Pharmacies, medical centres and other health organisations have been turning to SMS during the Covid pandemic and Púca has seen a recent surge in message volumes in this sector.
When disaster strikes you need to be able to communicate quickly and reliably, maximising your chances of the message being read. Here's why SMS is still the best for emergency alerts.
Púca is very proud to be providing our secure SMS platform capabilities to BT to help them deliver the Republic of Ireland 112 SMS Emergency service, which went on to win an eGovernment award.
“Púca’s messaging platform has really come into its own during the pandemic when we have had to notify our member pharmacies of time-sensitive Covid and vaccination updates”
“We saw SMS as a key channel… Púca were very helpful in setting up the SMS enquiry service at short notice”
We were impressed by the collaboration with the Púca team, who translated our requirements into a highly functional and robust app.
“Over the years we have used Púca we have always found their support levels to be excellent.”
