Timber trading is moving into the 21st century with the finalisation of a deal between business-to-business online market provider TIMBERWeb and SMS (short messaging service) solutions provider (aq) limited.
TIMBERWeb will use (aq)’s ‘sms2email” service to alert its customers to enquiries by a text alert through their mobile phone. This will enable customers to have access to trading wherever they are.
Keith Richmond, chairman and chief executive officer at TIMBERWeb, said the service will prevent people from missing important business prospects.
He also said the service will improve customer relationship management which will in turn benefit the members from 160 countries who subscribe to the TIMBERWeb website.
