The Benefits of Using an Online Text Message Service
SMS provides businesses with a way to engage with their customers, patients, citizens or employees directly to their mobile phone quickly and efficiently.
Text messages have much higher open and engagement rates than email and allow for the customer to reply directly. So many marketing emails simply go unread in crowded inboxes, whereas sms marketing offers a direct approach that is far more likely to not only get a customer’s attention, but their engagement as well.
Mobile communication is becoming increasingly important. Your customers and employees expect the ability to engage with your brand in their favourite channel. Our solution not only allows you to send in bulk directly from the platform, you can also automate messages, so they are triggered automatically.
Take advantage with our proven SMS Messaging platform:
- Appointment reminder and confirmation
- Two Factor Authentication
- Update notification
- Payment approval messages
How can SMS benefit your business?
Embed SMS directly into existing applications
Our communication platform enables businesses to easily embed communications, including SMS directly into their existing applications. This allows businesses to streamline communication-heavy business processes and to achieve some early successes in their digital transformation efforts.
Reach customers on their preferred channel
Most organisations need to communicate regularly with customers, patients, citizens, or employees and with so many channels to choose from, it’s often a bit of a minefield. Text messages are sent directly to your contacts’ mobile phone and most messages are opened in under 3 minutes. SMS is proven to increase engagement rates, meaning you’re more likely to improve relationships with customers and hear back from them when needed.
Helping budget and resource go further
Eliminating the need for your employees to manually send reminders, notifications and updates can drastically reduce the time spent on administration tasks.
Once SMS is integrated into your CRM or platform, when an action takes place such as a new order or an upcoming appointment, a text message will automatically be triggered. This can be used to replace or fill gaps in call centres or admin teams.
Automating the entire process ensures faultless communications and can save your business thousands in overheads.
Increased customer satisfaction
90% of your customers already expect consistent, trusted interactions via the communication channels they know and love. SMS allows businesses to reach their customers and employees directly to their favourite device and makes it quick and easy for them to respond if needed. By ensuring quick and simple communication channels, customers stay engaged and satisfied.
Reach your contacts, every time
Customers, employees, patients and citizens are constantly inundated with marketing and sales messages and their inboxes are bursting at the seams. It’s important to stand out from the crowd to ensure you’re heard.
Reaching out to your customers via SMS ensures your message will be seen instantly. Whether you’re sending an urgent notification, a two-factor authentication code or an appointment reminder; you can be confident it will reach your contact quickly and safely.
Reduce the space for human error
When communicating with customers, especially in large businesses the space for human error can be massive. Spreadsheets and tick boxes showing who has been contacted ahead of appointments or to confirm orders can get messy and it requires a lot of manpower.
Employing a solution to send text messages online and allowing the platform to automatically send bulk SMS means they are never missed, and your employees have more time available to focus on other tasks within the business.
Make missed appointments a thing of the past
Sending automatic confirmations and reminders to customers or patients has been proven to drastically reduce ‘Did Not Attend’ rates and no-shows, saving your employees time and wasted resource.
You can configure the solution to automatically send a confirmation via any channel when a booking or appointment is made in your current CRM. The tool can then send out reminders closer to the appointment date alongside a quick, easy way for the contact to cancel or reschedule their appointment.

Our CPaaS solution can be used as a SMS marketing platform for you to send text online to your customers promoting your latest products and services.
