EXPERIENCE
MessagingPlatforms.com™, based in Charleston, South Carolina, was established in 2016 by mobile telecom, cybersecurity and fintech exec, Bryan Scott Schaffner, whose emerging technology and venture investment experience spans nearly thirty years. He is co-author and inventor of smartphone-centric patents US 8,783,571 (2014), US 10,839,275 (2020), US 11,281,951 (2022) & US 11,645,488 (2023 and serves as an investor/advisor to startups and later stage companies.
.
BlkchMSG™, is being developed to further enhance Cybersecurity-measures as well as Data Privacy (our clients own their Data) compared to messaging platforms from leading tech companies (wherein clients typically do not own their Data) and to further assure transaction integrity and operational transparency.
.
“Owning” your own “Data”, which our “Core” platform and BlkchMSG™ both provide, is becoming increasingly important if companies/organizations wish to utilize that data to “train” AI/Large Language Models – if you do not “own” your data the ability to have your company/organization benefit (e.g. improve customer experiences, swiftly identify trends, resolve common matters, “learn” to expedite future initiatives, etc) from current advancements in AI/LLMs is impeded.
.
Additionally, both iterations of our platform can automatically validate and authenticate data/inputs, as required on a client-by-client basis, including automated-verification of all participants connected to a client’s dedicated messaging platform – this means all participants are able to be known and verified (by trusted third-party service providers) as well as required to credential-in (utilizing a third form of authentication, at each client’s discretion) to further bolster the platform’s Cybersecurity-resiliency (at the client’s discretion).
.
WHAT WE DO
.
We develop Enterprise-level private/dedicated iOS®/Apple® App Store and Google Android®/Play® Messaging Apps as well as the accompanying cloud-based Web-interfaces and the underlying technology that powers them.
.
We offer a “White-label” version of our core messaging platform to selected large companies, brands, venture-financed startups and charities/not-for-profit organizations.
.
Our unique Hub & Spoke architecture enables a centralized organization to spin-up instances of autonomous, siloed messaging-interfaces.
This approach to our messaging platform design, for example, would enable a sports league (e.g. a “client”) to have a “Hub” to push down communications to each team in their league while enabling each team in their league (each team being a “Spoke”) to have their own messaging platform (e.g. siloed “instances”) for their respective fan-bases.
In the case of Not-for-profit organizations, they too can benefit from our proprietary Hub & Spoke product design as a National/Global/Parent organization (“Hub”) may, for example, have an outpost, branch or division in each of the 50 states or even in multiple countries (who may also speak different languages), globally – each of these outposts/branches/divisions (“Spokes”) – with their own respective members/events/initiatives/contributors/languages can have “Feed”-autonomy (a Daily/Weekly Feed, at their discretion, which can be dedicated to their respective efforts and sponsors vs it coming solely from the National/Global/Parent organization) – each “Spoke” can also have interactivity between their respective members/contributors – with data “Siloed” from the National/Global/Parent organization) while also being able to accommodated/incorporate special events/initiatives championed/integrated into the “Feed” by their National/Global/Parent organization/”Hub.”
.
Mindful of bolstering jobs in the USA as well as placing a premium on platform Data Privacy and Cybersecurity, our preference at MessagingPlatforms™ is to utilize developers in the USA.
.
While there are potentially some cost-savings for clients associated with reliable developers located outside the United States, the use of those resources will be contemplated on a case-by-case basis only after consultation with each client.
.
All white-labeled/private MessagingPlatforms™ can be hosted by the client or we can host such through leading providers with which we work – Amazon®, Microsoft®, IBM® & Google®; in addition, we can also provide advanced cybersecurity from Palo Alto Networks®, SentinelOne®, CrowdStrike® & Cylance® among others, at each client’s discretion.
How What We Do Helps Your Organization
.
Communication is the linchpin for sustained cohesiveness for all brands, companies and not-for-profit organizations.
– Dedicated Messaging Apps represent the most User-friendly communications medium when compared to performance-metrics for Email and SMS/text (or even USPS® Direct Mail as traditionally utilized by brands, companies and not-for-profits).
.
– Only recently, however, has ubiquitous consumer adoption of direct messaging platforms (e.g. Instagram®, Snap®, FB Messenger®, etc) made it practical for Brands, Companies and Not-for-Profit organizations (e.g. our “Clients”) to have their own dedicated/private messaging platform.
.
– Clients having their own dedicated, private messaging platform enables their “Feed” to be tailored to display only what the Client deems suitable for their Users.
.
– Ease-of-use enables this dedicated, private messaging platform to become a valuable tool for Clients to keep their constituencies and loyalists up to date as well as provide a secure-environment for interactions between Users.
.
.
Most importantly, our clients own their data.
.
– We provide our clients a communications-environment free of advertisements or, if they so choose the ability to display ads only from their trusted supporters (if their data is left in the hands of a third-party or third-parties, competitors and other conflicting advertisers/content can potentially and usually do advertise right alongside client’s content);
.
– Our Clients are able to only showcase their causes/content/info and products/merchandise (and/or that of their Users, if the Client so chooses) in their messaging platform’s “”Feed” (as opposed to causes, content, info, products and merchandise of other firms/people – that are outside of their organization – as routinely happens, due to algorithms, on third-party, non-private/non-dedicated platforms);
.
– Also, by owning their data (as opposed to handing this valuable commodity over to one of the third-party messaging platforms or social networks which often populate Feeds with ads, sometimes of competitors, usually without a client’s consent/knowledge), our Clients enjoy the ability to directly benefit from their own data insights, better protect their members’/sponsors’ data privacy rights, can offer their supporters/sponsors advertising opportunities (e.g. generate revenue for the client) as well as even parse their own “big data” utilizing “AI” and feed such into “LLMs” (with our assistance, at their option) to improve the health of their organization and experience of their Users.
.
White-Labeled/Private/Dedicated MessagingPlatforms™ serve to enhance User-experiences and improve long-term customer/member/loyalist/supporter satisfaction; for Administrators the dashboard is simple and intuitive as is the on-boarding of customers/members/loyalists/supports utilizing only their respective email addresses.
.
– We are also able to implement and maintain additional Cybersecurity-measures to better protect our client’s Users’ Privacy as well as assist our clients with Machine Learning and cognitive-computing advancements (Artificial Intelligence), these value-added services have the capacity to help clients serve their respective constituents better – making their organization, company or brand healthier and more efficient in the process over the long term.

For Not-For-Profit organizations, each Spoke could be for a given Region/State’s program whereas the Hub is the channel for the National/Parent organization.
In either case, each Spoke has its own siloed-data and members of the messaging community, unique to it, yet they still are able to receive dispatches from the National/Parent organization.
One Admin can manage the Hub and all Spokes or allocate Admin responsibilities on a Spoke-by-Spoke basis.

Email for QuoteValue-Added Features
The MessagingPlatforms.com Hub & Spokes have been designed to also offer (optional) Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven, voice recognition-powered, real-time “chat bots” (with automated transfers to “live” Human-assistance, if desired) in order to help clients boost their operational-efficiency and improve the quality of interactions stemming from chat-commerce orders, customer service, travel bookings, appointments, lodging reservations and more.
.
Example 1: if the messaging platform you create is tailored for sports-enthusiasts to interact, a chat-bot can drive the interaction of your Users by pulling real-time sports news and scores into the Feed for all Users to see.
.
Example 2: if your company or organization has a customer-service element to it, a messaging platform enables your team respond in real-time via messaging but it may also be even more efficient to have a Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven, voice recognition-powered chat-bot handle most Frequently Asked Questions and collect basic info prior to being escalated to a “live” team member.
.
Example 3: if your company or organization handles travel booking for your members, they can arrange travel via messaging with a Conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven, voice recognition-powered chat-bot that can pull flight options and pricing in real-time to help their decision-making prior to being transferred to a “live” booking agent.
