MOBILEtechnics

What MOBILEtechnics does

MOBILEtechnics AG is a privately held Swiss business-messaging software company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Zürich, with a primary operating focus on the Swiss and DACH enterprise market. The company develops and operates an omnichannel messaging platform that enables businesses to reach customers across SMS, WhatsApp Business, Voice, RCS, Facebook Messenger, Viber Business, Telegram Business, App-Push, Web-Push, and Email from a single gateway, with intelligent routing and automatic fallback (e.g., App-Push-to-SMS, Viber-to-SMS) for guaranteed delivery. The platform is supported by SOAP and REST APIs, a custom CMS for interactive keyword flows, and integrations with third-party systems including WooCommerce, SaferPay, Telegram Bot API, Viber Business API, and enterprise CRMs.

The company's product stack is organized into three layers: a core Omnichannel Platform, modular add-ons (Marketing Automation and Chatbots), and vertical solutions including Surveys and Voting, SMS Alerting, Appointments and Reminders, Customer Acquisition, Loyalty Programs, Prize Games, and Multichannel Customer Service. Infrastructure is operated from a proprietary in-house data center in Zürich — connected via redundant fiber rings to Equinix IBX and ColoZueri — achieving 99.98% availability. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified by SGS and operates under GDPR-compliant data-handling practices, which is a procurement requirement for its target customer base of Swiss banks, insurers, retailers, and state-owned enterprises. Documented enterprise customers include Migros, IKEA Family, Coop, Swisslos, Premiumshopping, and MyCityHighlight.

MOBILEtechnics generates revenue through a combination of usage-based fees (per-message SMS and channel volume) and subscription or recurring platform/API access fees, sold via a consultative direct-sales motion with quote-based pricing for Swiss enterprise customers, supplemented by an API-first self-service pathway for developers. The company is led by Geschäftsleitung Reto Käser and has operated continuously as a bootstrapped, privately held entity with no disclosed venture funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company.
