Progress System built-in Text Messaging

The Progress System offers built-in text message facilities for notifying customers of Service appointments, delivering updates on service progress and collection notifications.

Progress SMS Service Reminders (NEW)

Progress DMS can also offer a system for managing the dispatch of text message service reminders to customers. This method is particularly effective as it saves large costs on both print and postage, as well as on the man hours required to manage the campaign.

Progress SMS Sales Campaigns (NEW)

Over the last month Progress has managed several highly successful sales campaigns, for events and promotions. Using SMS the campaigns have offered higher response rates, and lower costs than other traditional marketing methods. Our campaigns are fully managed, and provide detailed breakdowns for reporting on the outcome of each demographic.

One of the most significant benefits is that campaigns can be run, and the results collated generally within a 24 hour period, something which is not possible with conventional methods.
