How a Lithuanian Manufacturing Company Saves €1,500 Per Month: SMS Automation Story

A Problem Familiar to Many

A month ago, a potential client called - a medium-sized manufacturing company from Kaunas. Their story was this:

"We manufacture doors based on custom orders. We have 200+ active orders, and production takes 3-6 weeks. Customers constantly call and ask 'when will my doors be ready?'. Our office staff spend 4 hours every day just answering these questions..."

Does this sound familiar?

Numbers That Shocked Even Me

I asked the company manager to calculate the real costs:

• 4 hours/day × 20 working days = 80 hours/month
• Average employee hourly rate: €20
• Monthly cost: €1,600 just for informing customers!

And these are just direct costs. Not included:

• Dissatisfied customers (when no one responds)
• Lost sales opportunities (employees are busy)
• Stress and burnout in the team

Solution: Automatic SMS Notifications

How It Works in Practice

BEFORE:

• Manager opens Excel file
• Checks which orders have changed
• Calls each customer
• Repeats the same thing 30+ times per day

NOW:

• System automatically checks order statuses
• Sends personalized SMS notifications
• Customer receives message immediately when status changes
• Manager works with sales, not calls

😊 The Human Factor

Office manager's words after a month:

"Finally I can do my job! Instead of 30 calls per day with the same questions, now I consult customers about materials, colors, options. Sales increased 15% just because I have time to communicate with new clients."

Why Is This Relevant for Your Business?

✅ You Need SMS Automation If:

• You have orders with long fulfillment cycles (manufacturing, construction, service)
• Customers frequently ask "when will it be ready?"
• Employees spend >2 hours/day informing customers
• You want to increase customer satisfaction without additional employees
• Your competitors don't use such solutions yet

❌ When SMS Automation Is Not Suitable:

• B2B with <10 clients
• One-time projects without repeat clients
• You already have a working CRM with automation
• Customers don't prefer SMS communication

Frequently Asked Questions

"Is it complicated to integrate with our system?"

No. Many systems (Cento, Rivile, Pragma) export data to Excel/CSV. That's enough to start.

"How much does SMS sending cost?"

In Lithuania, SMS costs ~€0.03-0.04. For an average business, that's ~€80-150/month.

"Don't customers want phone calls?"

Quite the opposite! 87% of customers said SMS notifications are convenient and informative. They still handle important questions by phone.

"What if the system doesn't work?"

We offer a 30-day trial period. If you're not satisfied - we'll refund your money.
