing surprise complaints and cancellation intent.

Yes. Corporate enquiries receive different qualification flows — fleet size requirements, company registration details, driver management needs, consolidated billing preferences — and route to a business development representative rather than through the self-serve individual subscriber activation process. Individual and corporate subscribers receive different ongoing communication flows appropriate to their account type while all conversations are managed from a single unified inbox.

Upgrade campaigns are triggered by usage signals and tenure milestones configured in the platform. Subscribers who consistently use their full mileage allowance receive an upgrade recommendation for a higher-tier vehicle with more included mileage. Subscribers who have been on the same vehicle for a configured tenure period receive new model availability alerts. Campaigns include a comparison of their current vehicle cost versus the upgrade option, making the value case clear rather than presenting an abstract upgrade suggestion.

Yes. Pause, downgrade, and cancellation requests received via WhatsApp trigger a structured retention conversation — understanding the reason and presenting alternatives (pausing instead of cancelling, downgrading instead of leaving) before processing the request. Subscribers who proceed with cancellation receive a structured offboarding sequence including vehicle return scheduling. Retention campaign success rates and reasons for cancellation are captured for reporting to help you reduce future churn.
