SMS reminders and confirmations by industry

Healthcare

Send an appointment confirmation when a patient schedules a visit, along with reminders a day or two before the appointment.

SMS reminders can also be used by healthcare providers and pharmacists for follow-up messages about medication reminders, aftercare support, upcoming tests, or follow-up appointments.

Transport and Logistics

After placing an order, customers can be sent an SMS confirming their order along with estimated delivery times.

As the delivery time approaches, a reminder can be sent to notify customers and ensure someone is available to receive the package.

Additionally, delivery services can send tracking updates via SMS to keep customers informed about the status of their delivery.

Retail

SMS reminders can notify customers about stock availability, alerting them when out-of-stock items are back in stock, or encouraging them to complete abandoned carts.

SMS can also provide order confirmations with delivery details and updates or can be used to process returns.

These SMS communications enhance customer engagement and put the customer’s mind at ease following a purchase.
