Automatic SMS

Sending SMS can be made manually or automatically. Automatically sent messages are triggered by some predefined rule in your IT-systems. For example, a ERP-system can easily be customized to perform automatic SMS-sending. Below is an example:

  • Example: SMS in an ERP-system
    A product has just arrived to the inventory. This is registered and sent to the ERP-system. The ERP-system can be customized to automatically trigger a SMS to the customer informing her that the product has arrived and is available for pick-up.

Manual SMS

Add a button named “New SMS” into your existing application. Pressing this button pops up a form where you can choose receiver and compose the message. The list of receivers available to pick is fetched from the ERP-systems database. This makes sending SMS as easy as sending e-mail. Below is an example:

  • Example: SMS in an ERP-system
    Something just came up which will make you 30 minutes late for your next meeting.  Fast and easy you can send an SMS to a distribution list informing everyone about your delay.
