Unlike other online text message services, Alpaka is not for software developers or bulk marketing, it is a scheduling and appointment calendar service for small businesses that need to keep customers informed in real-time to reduce appointment no-shows and lost revenue.
Once you add an appointment, templated text messages are automatically personalised to remind your customers when their appointments are taking place. No more sending texts manually.
Alpaka SMS also acts as an inbox for responses so your team can access replies centrally.
There are no restricted or premium price features - we only charge you for what you use.
We are currently in a public BETA. If you would like to know more or become one of our test sites please register your interest below.
