Effective communication is becoming ever more critical for businesses. Research shows that customers want personalised communication as well as a control over the channel through which they receive said communication.

Traditionally, it is costly and complicated to integrate real-time communication (e.g. WhatsApp, text messages, phone calls) onto websites and apps. But communication platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) provides a complete framework through API and removes the need for companies to build their backend infrastructure and interface.

VoiceSage offers companies a cloud-based platform to add SMS, rich media messaging, voice, social & email channels into their business processes.

We have spent years developing our technology and believe it is better than our competitors. We have put in place a partnership with a payment gateway provider, giving us a portion of transfer & other fees from the increasing volume of payments we process, helping increase revenue. In our Fiscal Year to June 2021 we generated Sales of €5,75m with a Net Profit of €273k.

With a track record of working with and adding value to our blue-chip clients, we believe this is the right time for us to expand.

The CPaaS market is poised for 470% growth in the next six years; this funding round will enable us to invest in marketing and sales to strengthen our market share in the UK and expand into the European market.
