What Kenect Is

Kenect, founded in 2017 in Pleasant Grove, Utah, with a strategic growth investment from PSG announced in April 2021, text-enables a firm's existing main business number: two-way SMS with attachments, video chat, mass messages to up to 1,000 recipients, payment requests, and website text-us widgets that convert visitors into text conversations.

Its reputation module sends review invitations by text — company figures claim text requests draw over 30 times the response of email, with law firms commonly doubling their Google reviews within 90 days (vendor claims). A LawPay integration supports collecting client payments over text, and conversations log to the case file in supported systems.

It is a horizontal product — also sold to dealerships and home services — with a dedicated legal vertical and integrations spanning Clio (contact sync, event-triggered texts, conversation logging), Filevine, MyCase, PracticePanther, LawPay, and CasePacer. Pricing is not published; quote-based.

Consumer-facing firms wanting text-based intake follow-up, client communication, and review volume — with the caveat that it is horizontal software with a legal vertical, not legal-native. Firms needing deep matter-workflow behavior compare it against legal-specific communication layers.

Where It Fits in a Firm’s Stack

Kenect handles the channel itself — texting from the firm's real number, with conversations landing in the case file — where the client-experience platforms (Case Status, Hona) structure what gets communicated and when. Plenty of firms run both: milestones through the portal, ad-hoc conversation through text.

The review-generation module ties this layer back to marketing: Google review volume feeds local search and Local Services Ads performance, which the call-tracking layer then measures. Its Google-listing review data appears on CasePeer's integration list as well — a sign of how standard text-enablement has become in the PI stack.

Questions Firms Ask

Does texting come from a new number?

No — it text-enables the firm's existing main line.

Do conversations log to the case file?

Yes, for supported systems — for example, real-time conversation posting to Clio.

Is it legal-specific?

No — it is a horizontal platform with a dedicated legal vertical. Firms wanting legal-native workflow depth compare it against legal-specific tools.

Can it collect payments?

Yes — payment requests over text through the LawPay integration.
