SMS notification systems make it easier for organizations to disseminate information

With SMS text alerts organizations can easily reach employees with important corporate communications.

No matter where your workforce is located, they will receive the message. With DeskAlerts you can send SMS alerts that will be delivered on your employees’ phones as a traditional mobile text alert.

What is the difference between DeskAlerts SMS notification and mobile alert?

SMS messages are traditional text messages that support a wider range of devices, but you are limited to sending only short plain text notifications. Wherever your employees have a mobile phone signal they can receive one of these alerts.

The mobile alert app is specifically installed on smartphones and tablets and can be used to send more rich content such as videos and pictures to Android and iOS-based devices.

However, this relies on your employees having internet access, which is not always possible, particularly in the event of an emergency when electricity or internet may go down.

In these scenarios, for example, you can send emergency alerts system SMS messages to your employees.

What is SMS alert system?

An SMS alert system is one that is used to send text alerts – also known as SMS notifications automatically to numbers on a list that are identified as wanting/needing to receive them.

For companies using them as an internal communication channel, it allows them to send both urgent and non-urgent communications to the entire company at the same time, very quickly.

SMS alerts are generally deployed using an interface that will then send the messages to the recipients in a very short period of time. Messages can be sent to different groups of employees within the company if you need to send something that is only relevant to a specific cohort, for example, employees in a particular city or all of your managers.

They’re a popular method of communication for many companies for both internal and external communications and marketing initiatives. They ensure that information that people need is literally delivered to them in the palm of their hands very quickly.

Text messages can be sent immediately or can be scheduled to be sent in the future. They can also be automated to send in conjunction with other software systems that you use within your company.
