DND restrictions on RCS vs promotional SMS
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the modern upgrade to SMS. It lets manufacturers send verified, branded messages with images, structured details, and tap-to-act buttons- straight into a dealer or distributor's native Android Messages app, with no app install required. Where RCS isn't supported, delivery automatically falls back to standard SMS.
For manufacturers, RCS is primarily a dealer and distributor-facing channel- not end-consumer marketing. It strengthens the communication backbone of your existing sales and service network rather than replacing consumer-facing campaigns.
Trigger: Manufacturer needs to reach its dealer network with policy updates, pricing changes, or scheme announcements.
RCS format: Rich card: company logo, update summary, button: 'View Full Circular' or 'Contact Regional Manager'.
Result: Verified, consistent communication across a large dealer base rather than scattered emails or calls.
Trigger: Distributor places an order through the manufacturer's order management or ERP system.
RCS format: Rich card: order ID, SKU summary, expected dispatch date, button: 'Track Shipment'.
Result: Faster order acknowledgement than manual email confirmation, with fewer status-check calls.
Trigger: Dealer-level stock for a fast-moving SKU falls below the reorder threshold in the inventory system.
RCS format: Rich card: SKU, current stock level, button: 'Reorder Now' linking to the distributor portal.
Result: Fewer stockouts at the dealer level from timely, automated reorder prompts.
Trigger: Manufacturer launches a new product line or model variant to its dealer and distributor network.
RCS format: Carousel: product images, spec highlights, button: 'Request Catalogue' or 'Place Pre-Order'.
Result: Richer visual presentation than a plain circular email drives faster dealer stocking decisions.
Trigger: End customer or dealer needs to register a product's warranty after installation or sale.
RCS format: Rich card: product serial number field, button: 'Register Warranty' linking to a short form.
Result: Higher warranty registration completion than a mailed card or manual paperwork process.
Trigger: Dealer or distributor raises a technical or service support request for installed equipment.
RCS format: Rich card: request ID, status, button: 'Track Request' or 'Escalate to Support'.
Result: Transparent status updates reduce repeat follow-up calls to the manufacturer's support desk.

| Aspect | SMS | RCS |
|---|---|---|
| Sender identity | Plain number or unverifiable Sender ID | Verified manufacturer name, logo, and checkmark |
| Message format | 160-character plain text | Rich card with image, structured details, buttons |
| Dealer action | Requires a phone call or separate portal login | Reorder, Track, Register in one tap |
| DND applicability | Promotional SMS blocked for DND numbers | Not restricted by TRAI DND rules |
RCS and WhatsApp are complementary, not competing. For broad, install-free outbound alerts, RCS has a reach advantage.
| Aspect | RCS | |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | Requires the dealer to have WhatsApp installed and opted in | Works natively in Android's default Messages app- no install or opt-in step |
| Delivery fallback | No native SMS fallback if undelivered | Automatic SMS fallback keeps delivery near-universal |
| Best fit | Two-way dealer support conversations | Broad outbound alerts- orders, inventory, launches |
Trigger
Order placed, stock threshold crossed, or product launch scheduled in your ERP/DMS.

Get Click Media enables manufacturers to reimagine dealer and distributor communication with RCS.
Big or small, we power communication for all- talk to us today.
Mainly for dealer/distributor-facing alerts rather than end-consumer marketing- a narrower but real use case. RCS works well for inventory alerts, order confirmations, and warranty registration flows within a manufacturer's channel network rather than mass consumer campaigns.
Yes. A rich card can confirm order quantity, SKU details, and expected dispatch date the moment an order is placed, with a button to track the shipment- replacing manual email or phone confirmation between manufacturer and distributor.
Low-stock or restock alerts can be automatically triggered from your inventory system and sent to dealers as a rich card with SKU, current stock level, and a 'Reorder Now' button, reducing stockouts and manual reorder tracking at the dealer level.
Yes. A rich card can guide the dealer or end customer through warranty registration with a serial number field and a 'Register Warranty' button linking to a short form, which typically sees higher completion than mailed warranty cards.
No. RCS is not classified as commercial SMS under TRAI's regulations, so manufacturers don't need DLT entity or template registration for RCS content sent to dealers or distributors. Google brand verification is required instead, managed by Get Click Media.
Get Click Media's platform checks device capability in real time and automatically falls back to standard SMS, so every order confirmation, inventory alert, or circular still reaches the dealer regardless of their device.
Yes. A single verified brand identity can support multiple product lines or divisions, each with its own template set for dealer communication, while order and inventory data stays segmented by division in your backend systems.
Most manufacturing clients go live within 7-10 business days, covering Google brand verification, template approval, and integration with the ERP, dealer management, or inventory system used for the channel network.
