Helping All Types of Customers Manage Productivity
“EZ Texting is at the epicenter of solving productivity challenges during this pandemic,” said Happ. ”Texting communications is critical to managing customer productivity without disruption, and we are helping all types of customers connect with their workforces and customers.”
For example, EZ Texting is used to manage communications with mobile workforces and enable more engaging customer service. EZ Texting’s platform became integral in 2020 to facilitate activities like contactless delivery notifications and curbside pickup, as well as retailers’ rapid pivot to e-commerce, all critically important pandemic workarounds for many of the company’s business customers.
EZ Texting also facilitated delivery of informative alerts and notifications for nonprofits and community organizations, including pro bono services to schools and municipalities during the pandemic. It also supported innovative healthcare use cases, such as Stanford Medicine’s COVID-19 National Daily Health Survey, a unique COVID-19 early warning and tracing system.
