Redtail Expands Advisor Texting Platform

Redtail Technology has upgraded Redtail Speak, its compliance-approved, real-time communication platform for financial advisors, with enhancements it said Tuesday are focused on improving collaborative processes and accessibility, both for those who use Redtail’s CRM and those who don’t.

High demand from financial advisors for compliant text messaging options led the company to expand Speak’s breadth to include the entire financial advisory community, it said.

In addition to adding access to non-Redtail users, Speak’s latest enhancements provide efficiencies that it said “recognize advisors’ need for on-demand, real-time communication solutions.”
