Throughout storms, outages, and more, short codes have helped customers stay safe, informed, and apprised of progress--and help the company reduce costs, minimize employee fatigue, and increase customer satisfaction.
Solution
During Hurricane Florence, the company used short codes to set up a text messaging system in less than 24 hours and successfully deliver over 7 million messages.
