SMS Solutions

SMS standing for Short Messaging Service is a powerful and relatively untapped medium with which to keep in touch with your customers, suppliers and workforce.

According to the Oftel Residential Survey, 75 per cent of all adults in the United Kingdom owned or used a mobile phone in May 2003.  That figure is likely to be much higher now with mobiles finding their way into everyday life more than ever before.  A whole new range of PDAs and the new iPhone from Apple are pushing the boundaries of computing to new levels and showing off the true benefits of working wirelessly and using micro-devices.

 How Computime can help you take advantage of SMS

Using industry-leading unifed messaging systems such as David Zehn or Microsoft Exchange 2007, Computime can enable you and your employees to send SMS's as easily as if they were emails, right from the desktop.  The clever bit is an SMS gateway, which converts your text (usually submitted through your email program such as Microsoft Outlook or David InfoCenter) into the SMS format and then delivers this to a network operator such as Orange, T-Mobile, O2 etc.   The system is fully guaranteed with delivery nofitications so you will know whether your message went through, just as if you were using a normal mobile phone.

There are endless possibilities for using SMS's but here are a few examples which we have implemented for our clients:

• Marketing your products
• Issuing delivery notes or dispatch notifications
• Sending reminders for overdue payments
• Order confirmations
• Workforce management i.e. directing engineers to new jobs whilst out on site.
• Status updates from workforce on site
• Out of hours paging / answerphone so you never miss an enquiry
• Contacting subcontractors, suppliers and customers where communication can be recorded and tracked in a CRM system.
