What's Pingup?

With Pingup, there's finally a way to text message businesses. You get the service you need, the way you want it. And it's free. So why would you still call taxis, salons, restaurants, stores and other local businesses?

Now you can text businesses just like how you text your friends. Download the app and see for yourself (you can Pingup us your thanks later).

 

What is Pingup?

How Pingup works:

Want to change your hair appointment? Looking for the closest coffee shop? Search for a particular business or browse what's nearby with just a few taps.

Searching for numbers and suffering through hold music are a thing of the past. Text the business directly to request a taxi or ask about hours.

Since you're not stuck on hold you can get back to work. Or tackle your to-do list. Or learn to play the banjo.

What will you use Pingup for first?

Taxis

Forget whistling or flashing some leg. Pingup your next taxi - without the fees or surcharges.

Food

Place orders, make reservations or get the daily specials. Pingup puts the "bon" in "bon appetite."

Beauty

Make appointments faster than you can say "just a trim" or "manicure with paraffin treatment."

Wellness

There's no easier way to say, "sign me up for that spin class" or to book a massage with Lars!

Hospitality

Make a reservation or contact the concierge without having to call the front desk. Now that's enjoying your stay.

Retail

Check hours, availability and the latest sales. And, no, this Pingup does not make you look fat.

What they're saying about not having to talk.

Cab apps are boring. Life is more than a cab. You just need a cab to get where you're going. With Pingup, you can text to call the cab and then text to make dinner reservations. You can call the cab and text to go to the hair stylist.

I've been running the company for 13 years and we've always done the same thing, but since we began using Pingup seven months ago we've doubled where we were last year in terms of pickups. That's massive growth. We always go up, but we've never doubled in one year.

If you have a question about something, you don't have to call a 1-800 number. Instead, using Pingup, you can text your question or feedback and someone from the company can respond, potentially helping reduce the time it takes for customer service issues to be resolved, thereby reducing the amount of minutes spent on the phone along with the annoying hold music.

A Platform, Not an App: Boston-based technology start-up Pingup provides a messaging platform that allows consumers and businesses to communicate with each other by texting, the preferred medium of a new generation.
