SMS for Construction & Trades
Run promo campaigns, confirm quotes and site times and dispatch the day's jobs to your crew, all from one number.
Built for how construction and trades businesses actually text customers and crews
A trade business lives or dies on speed. The plumber who replies to a lead first usually gets the job, and a crew that doesn't know today's site address wastes the morning. Plumbers, roofers and building suppliers, concrete contractors, electricians and HVAC technicians, pest controllers, equipment hire companies and builders across Australia use Mobile Message mainly to run discount campaigns that bring in new leads, send automated delivery and quote confirmations, coordinate site times and job changes by two-way text, and dispatch the day's jobs straight to drivers and crews.
Mobile Message sends from your business's own name or a dedicated number, from 1.6¢ per message, so a winter special or a delivery confirmation looks like it's actually from you, not a generic short code. Replies land in one shared inbox your whole team can see, and the REST API lets you push job dispatch and quote confirmations straight from the software you already use.
