About

We think the web interface has had its day

Sandra brings WhatsApp (and RCS tomorrow), your CRM and AI together on a single platform. The future of customer relationships is conversational: natural, fluid, immediate. We exist so that a company of any size can keep that promise without losing professionalism or compliance along the way.

Our mission

Make closeness scalable, without making it artificial

Letting companies handle their customer conversations professionally on the messaging apps their customers already use (WhatsApp today, RCS tomorrow), by bringing the conversation, intelligent automation and customer data together in one place.

A small company knows its customers by their first name. As it grows, it loses that, and replaces it with tickets, forms and queues. We use AI for the opposite of what it usually does: not to replace people, but to give them back the time to stay human as volume rises.

The end result: a conversational, omnichannel, personalised and measurable customer relationship, in a complete solution that is easy to fit into what you already run.

Conversational by design
The web interface is in decline. Direct, natural, immediate exchange is replacing the form.
Closeness at scale
Conversational AI absorbs the volume; the relationship stays direct and personal.
WhatsApp first
Questions, decisions, purchases: everything becomes a conversation, on the channel your customers already open.
Privacy by default
Data hosted in Switzerland, GDPR and FADP compliance built in. Trust is not negotiable.

Why now

The web of pages and clicks is running out of steam

Three observations, drawn from twenty years in digital, that gave rise to Sandra.

01 · The end of the click era
51%
of global web traffic is generated by bots

8% of clicks when Google shows an AI summary, versus 15% without

+13% on the cost of a Google Ads click in one year, the fifth rise in a row

Acquisition costs more. First-party data becomes decisive.
02 · One more app?
6 apps
account for half of the time spent on smartphones

Build an app, maintain it, then pay for every download

Only to end up in a folder, rarely opened

Your customers won't install one more app. They already have WhatsApp.
03 · The interface becomes conversational
Yesterday
The web

Pages, organised by search engines.

Then
Social media

Brands engage through content.

Today
Conversational

A one-to-one exchange, assisted by AI, on the messaging app everyone already opens.

The team

Three founders, three complementary trades

Sales, operations, engineering: over twenty years of digital each, and the habit of working together, picked up agency-side. Around us, a network of experts (developers, marketers, press, partner agencies) we can bring in quickly when a project calls for it.
