SmartBDM vs Interakt

WhatsApp commerce is one piece. Selling needs the whole system.

Interakt is a tidy WhatsApp commerce and engagement tool for SMBs. But your pipeline, your calling and your follow-up still live elsewhere. SmartBDM gives you the WhatsApp inbox, marketing and an AI pre-qualifier inside a full AI sales platform — priced per lead, not per WhatsApp agent.

  • WhatsApp inbox + marketing + AI pre-qualifier
  • Inside a real CRM — not a standalone tool
  • AI voice calling + voice-to-CRM too
  • Priced per lead, not per WhatsApp agent
  • A full app on Web, iOS & Android

What Interakt gets right

Interakt does WhatsApp commerce well

For SMBs selling over WhatsApp, it covers the commerce basics capably.

Built for WhatsApp commerce

Catalogs, notifications, shared inbox and automation aimed at small businesses selling over WhatsApp — a focused, approachable product for that job.

SMB-friendly and quick to start

It's designed to get a small team live on the WhatsApp Business API fast, without a heavy setup.

Backed by the Jio Haptik / Fynd family

It sits within a larger, established group, which lends it scale and credibility as an official WhatsApp BSP.

The difference that matters

A WhatsApp commerce tool takes the order. A sales system wins the deal.

Notifications and a catalog on WhatsApp are one slice of selling. The pipeline, the calling and the follow-up still need a home — ideally the same one.

01

One app, not a commerce tool plus a CRM plus a dialer

Interakt runs the catalog, the notifications and the WhatsApp storefront; the sales pipeline, the calling and the conversation intelligence are still separate purchases. SmartBDM unifies the WhatsApp inbox and campaigns with a full CRM, AI voice calling, voice notes and scoring, so an SMB isn't juggling and paying for a stack of disconnected tools.

02

Every order chat lands on the lead, with an AI pre-qualifier

A catalog send and an order notification are the start of a relationship, not the end of one. SmartBDM keeps each WhatsApp conversation on the lead record and puts a 24/7 AI agent on new leads to qualify and route them — so commerce engagement turns into worked, qualified pipeline in your CRM.

03

The AI also calls, and the field logs itself by voice

SmartBDM's AI voice agents ring and qualify leads in Indian languages, and reps update the CRM just by recording a voice note. A WhatsApp commerce tool neither dials a buyer nor captures what happens in the field; here both are part of the one platform.

The whole platform

Everything you get in one login

Keep the WhatsApp commerce strengths you'd use Interakt for, and add what a commerce tool leaves out — a full CRM, AI calling, voice capture and scoring in one place.

CRM

Full CRM, your way

Custom pipelines, stages and fields, with every note, call and message on one timeline per lead.

WhatsApp

Unified WhatsApp inbox

Two-way WhatsApp tied to the lead record — templates, read receipts and assignment, for the whole team.

AI workforce

A dozen AI agents, 24/7

They read every conversation, score each lead, follow up, and keep the CRM current — hands-free, with humans in control.

Voice agents

AI that calls your leads

AI voice agents phone and qualify leads in a natural Indian-language voice, then write the call back to the CRM.

Voice notes

Speak to update — free & unlimited

A ten-second voice note becomes a summary, a stage move and a follow-up. No typing, never metered.

Prioritisation

Lead scoring & My Day

Every lead carries an AI intent score, and each morning a ranked “who to call today” puts effort where it converts.

Marketing

WhatsApp marketing & re-engagement

Wake dormant leads in compliant batches, with deliverability and your sender number protected automatically.

Analytics

Performance & coaching

Per-rep performance, follow-up discipline and conversation intelligence — coach on the behaviours that drive revenue.

Indian-language AI throughout, passwordless login, and the full platform on Web, iOS and Android.
