From the perspective of the companies, such notification messages should ideally be automatically sent from ordering systems already in use. At the same time it is particularly important for retailers that branch staff also have the option of sending manual messages in special cases to get in touch with customers.\r\n<h2>The background<\/h2>\r\nHandling warranty claims is always accompanied by a high amount of organizational effort for retailers. This is especially true in cases where a change from the original quote is involved. In such cases, the higher costs need to be authorized by customers separately before the company can go ahead and make the repairs. The dealer also has an interest in newly ordered goods being fetched and paid for without delay. Opticians, for instance, have the added challenge that picking up a new pair of glasses often also involves setting up an appointment for the customer to try the glasses on and have them adjusted if required. Working customers are especially difficult to get in touch with, so the communication is very complicated and eats up a huge amount of valuable human resource time.\r\n<h2>The solution<\/h2>\r\nCommunicating by means of SMS is an obvious choice for pick-up notification messages. Hardly any channels attract as much attention and ensure shorter response times. Even without access to the internet or when using older models of cellular phones, short messages are delivered reliably. Irrespective of the time of day, retailers can make contact with their customers significantly more efficiently than by spending huge amounts of precious time phoning around after them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/sms\/\">Retarus Enterprise SMS Services<\/a> allow information to be sent quickly and reliably \u2013 directly from business applications, email clients, ERP or CRM systems, and without having to invest in additional hardware or software.

href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/products\/messaging-service-email-fax-sms-edi-for-applications\/\">Retarus SMS for Applications<\/a> uses existing interfaces of the program in question. Incoming SMS replies are also pushed straight back into the business applications. This allows customers to respond immediately to messages and, for instance, accept quoted prices or request an alternative delivery time. For this bi-directional communication, Retarus makes separate phone numbers available. If required, incoming messages can be tagged in the CRM system or linked up with an automated procedure for further processing based on, for example, keywords contained in the message.\r\nThanks to <strong>Retarus Mail2SMS<\/strong> retail branch staff are also able to get in touch with customers at all times using their existing email clients. No additional training or software is required. Instead of the email address, the user simply needs to enter the phone number into the address field of the message. The actual SMS text follows in the subject line. Here too, the recipient can respond directly to the message. The reply SMS is then in turn delivered to the branch shop via email.\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle admin_label=\"toggle\" open=\"off\" module_class=\"more-info-toggle\" disabled=\"off\" disabled_on=\"on||\" title=\"More information\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\" _builder_version=\"3.0.100\"]\r\nBy way of the web-based <strong>Retarus Enterprise Administration Services portal<\/strong> users have the opportunity to conveniently set up their own send and receive options in advance. On request, companies also receive automatic confirmation of the successful delivery of their messages, allowing them to track exactly when their transmitted messages passed through the Retarus infrastructure, when they were passed on to the mobile carriers or when they arrived at their recipients. By using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/sms\/\">Retarus Cloud SMS Services<\/a> retailers benefit from flexibly scalable transmission capacities and the highest levels of transaction security.
