Shortcut Labs introduces the Flic Text Message Button for instant team messaging

Stockholm, Sweden – May 22,2025 – Shortcut Labs, the Swedish tech company behind the globally recognized Flic Smart Button, announces the launch of its latest innovation: the Flic Text Message Button: A physical button that sends instant, prewritten text messages with a single push.

With over ten years of experience and more than one million products sold worldwide, Flic is expanding its proven technology to help teams communicate faster and more reliably, especially in critical moments.

“We have spent more than a decade designing buttons that simplify life,” said Daniel Abdiu, Chief Commercial Officer at Shortcut Labs. “The Flic Text Message Button continues that mission by helping teams communicate instantly without screens, apps, or delay.”

Designed for real-world pressure

Whether it is a nurse needing support, a staff member calling for backup, or a concierge notifying about a VIP guest, timely communication matters. But many teams still rely on phones, apps, or walkie-talkies that can be slow or hard to use when it counts.

The Flic Text Message Button solves this by allowing users to send custom messages like “Help needed in Room 3” or “Delivery at back door” at the push of a button. Messages are sent instantly via Flic’s cloud-based text service to one or multiple recipients and can be changed at any time through the Flic app.

Built for both mobile and fixed setups

The button works in two main ways:

• Mobile use: Connected to a smartphone, ideal for users on the go
  
  
• Stationary use: Paired with a Flic Hub, ideal for key locations like desks, entrances, and hallways
  
  

Reliable technology trusted by thousands

Flic already powers millions of button presses daily across industries including healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and retail. The Flic Text Message Button builds on this mature and trusted infrastructure, offering a scalable way for teams to streamline internal communication without expensive or complex systems.
