SMS Sets New Pace for CIDB Communication

The South African government’s Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) has selected Clickatell, the world’s premier mobile message carrier, to supply SMS messages for its i-Tender/ Register of Projects (RoP) system. Communication with more than 10,000 registered contractors on the CIDB database needed to be quick and inexpensive. CIDB developed a web application, which allows for the automatic generation of SMS messages to get appropriate information to stakeholders on time.
