Business challenges

As a market leader managing multiple distinct brands, PT Central Mega Kencana (CMK) faced significant hurdles with fragmented, manual communication systems. Managing customer inquiries across various brands proved difficult for PT Central Mega Kencana (CMK). Key challenges included:

  • Inefficient manual systems – Each brand operated separate WhatsApp and Instagram accounts, restricted to a single device per brand.
  • Scattered customer data – Inquiries were logged manually in Google Sheets, making data retrieval difficult and prone to human error.
  • Delayed Responses – Slow response times led to potential customer drop-offs and a sub-optimal luxury experience.

“Prior to using Mekari Qontak, our customer communication was fragmented. We had to manage each brand on separate devices, rely on manual data entry, and deal with long wait times for our customers.”

Mekari Qontak as a solution

In early 2024, PT Central Mega Kencana (CMK) implemented Mekari Qontak to centralize its customer communications. Through omnichannel integration, all messages from WhatsApp, Instagram, and e-commerce platforms (Shopee and Tokopedia) are now managed within a single dashboard. By 2025, PT Central Mega Kencana (CMK) further enhanced this with AI chatbots to automate responses to common FAQs, drastically reducing wait times.

Key features like tagging and reporting now allow the team to organize inquiries, analyze customer trends, and refine service quality. Additionally, the WhatsApp Business API broadcast feature enables more effective promotions for events, store openings, and product launches. This seamless flow ensures customers are quickly directed to either online or offline channels based on their specific needs.

“Today, our inquiries are streamlined and organized. We can now respond to customers across all channels faster and more efficiently through one unified platform.”
