"Texting has quickly evolved into a preferred method of communication, especially for consumers under the age of 43," said Danny Cantrell, Solutions by Text CEO/Founder.

"Therefore, providing our clients with the ability to improve the overall customer experience through advanced communication campaigns will improve conversion rates, on-time payments, reduce collection costs and facilitate the growth of solid customer relationships."
