How can we help you?
BUSINESS CONSULTANCY
Communications Strategy
Since 2001, Esendex has helped businesses communicate brilliantly with their clients and staff, and we’ve learned a great deal about what makes for an effective communications strategy.
We’ll work with you to define your goals and create a plan that reflects your needs, your customers’ preferences, and that leverages the most effective channels, from SMS to voice, email to RCS.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Legacy Software Support
One challenge blocking many digital transformation projects is the need for the new initiatives to work with old systems: older operating systems, hardware, and networks. Many software solutions can’t be integrated with these, preventing adoption.
This is an area in which Esendex excels. We don’t require you to rebuild your existing setup in order to derive value from an improved communication strategy; we can integrate with pretty much any system.
AUTOMATE COMMUNICATIONS
Automations
Ideal for businesses looking to automate the bulk sending of templated message(s) to customers, from a fixed file.
Working with our expert Managed Services team, businesses can create bespoke communication workflows and auto-replies, using both simple and complex, rule-based triggers.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Custom Software Solutions
Esendex has many solutions that work out of the box, but we’ve continued to invest in our professional services team, too. By working with our PS team, you can get 100% of the solution you need, without compromise.
Whether you’re using SMS with intelligent workflows that adapt to customer behaviour, or you want to activate a multichannel solution with chatbots and agents working together to delight customers, we can help.
IMPLEMENTATION
Rapid Delivery
For Esendex, customisation is not the preserve of a few large enterprises; we work with businesses of all sizes from highly complex problem solving to a simple but effective automation. Best of all, we work quickly.
The pandemic has proven that businesses need to be agile and adaptive, and Esendex is your partner in this. We will get you the solution you need, faster, more effectively, and more affordably, than you probably think is possible.

UTILITIES
Debt collection within the utility sector
We worked with leading utility provider npower to provide a communication strategy which was intelligent, mobile-first, and facilitated self-serve. We focused on adding convenience to the customer, and also simultaneously reducing their cost to serve.
Our solution employed SMS, Email, Outbound Voice and a bespoke Mobile Journey. We integrated a bespoke decision engine which determined the best communication channel based on contact details, amount owed, and reason for leaving. If the first communication receives no response, then the engine selects an alternative channel and re-attempts contact.
The new intelligent multichannel strategy was a big success. Compared with only 4% of customers making a payment using their previous workflow, npower now enjoy a boosted rate of 19%, with 82% of customers paying the full amount.
LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Overdue council tax collection
Esendex has worked with a range of councils to develop more innovative and engaging approaches to council tax collection.
With data supplied by the council, Esendex sends an initial SMS to the overdue account holder notifying them how much they owe. Within that same SMS is a link to an automated phoneline and a Mobile Journey – payment can be taken from either.
To make a payment, residents will need their account number. If they don’t have it to hand, by texting back with their postcode, Esendex will then text or email them their account number so that they can proceed to the payment stage.
The cost to recover the outstanding debt is significantly reduced, and the added convenience of being able to make a payment on their mobile device increases the likelihood of a payment being made.
Let’s start sending, together.
