Since 2006, The SMS Engine has been helping schools, colleges, sporting organisations and businesses communicate in an efficient and cost effective way.
Our Directors, both from sporting backgrounds, saw the potential of having a web browser to send SMS messages and mass communicate with members of a sporting club. This idea soon turned into The SMS Engine which helps with the functionality and management of sports clubs, by creating a platform for mass communication with players and supporters. After the SMS Engine was developed it was quickly adopted by Australia and New Zealand cricket, football, netball, cricket and rugby clubs.
The next venture was to tap into the education sector, which really started to grow for the SMS Engine in 2007. We set about creating a solution for schools, allowing schools to easily and quickly communicate with both parents and staff. Our solution was designed to be cost effective, as we were mostly working with publicly funded schools and we want to create an environmentally friendly system (no more notes home!). We were able to work with the NSW Department of Education to create an integrated solution. In 2010 we worked with PC School Software to create a solution that would integrate with their School Management Software.
On the back of The SMS Engine success, our directors expanded their business and created Ngage Software in 2013. Ngage Software sells and supports NgageCMS, a powerful and lightweight Content Management System. This software facilitates website development and provides content managers with the capabilities to upload content and/or sell products. For more information about Ngage Software and our proprietary Content Management System, NgageCMS, please visit www.ngage.software
The SMS Engine is now within the Ngage Software Pty Ltd Product Suite. Proudly Australian owned and managed, our vision is to continue to provide web and mobile based solutions that solve real problems in a cost-effective way. We are proud that we have been able to assist schools reduce costs in managing communications and we continue to do so. Our current goal is to continue to serve schools while actively seeking businesses who would benefit from the features in our SMS Engine.
