The situation
Opticians
Customers wait for updates on eyewear readiness and may miss phone calls, while staff spend time making manual notifications.
A practical workflow
- Input available order numbers and expected pickup windows into the SMSMobileAPI system.
- Trigger an automated SMS when new orders are ready for pickup.
- Reply management: Staff confirm pickup status based on customer SMS responses.
Why it helps
Customers know exactly when to collect their eyewear, enhancing satisfaction and freeing up staff from follow-up calls.
What to check first
Never include prescription or vision details in SMS notifications. Order read-back info must be confirmed in-store or by phone.
