SMSGlobal: The Beginning
Like many startups, SMSGlobal was conceived in the garage of its founder, Carl Krumins.
From a young age, Krumins was passionate about technology, his curiosity often leading him to take apart devices and put them back together again. It was this spirit of reinvention that led Krumins to found SMSGlobal in 2007, with a vision to revolutionise the way businesses communicate.
SMS for business was a relatively new technology on the market, and having the knowledge and tools in the tech industry allowed Carl to offer bulk SMS at a competitive price.
Versatile and scalable, Carl's innovative strategies for success in the SMS game quickly launched the company from a garage fantasy to a bricks and mortar office in South Melbourne, with a small but dedicated team of technicians.
