RouteFlow SMS
What it is
RouteFlow SMS is a shared team SMS inbox and automation layer for field and home service businesses, especially teams of 3–30 people. It is designed to sit alongside an existing CRM, field service management, or dispatch system rather than replace one. Multiple agents can use roles, routing, searchable threads, and assignment in the shared inbox. Teams can set after-hours replies and workflows, and schedule reminders, ETA messages, appointment messages, and follow-ups. Two-way messaging and MMS are supported, including job photos, diagrams, and PDFs through RCS/MMS-capable paths. The maker describes REST API support and connection patterns for CRM, dispatch, or internal tools, without naming specific third-party integrations. It handles 10DLC registration and supported inbound opt-out keywords such as STOP and END; customers still need appropriate consent and message wording. The maker says messages are not guaranteed to reach every device’s primary inbox. Pricing is on request, with monthly platform, per-message SMS and RCS, and phone number rental fees. The Windows installer requires Windows 10 version 1903 or later, 64-bit.

Who it suits
RouteFlow SMS may suit smaller service businesses, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, and locksmith teams. It is aimed at teams that already use CRM, field service, or dispatch software and want shared texting and message workflows alongside it.
