Troubleshoot Client Problems

When customers have tech difficulties, their problems can usually be solved with a few adjustments or tweaks. Your client can send a text to your number, and you'll receive it in your email inbox. Resolve the problem by sending your recommended steps, and if your client still needs help, they can call your dedicated texting number and get forwarded to your office phone.

Benefits of

Connection Icon Using SMS for Information Techonology

Whether it’s at a software company, a large enterprise or a financial institution, the IT department has a lot on its plate. Your IT team needs to support users and keep your systems safe. SMS lets you streamline the help desk while keeping clients up to date on product launches or downtime. Explore a few of the benefits of using SMS for IT.

  • Verify Users’ Identities Security is critical, and you need to prevent unauthorized access to users’ accounts. Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes called multi-factor authentication, provides an extra layer of security and minimizes unauthorized access. When a user tries to log into their account with their username and password, they must also provide a second code sent to them via text message. They can’t log in if they don’t have phone access.
  • Keep Clients Up to Date System outages happen, and sometimes you need to update infrastructure or software, which can cause downtime. SMS lets you keep your clients informed of outages and downtime. Send messages that tell them when the outage will occur and how long you expect the system to be down. If an unplanned outage occurs, SMS lets you quickly communicate with your clients, reducing the number of calls to customer service.
  • Streamline Customer Service With SMS, you can streamline your customer service. If a user wants to make an appointment with tech support, they can do so over text. Texting about a problem means they don’t have to spend minutes (or hours) on hold waiting for the next available representative.
