Everything You Need For Professional Consignment Tracking
Text Steps combines the simplicity of text messaging with the power of professional tracking software. Get enterprise-level visibility without enterprise-level complexity or cost.
Core Features Overview
Text Message Input System
The Feature: Employees send simple text messages to update consignment status
The Benefit: Universal accessibility means any employee with any mobile device can participate in your tracking system. No apps to download, no accounts to create, no training required.
Why This Matters: Traditional tracking systems fail because they're too complex for frontline workers. Text Steps succeeds because it uses technology everyone already knows and trusts.
Dedicated Customer Numbers
The Feature: Each customer receives private phone numbers exclusively for their tracking
The Benefit: Your tracking data stays completely private while giving your operation a professional appearance. Employees and customers see a dedicated business number, not a shared service.
Why This Matters: Privacy and professionalism matter. Your tracking system should reflect the quality of your business, not look like a consumer app.
Configurable Process Steps
The Feature: Define unlimited custom process stages that match your specific workflow
The Benefit: Text Steps adapts to your business instead of forcing you to change your processes. Whether you have 3 steps or 30, simple workflows or complex multi-location processes, the system works exactly how you work.
Why This Matters: Every business is different. Cookie-cutter solutions force you to compromise. Text Steps gives you the flexibility to track exactly what matters to your operation.
Real-Time Admin Dashboard
The Feature: Web-based dashboard showing live status of all consignments
The Benefit: Instant visibility into your entire operation. See where every item is, identify bottlenecks before they become problems, and make data-driven decisions about resource allocation.
Why This Matters: You can't manage what you can't see. Real-time visibility transforms reactive management into proactive optimization.
