Why we built CloudMetis
SMS is still the most reliable way to reach customers in Kenya. Whether it’s a payment reminder, a flash sale alert, or an OTP code — if it’s important, it goes by text.
But the tools available to Kenyan businesses for sending SMS have been either too expensive, too complicated, or too unreliable. We built CloudMetis to fix that — a platform that makes bulk SMS as simple as writing an email, with the reliability your business depends on.
What you can do with CloudMetis SMS
CloudMetis gives you everything you need to manage SMS at scale:
- Quick Send — Type a message, pick recipients, hit send. Cost estimate shown before you commit.
- Campaigns — Schedule one-time or recurring campaigns. Set it and forget it.
- Templates — Reusable messages with variables like {{first_name}}. Personalised messaging at scale.
- Delivery Reports — Real-time status for every message. Filter by network, campaign, or status.
- Wallet — Prepaid balance, top up via M-Pesa or bank transfer. No monthly fees.
- Developer API — RESTful API for programmatic sending. Webhook callbacks for delivery status.
Who it’s for
CloudMetis is built for any business that communicates with customers by SMS:
- Marketing teams sending promotions, launches, and seasonal offers
- Operations teams sending order confirmations, delivery updates, and appointment reminders
- Developers integrating OTP and transactional SMS into their applications
- Schools and institutions sending parent notifications and announcements
