SMS Order Updates
SMS is invaluable when it comes to delivery of customer orders. Consumers can find the entire delivery process frustrating; time must be taken out of their day to be present to accept a delivery, the timing of which is usually a mystery. Imagine how much more convenient it would be for consumers to receive an SMS at various points throughout the delivery process, allowing them to track their order and manage their time better. Once an order is generated, send pertinent information via text message to update your client and you can be sure that your message has reached.

This affords the client better chance to be present when the item is delivered and they will experience much higher levels of customer satisfaction. Your customers will reward you with repeat business and favourable word of mouth.
Furthermore, through an inexpensive investment in setting up text message alerts, you can cut down on customer support queries asking for information about orders and delivery. Your support staff will thank you.
