Two-way SMS

Real text conversations from a business number

Text customers from a dedicated business number — not your personal cell. They reply, you see it instantly in your dashboard. Real two-way conversations.

  • Dedicated business phone number — keep personal and work texts separate
  • Customers reply directly to your texts — just like a normal conversation
  • Every message is logged and attached to the customer and job record
  • Send from your phone or desktop — same conversation, any device

Boiler replacement · 4219 Oak St
Hi Jennifer, just confirming your appointment for tomorrow at 9 AM. We'll be replacing the boiler as quoted.
Sounds great! The gate code is 4821. Is there anything I need to do to prepare?
Just make sure the area around the boiler is clear. We'll handle everything else. See you tomorrow!
Perfect, thank you! 👍

Context at a glance

Every conversation lives with the job

Messages aren't floating in a separate inbox. They're attached to the job and customer they belong to — so you always have context when you need it.

01

No more phone scrolling

Stop digging through your personal text messages to find what a customer said three weeks ago. Every message is organized and searchable.

02

Office visibility

When someone in the office picks up a job, they can see the full conversation history. No "what did the customer say?" calls.

03

Dispute protection

If a customer claims they were never informed about pricing or scheduling, the message history is right there in the job record.

04

Professional separation

Keep business and personal communication separate. Your work messages live in Service Penguin, not buried in your iMessage.
