Send Timely Alerts and Notifications with the ClickSend SMS Gateway

When life is unpredictable, don't leave your customers, staff or suppliers in the dark - rely on SMS alerts or a text message notification system to keep everyone informed.

No matter the amount of planning that has gone into an event or task, change is unavoidable. Wild weather may force an event to be rescheduled or cancelled at the last minute. A technical fault may affect an essential service. Traffic issues might result in service disruptions for local public transport routes. Staff illness may require last minute changes to rosters.

When plans change, people need to know - and sooner rather than later. The perfect way to alert people to circumstantial changes instantly is via an SMS Notification System.

Why Use SMS For Alerts And Notifications?

Three examples of customer SMS notifications showing different use cases

Reach

An alert or notification message can be sent to an enormous number of handsets in a matter of seconds.

SMS is the native messaging program of all mobile handsets; be confident that your SMS notifications will reach all handsets from an old brick to the latest smartphone.

SMS open rates are extremely high; most users will open a text message within minutes.

Immediacy

SMS is simple, quick, and extremely cost-effective.

SMS is immediate and reliable, even in many remote areas.

All recipients will receive the alert at the same time.

Ease

Using an online SMS gateway, it's a breeze to send bulk text message notifications.

Delivery receipting allows you to confirm that your messages have been received.

Text message alerts are far more convenient than calling all involved parties, with much higher open rates than email.

Banks and finance companies love using ClickSend to send regular SMS alerts.

Financial advisors and public accountants love SMS for sending notifications and reminders to clients about their appointments, or annual taxation reminders.

Automated communication with a large number of employees, volunteers, customers, members and citizens facilitates the mitigation of problems quickly and effectively.

Instant SMS or text messaging is the premium mode of communication for critical messaging. With an SMS Alert System in place, your emergency notification will be delivered immediately. There is no requirement for an internet connection, your message will be received instantly across an array of available handset and device types, and you know your alert will be seen.

Whether you are a multinational company, a small-medium enterprise, a community organisation, a government service or a not for profit, an SMS Notification System will be your best investment.
