CLX Communications Signs Messaging Agreement with Local Ecommerce Leader Groupon

CLX Communications a leading provider of global cloud-based communication solutions announced that it has agreed to a new messaging partnership with Groupon, the global, local e-commerce marketplace where people discover and save on amazing things to do, see, eat and buy in their local neighbourhood.

The partnership follows a successful U.S.-based 3-month trial, implemented in the late summer of 2017. The initiative allows Groupon to provide a more comprehensive and tailored customer experience for their user base.

Groupon’s trial for messaging included use cases such as sending notifications about when new offers are launching in a user’s local area and reminders to use their Groupons.

‘We pride ourselves on connecting our users with amazing deals and experiences at some of the best local businesses in their community,’ Ryan Boyd, Director Messaging & Reliability at Groupon. ‘CLX enables us to communicate with our customers in real time and make sure they’re getting the most out of their community.’

Petter Bengtsson, VP, US Sales, commented, ‘It’s been a privilege to work on the trial with the Groupon team. We at CLX work tirelessly to provide the highest quality service and security so that global brands with time-critical communications can rely on us.’ Bengtsson continued, ‘With more global Tier 1 connections than any other provider, we look forward to supporting Groupon with the rollout of the initiative to other locations in 2018.’
