World-Text are pleased to announce they have been awarded a 24 month exclusive contract to supply bulk SMS services to Gateshead Council.
Expected use is for appointment reminders, course and event publicity, local emergency broadcasts, staff organisation, debt management and internal use.
SMS text messaging and particularly personalised text messaging have repeatedly shown significant benefits in reducing missed appointments, time-sensitive information, and debt management.
Gateshead Council provides ICT services to other local organisations including Schools and Academies, Northumbria Police, The NewcastleGateshead Initiative and The Gateshead Housing Company.
These other organisations are expected to use the SMS project once the initial phase of implementation is complete.
