挑战
Kitestring 是一款个人安全短信应用程序,它面临着创建可靠方法以确保人们安全到达预定目的地的挑战。这个想法是由麻省理工学院的研究生斯蒂芬·博耶 (Stephan Boyer) 提出的,他想在女友步行回家时穿过旧金山一个危险的街区时确保她的安全。博耶的目标是开发一款应用程序,让她可以设置步行回家的时间,并在回家后通过短信进行登记。挑战不仅在于确保及时可靠的消息传递,还在于将服务扩展到大众。该应用程序需要可靠、可扩展且易于任何人使用,无论他们是否拥有智能手机。
关于客户
Kitestring 由麻省理工学院研究生 Stephan Boyer 于 2014 年创立,旨在确保女友穿过危险街区回家时的安全。该应用程序最初是为家人和朋友设计的,但博耶很快意识到对公众的潜在好处,并向大众推出了该服务。推出后一周内,Kitestring 的客户群从几个朋友和家人增加到 10,000 人,并在接下来的几个月内超过 80,000 人。 Kitestring 现已在美国和英国上线,并继续扩展到新市场。
解决方案
Boyer 选择使用 Twilio SMS 来确保及时可靠的消息传递。用户在 Kitestring 的网站上创建一个帐户,输入电话号码,然后收到一条带有验证码的短信。设置帐户后,用户输入紧急联系人的电话号码。要使用紧急通知解决方案,用户需要发送一条短信,指定他们即将开始执行的任务需要多少分钟。如果用户在行程结束 5 分钟后未能回复 Kitestring 的登机短信,Kitestring 会自动使用 Twilio SMS 联系用户的紧急联系人。 Boyer 相信,借助 Twilio 的平台,他可以轻松扩展并轻松为 Kitestring 构建新功能。
