What is Pendula?

Pendula drives the shift from broadcast to conversation by enabling two-way messaging and workflow at scale, allowing users to create, manage, and optimise digital customer experiences across every channel.

With no coding knowledge required and built on Zuora & Salesforce, Pendula supports automated two-way communication across SMS, email, social messaging and fax. It also enables outbound posts. Customers can see and take action on messages, whenever and wherever they are.

Beyond automating communication with Pendula, users can configure simple database actions and processes based on customer interactions and replies. Administrators can configure any kind of communication flow with the builder interface.

Criteria segmentation and event-based flows allow granular control over who gets what, and when. Drill down within a flow for targeted communications, and create journeys based on customer splits and segments.

Leverage existing investment in a customer relationship management or billing system with Pendula, which sits inside the platform. See every conversation you’ve ever had, with every customer, directly linked to data in Salesforce and Zuora.

Easy-to-use product; great customer success program

Pros

  • EOFY campaigns that drove limited time, limited release offers. We could segment our targets and engage those most likely to respond well.
  • Limited release wine offers, again targeting the right buyers, and then designing a series of interactions with them. This enabled sales reps to speak to those most warm.
  • Customer re-engagement. We have very many historical customers. We were able to reach 30,000 or so people and then lead them through several steps towards re-engagement.
  • Targeting smaller customer segments was made easy due to the deep integration with Salesforce. We could create campaigns to account owners of contacts that met criteria--which provided a deeply personal experience.

Cons

  • Navigating a variety of journeys can get tricky. They have been steadily improving the interface here.
  • Managing launch times and turning campaigns on and off can be cumbersome.
  • Naming, tagging, and cross-journey reporting would be great.
