Chattanooga Startup Text Request Shortlisted For Global 2021 SaaS Awards

  • Tuesday, July 27, 2021
Chattanooga-based startup, Text Request, has been named a finalist in the 2021 SaaS Awards in the category “Best SaaS Product for Small Business/SMEs.” This is the second year in a row that the business has earned this distinction.

Now in its sixth year of celebrating software innovation, the Software-as-a-Service Awards program accepts entries worldwide, including the US, Canada, Australasia, EMEA and UK. Categories for 2021 include Best Enterprise-Level SaaS and Best Data-Driven SaaS, alongside new categories including ‘Bespoke SaaS Solution’. 

“Just as SaaS technologies have been vital in pivoting organizational functions to respond to global crises, they will be essential as we look forward to returning to normal levels of productivity,” said James Williams, head of operations for the SaaS Awards.
“The shortlisted candidates announced today have made it through that first round. They represent truly innovative thinkers in the SaaS industry, whether they’re freshly-funded disruptors or established names. Our judges have some incredibly difficult decisions to make before announcing the final winners in each category of the software awards at the end of August.”

“To make the SaaS Awards shortlist two years in a row is an honor. It recognizes the hard work and commitment of the Text Request team to continually innovate,” said Brian Elrod, CEO at Text Request. “The past year has been filled with so many unanticipated twists and turns, and for us to earn this distinction again is a testament to our flexibility and our ability to excel at the highest levels on behalf of our clients no matter the circumstances.”

Final SaaS Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday, Aug. 31, and the program will return in Spring 2022. Hundreds of organizations entered, with international entries coming from North America, Canada, Australia, UK, Europe and the Middle East.
