How Quantiva Built An AI-powered Messaging Platform That Scales To 2M+ Messages Per Day
Texting is one of the fastest-growing marketing channels, and for good reason. For retailers and marketing firms, it delivers speed, visibility, and conversion in a way few other mediums can. It’s not just a communication tool; it’s a revenue engine and retention lever. Done right, it builds relationships. Done wrong, it gets ignored or, worse, alienates.
AI is rapidly changing how brands approach texting. Instead of blasting the same message to everyone, marketers can now segment audiences intelligently, personalize content dynamically, and even respond to customer replies in real time, all without adding operational overhead.
That’s why a leading marketing platform partnered with Quantiva. Their goal was to build a high-throughput messaging API that could power both transactional and promotional outreach, but with smarter automation, deeper insights, and no reliance on a single texting provider.
High-Performance Messaging With Built-In Intelligence
At the core is a message engine capable of sending over 2 million messages per day. The platform supports transactional updates, flash promotions, authentication codes, loyalty programs, all from a single API.
AI-enhanced segmentation tools analyze behavior, geography, and engagement history to help marketers group audiences more effectively. Messages are then customized using a flexible template system with built-in support for personalization tokens, localization, and compliance tagging. What used to be a one-size-fits-all campaign can now adapt automatically, tailoring offers and timing based on who’s receiving it and when.
AI-Powered Responses That Keep Conversations Moving
On the inbound side, the system handles replies just as intelligently. When customers respond, asking for store hours, product availability, or order status, the platform can reply automatically using client-defined knowledge bases. This eliminates the need for manual handling of routine questions and allows brands to offer fast, accurate responses at any scale. The result is a more natural, more helpful experience for the customer, and more time saved for the business.
Provider-Agnostic Routing For Resilience And Control
The platform was designed to be texting-provider agnostic from day one. Traffic is routed across multiple gateways based on delivery performance, region, or cost, all defined by configurable rules.
If one provider slows down or rates change, routing adjusts instantly. This improves reliability and cost-efficiency, especially for high-volume senders operating across regions.
Real-Time Analytics And Insight
Teams can track delivery rates, engagement, opt-outs, and reply trends in real time. Every campaign, template, and message flow is logged and surfaced in a user-friendly dashboard, with filters for audience segments, providers, and message types.
This visibility helps marketers and operations teams spot issues quickly and continuously improve outreach strategies.
