Rapidpro
RapidPro is an open source platform that allows users to create interactive messaging systems using a visual interface. Developed to improve the capabilities of RapidSMS, it facilitates the management of workflows and the automation of communication in real time, being essential in international development projects. RapidPro enables effective collaboration between clinics and healthcare workers, and is crucial in difficult operating environments where fast and reliable communication is vital.
RapidPro solves the limitations of previous systems like RapidSMS by providing a more flexible and powerful platform for message and workflow management, significantly improving communication and collaboration on healthcare and development projects in challenging environments.
