Sending

MOBILIZE offers an extremely simple method of sending mass SMS messages to your constituents and recipients. You are able to send immediately to single people or small groups as a "one-off" message, or large groups defined exactly by your predetermined configuration.

You can continue adding people to your recipient groups up to the moment your messages are sent, and MOBILIZE ensures they are included in that message. No more stressing over list management!

Time-sending can be managed down to the minute for every unique message, if there's a specific reason for your groups to receive it at that specific time. Alternatively, you can set & forget" to specific times each day, week or month. There's no volume we cannot handle - from one to one million messages.

Receiving

We believe these tools should stimulate mobile conversations, not act like direct mail postcards.

MOBILIZE allows you to send out surveys and questionnaires with minimum of fuss. Define your questions, expected answers and we take care of the rest - we even offer you a place for local language translations!

Once you have responses, we allow you to view and even re-allocate responses according to the categories you have setup, to prevent simple errors and typos from ruining your results.

Managing Users

Managing MOBILIZE users could not be easier. Simply enter their details into the online form, allocate their permissions and SMS credits and they are up and running. They will be able to send their first messages immediately after you enter them into the system!

We have built-in many control mechanisms to make managing these users as easy as pie.

• Determine whether they can purchase credits, or have them allocated by you
• Be notified when key actions are taken
• Be notified when costs reach certain targets
• Offer Admin or User-level privileges
• Limit certain features and functions

Workflow

MOBILIZE is as easy to manage as your email! Simply setup users, buy credits, write your message, select your recipients and send! We take care of a million details on the back end, including:

• Carrier relationships
• Legal and regulatory requirements
• Multiple users using a single cellphone
• Multiple time zones
• Resending messages to recipients
• Receiving responses, and managing where and how they should be displayed
• Error correction and warnings so you reduce mistakes
• Cost-controls built-in
• Bug-free software
• Purchasing SMS "credits"
• Bank transactions

Purchasing Credits

You shouldn't have to manage relationships with multiple carriers and service providers. We let you focus on your business, not your cell phone or provider and their confusing plans. You simply purchase exactly the number of SMS messages you want to use, right from the application itself. This allows you to manage and monitor your costs closely. We will even warn you when you don't have enough credits to send your messages, or when you are going to overrun your allocated budget!
