Mackenna Herr • Jan 23, 2024

Reflecting on an impactful year at KUKUI in 2023, we took significant strides to enhance our services and streamline operations for our clients.


10DLC Text Registration in the Control Panel and Toll-Free Verification Automation

The beginning of 2023 marked the start of alerts relating to carrier regulations for 10DLC. To help our clients navigate seamlessly through complicated regulatory requirements, we implemented automation to aid in the process of getting our clients registered and ensuring compliance.

TireConnect Integration

In an effort to be sure our clients have insight to all of the customer data within their reach, we added TireConnect to our integrations! This integration provided our clients who use TireConnect with a solution that seamlessly connects our platform to capture leads and matched revenue data.

Understanding the importance of online visibility, we introduced our Google Business Profile Integration.

Our clients can now manage their profile directly from our Control Panel with any changes instantly updated to their Google Business Profile.

Control Panel Navigation Menu Update

In response to user feedback and evolving industry needs, we revamped our Control Panel’s user interface by introducing a new navigation bar just before the holidays. This enhancement is designed to offer an intuitive and user-friendly experience, making it even more convenient for our clients to access and utilize our CRM tools.
