What is Catapush?
Catapush is a proprietary push notification solution designed specifically for banking institutions to communicate with customers through mobile devices. This Software as a Service (SaaS) platform operates on AWS cloud infrastructure, ensuring reliable, traceable, secure, and confidential delivery of push notifications and in-app messages. The system supports both transactional one-to-one communications and massive sending campaigns, maintaining performance even under critical situations.
The platform goes beyond standard Android FCM/HMS and iOS APNs services by implementing a special-purpose proprietary real-time background channel using XMPP protocol. This approach guarantees push notification delivery and provides real-time message status reporting. Catapush offers detailed delivery timestamps for each message, enabling applications to react accordingly, and includes message store, forward, and retry mechanisms to ensure all push messages are delivered regardless of network conditions.
