Flotek Group Unveils New Microsoft App within Teams for SMS

In a groundbreaking move, Flotek Group has announced the launch of FloSMS, an innovative embedded application within Microsoft Teams. This marks a significant milestone, particularly as Microsoft has only just released plans for this service within the US and Canada, but has made no further commitments regarding the UK. The introduction of FloSMS within Teams promises to revolutionize the way businesses communicate, providing a seamless, efficient, and secure platform for sending text messages from within the Microsoft Teams environment.

A New Era of Communication

FloSMS enables users to send text messages to individual numbers or groups within seconds, directly from a company name, and includes a comprehensive history report. This functionality positions FloSMS as a versatile and indispensable tool for businesses looking to streamline their communication processes and keep in touch faster with customers.

"We’ve built this app from the ground up due to customer demand and our own requirements to send secure messaging to customers when needed via SMS. We see Teams as an interface into many other parts of our customers' businesses, and now we can interface to FloSMS within seconds."

Jay Ball, CEO of Flotek Group
