About Us
Kenect is based in the "Silicon Slopes" of Utah. Our team is committed to helping businesses grow and succeed through our state-of-the-art business texting platform.
With Kenect, our goal is to make text messaging the primary communication tool for any business across the U.S. and Canada. Texting is the way the consumer wants to do business. It's time for businesses to embrace that trend and stop the constant game of voicemails, phone tag, and making customers wait on hold.
