Congratulations to hackathon winner Dylan Warwick and runner up Languteka Machebe who took part in the 22 and 23 April hackathon to reinvent the SMS at Propella Futuremakers Hub.

The system developed by Warwick will be used by Propella Futuremakers Hub to communicate with the Propella database.

“Warwick’s system was the most versatile, and met our business requirements,” says Mara Jacobs, receptionist and administrator at Propella Futuremakers Hub.

“With this new SMS system we are able to class our clients into different categories and send out different SMSs to each category,” she says.

All hackers that took part came from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and are Computer Science Students.
