Ideal Customer
- Skipio's sweet spot is small-to-mid-sized local businesses and franchise operators — particularly those with high inbound lead volumes and limited inside sales staff — that rely heavily on text-based outreach for lead follow-up and appointment setting.
- Fitness franchises, home services companies, multi-location healthcare clinics, and chiropractic networks are explicitly called out as ideal users.
Key Differentiators
- Skipio positions itself as a purpose-built conversational texting and AI-powered communication platform for local businesses and franchise operators, distinguishing itself from generic bulk SMS tools through its emphasis on two-way, human-feeling automated conversations using local 10-digit phone numbers rather than short codes or toll-free numbers.
- Its newest flagship product, Skip (the Managed AI Employee), claims to answer 100% of inbound calls, qualify leads, send intelligent follow-up texts, and push structured data to CRMs — operating 24/7 across all business locations in over 100 languages.
Industries Served
- Skipio targets a broad range of SMB-oriented verticals including fitness and gyms, home services (HVAC, roofing, plumbing), education and private tutoring, beauty and wellness, photography, insurance, mortgage, professional services, real estate, direct sales, automotive, and healthcare clinics.
- The platform is particularly prominent in franchise-heavy sectors such as boutique fitness studios and home services chains.
Service Coverage
- Skipio operates primarily across the United States and Canada, serving local businesses, multi-location operators, and franchise networks in North America.
- The company is headquartered in American Fork, Utah (situated in Utah's 'Silicon Slopes' tech corridor), with its registered address listed as 615 North 150 East, Alpine, Utah.
Partnerships
- Skipio's most prominent technology integrations include HubSpot, Zapier (enabling connections to 30,000+ apps), Calendly, Keap, Zoho, ClickFunnels, MINDBODY, Zen Planner, ClubReady, Mary Kay InTouch, and Google Sheets.
- A notable strategic partnership was formed with Momence, a studio management platform for fitness and wellness businesses, to integrate Skipio's SMS marketing tools directly within the Momence platform.
Company Size & Ownership
- Skipio was founded in 2016 by Nick Greer and Randy Garn and is legally structured as Skipio, LLC. Employee counts across data sources vary but consistently fall in the 11–50 range, with more recent figures pointing to approximately 23–39 employees.
- Estimated annual revenue is most commonly cited at approximately $8.2 million, reflecting significant growth from roughly $1.1–1.2 million in 2021–2023.
Compliance & Certifications
- No publicly documented SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, or ISO 27001 certifications have been identified for Skipio through available sources.
- The platform does assist customers with carrier compliance by supporting 10DLC (10-Digit Long Code) registration through The Campaign Registry, which is the US carrier-mandated framework for compliant business-to-consumer A2P SMS messaging.
