What Power+ Found After Switching To SMS Sender 8...
• easy to learn and easy to use... Power+ staff were using the system to send messages within minutes of it being installed
• substantial cost savings... Power+ send approximately 1000 text messages a month at a cost of 8p per message or £80. If they had to call engineers mobiles instead this would cost them at least 30p or £300. Every month SMS Sender 8 saves Power+ £220, that's £2640 a year!*
• improved time and efficiency... when Power+ staff were sending text using their own mobile or telephoning engineers they would spend about a minute on each one. They are currently saving over three quarters of this time using SMS Sender 8. They can have a text message sent to every engineer in under a minute. The time savings enable staff to concentrate on other tasks that bring added value to the business.
• keeping ahead of the competition... Power+ didn't become one of the UK's fastest growing companies through luck, they always try and keep one step ahead of the competition, implementing innovation in all areas of their business. SMS Sender 8 is another tool that allows them to keep one step ahead.
• providing employees with the best tools... when Power+ initially installed SMS Sender 8 the office staff were somewhat wary of the new technology. Now the office staff love it and wouldn't be without SMS Sender 8. Indeed Power+ plus have recently expanded their SMS Sender install from the initial 3 workstations to 5 with more to follow as they expand.
• one stop shopping... Power+ have benefitted not only from using SMS Sender 8 but also from our friendly service and professional advice when purchasing extra hardware and software from 3 Square .
We fully appreciate that purchasing software can often be something of a gamble for many businesses with hard earned profits on the purchase of a program that may not be up to the job.
We also understand that many businesses might consider text messaging software to be a bit of a luxury, too expensive or just plain unusable.
We have also discovered on our journey with SMS Sender, that there are a lot of supposedly easy to use and "fully featured" programs out there that are simply rubbish.
After working with Power Plus to develop SMS Sender 8 we feel that we've succeeded in producing a program that is quick to install, easy to use, has all the features required, is not an assault on the eyes or brain and is not ridiculously over priced.
Why take our word for it? Read what Power Plus have got to say about using SMS Sender 8.

Power+ - Providing Electrical Testing For Some Of The UK's Biggest Names
Power+ are a rapidly expanding company that currently provide electrical testing to a wide range of UK companies, including household names such as Sainsburys. Since beginning in 1996, Power+ have grown to become one of the UK's top ten electrical testing companies, sending over 60 testing engineers and company representatives all over the UK.
Before installing SMS Sender 8, Power+ were contacting engineers on their mobile phones using the normal telephone system or by sending the odd text message manually via staff mobiles.
After installing SMS Sender 8, Power+ are now contacting over 50 engineers daily using our super fast message delivery system. Office staff simply enter the relevant message on their computer, choose the engineer or engineers it needs to go to and click send. Their message is delivered within 10 seconds.
Engineers get important details about their next job, overnight accommodation or other company communications direct to their mobile phones. Fast, reliable, cost effectively and without distracting them from the job in hand.
3 Square Associates were given the challenge of making the time consuming task of manually texting employees a quicker and easier process. At the same time Power+ wanted to reduce their expensive mobile phone call overheads.
After initial consultation with Power+ we began developing SMS Sender 8 to allow them to add value to their business by saving valuable staff time, thus freeing up extra time to concentrate on other more important tasks, by making the process of text delivery so much quicker and easier. We also added value in a financial sense by drastically reducing calls to mobile phones literally overnight. Power+ are now able to quickly and reliably send important information via text message to any or all of 60 employees for less than 10p per message. When compared to their previous costs of at least 30p a call to mobile phones, SMS Sender 8 is saving them over £2500 a year.
For more information about SMS Sender 8 please contact Ms. Kimberley Mason (Director) at Power+ on 01482 221522. Kimberley will be more than happy to discuss the bespoke software and hardware we've supplied and our quality of service.
Power+ employee and SMS Sender 8 user, Emma Hocking, was asked to provide some comments about the effect installing SMS Sender 8 had on her job, contacting and delivering important information to over 60 engineers, directors and other Power+ staff. Here's her story...
Emma's Story
“It all started with the friend of a colleague coming into Power+ from a company called 3 Square Associates.
I thought, here we go, another piece of software with endless hassle to contend with.
How wrong was I?
Before SMS Sender 8, I used to ask around the office for a mobile phone so I could text information to engineers and directors who where out on the road. Normally, when I was half way through a text, someone would ring and I'd loose all my info and have to start again (typical!), this was a long and drawn out job as every phone was different and I'd have to figure out how to use it.
With SMS Sender 8 I can now text at will.
It's brilliant, it makes life so simple as I can receive a room confirmation from the hotel via e-mail, copy and paste the information to the SMS message and send. This means no trying to get hold of someone on the phone when they are engaged, out of reach or the mailbox is full. When telephoning, if I can get through, I would have to repeat the address and telephone number several times and then they would have to find something to write on. I don't have to do this when I send a text message and the recipient always gets the correct information without having to write anything down.
Another bonus is that if I text a telephone number through, whoever receives it can ring the number directly from the text message.
I also love the fact that all I have to do to send multiple messages is quickly tick the names of a large number of people, type my message and then, once I press send, it goes to everyone selected. On a mobile I would have to save the message and then pick one person to send it to, then go back into saved messages and select another person to send it to and again, it was a long process.
All messages are stored in, what appears to be a never-ending memory, so I can refer back to them if necessary. SMS Sender 8 also lets me know how many characters I have left for my message but if I accidentally go over the maximum number of characters it automatically alerts me - very handy.
I love the package and would recommend it to anyone who uses text messages to contact customers and colleagues at work.
I also love 3 Square, they were all so helpful, kind and funny and kept to their promises which is a biggy in my book.
Thank you again, all the best,
Emma xxx”
