Runo’s Next Big Moves
Runo is the world’s first AI-powered call management CRM with SIM-based and virtual number calling , redefining how businesses connect with their customers. We’re constantly evolving to stay ahead in the world of sales management, helping sales teams simplify their workflows, boost productivity, and close deals faster.
Runo now integrates seamlessly with the WhatsApp Business API , making WhatsApp your most powerful sales and engagement channel. Instead of juggling multiple numbers or tools, you can run all your campaigns from one centralized business number with the ability to add images, videos, documents, or even location pins.
You can segment audiences and send bulk personalized campaigns, while every WhatsApp chat is automatically tracked alongside calls, emails, and notes, giving you a single, unified interaction history . With auto-replies, one-click quick responses (coming soon), and a unified inbox inside Runo CRM, your team can respond faster and never miss an opportunity.
Finally, you can measure ROI with detailed WhatsApp campaign reports and dashboards, so you know exactly what drives engagement and conversions.
With Runo + WABA , WhatsApp becomes more than just messaging. It becomes a scalable and trackable sales and customer engagement engine.
We’re also working on many exciting innovations like Autopilot, AI Call Analysis, AI Call Scoring, and more (keeping a few surprises under wraps for now 😉)
