Inspire-Tech supported Riverlife Church's needs with the hosted RapidSMS service. The RapidSMS platform enabled the church administrators to login at different times of the day to prepare for SMS broadcast. The system also allows a quota to be set for usage, thus managing the variable costs component for the church as it is a not-for-profit organisation. With RapidSMS, SMS replies from recipients may be routed automatically to the sender for the collation of responses. The solution is also able to generate clear reports on the different usage patterns by specific users.
The organisation also appreciated the hosted feature of RapidSMS, since there was no need to dedicate additional manpower to manage the SMS infrastructure, and the user interface is easy to navigate.
“RapidSMS has helped us in communicating more effectively with our members in organizing events. We even leverage on its high delivery speed during emergency events like H1N1 to send alerts out promptly to inform congregation of the situations and scheduling of church services,” said the IT manager of RiverLife Church.
