Here at Cennox HQ we have been developing a range of solutions to aid the everyday working of remote Kiosks and ATM's. Our services focus on Connectivity, Tracking, Promotion and Security and are designed to enhance a business’s remote machine estate.

ATM connect is a service designed to deliver ATM estates with a quick, reliable and measurable connection.

ATM connect provides blisteringly fast mobile access with download speeds of up to 7.2mb/s utilising the latest HSDPA technology. Where local networks do not support HSPA technology ATM connect automatically searches for 3G (UMTS) EDGE or GPRS Making the solution one of the most versatile on the market.

Cennox find success with full service Bluetooth campaigns.

Cennox Have recently started supplying Bluetooth technology to companies that want to expand their marketing potential and reach new customers. Bluetooth or proximity marketing can be used in a number of ways to attract/inform and entice potential clients within the immediate proximity of a business. Bluetooth marketing has been used by both big and small brands as a way of building up awareness. The advantage of a Bluetooth campaign is that the results can be measured instantly through the response of consumers. Many outlets use this form of marketing to send out messages on sales promotions to customers in store.

Cennox have the ability to set businesses up with devices and can also create interactive and creative adverts for them. Recently Cennox won business in the retail, and sporting markets. The companies are using Bluetooth to promote various in-house sales promotions. Recently Cennox have worked with a football club in league one to provide Bluetooth devices that can broadcast messages to the terraces. Stephen Hart, managing director of Cennox said;

"We're really happy to have gained business from such a large institution. Stadiums are the perfect place for Bluetooth devices because messages and promotions can reach large numbers of people at one time."

If you think that this new type of marketing could work for your business or you are interested in finding out more about Bluetooth then contact us; 01277 621 106 or text info to 61666.

Cennox Launch Schooltext Service.

After the snow fell last year there was COMPLETE confusion between both parents and children at schools across the country. It appeared that there was no easy way of teachers quickly informing parents of whether their school was open or closed. Parents had to listen to the radio for up to half an hour to get information on closures, the phone lines were blocked and teachers found it hard to update school websites remotely. We therefore decided to create a service that would enable teachers to communicate with parents instantly and that would be available 24/7. The following week Schooltext was born.

The Cennox Schooltext system allows teachers to broadcast SMS messages instantly to the whole school in a cost effective and efficient way. We understand the fact that teachers might want to communicate with parents remotely, therefore we decided to supply each school with two mobile phones that are ‘whitelisted’ to the system. This means that teachers can broadcast messages remotely from their mobiles, even abroad. Each school has the ability to ‘whitelist’ as many mobile phones as they need to so that teachers from all year groups can broadcast messages.

Since the initial development of Schooltext the system has become more effective and has more features. We now run a list manager service which enables teachers to target groups of students or a whole year group for more direct messaging. Like Hometext the Schooltext service is on 24/7 enabling teachers to contact parents at weekends or evenings if need be. The system also has the ability to enable parents to pull down information from the school diary, a simple keyword + diary enables users to do this. Schools using the service have found it invaluable when returning from trips in letting parents know when the bus will be back. Other uses of Schooltext included reminding parents of special assemblies, school trip payments, school closures, non uniform days, Club information, Calendar changes the list goes on.....

Cennox Launch Home Information Service.

This week Cennox successfully launched Hometext! Hometext is an automated SMS system that allows estate agents to advertise property details directly from their agency boards. Our unique service firstly allows agents to choose the right style and colour label for their boards so that it fits nicely with their brand. Each label will have a unique code displayed on it - when a client sends a text to the code, our system will relay any property details immediately. We have a team of customer service specialists on hand to work closely agents to ensure that the service is easy to use and is also used to its full potential.

Our online system enables agents to manage and amend property details 24/7 allowing them to update the system on price changes and general details. Texts are charged at a standard message rate meaning the information requested by some potential clients will be completely free depending on their mobile service plan.

Stephen Hart managing director of Cennox said,

“I’m pleased with the system we have in place, we are already receiving positive feedback from Agents and homebuyers alike, it is user friendly and can be adapted by agencies large and small.”

We have agents already using Hometext with great success. One agent in Essex said,

“The Hometext service has been a new and cost efficient way of advertising property details, we’ve had a great response from potential clients who’ve said that they were able to get an offer in quickly rather than searching the internet to find the details when they got home.”
