Ensuring 24×7 communications for essential notifications ​

Use Case

This case study details how Belcorp, a multinational beauty company, adopted the SMSEagle SMS gateway to address two distinct challenges. They needed a reliable way to maintain 2-way communication with their 800,000+ independent consultants for campaigns and feedback.

Simultaneously, their IT department required a robust solution for real-time network and data center monitoring alerts. SMSEagle provided a single, secure platform that met both the business and IT requirements by sending messages directly to the cellular network.

“SMS is super-effective! Every day, we are more and more convinced of the benefits of using SMS in our business, and we see new applications for SMSEagle within the business. In the future, we plan to expand our use of SMSEagle to increase the speed and volume of communications with both consultants and customers.”
