Software and API twilio.com, they provide an array of features that can be integrate via API. To start we will use the SMS feature. mixpanel.com provides analytical data for the backend. I am sure that is additional software or API that may be needed, this is just a start.
As far as the platform design, this would be up to the designer as to what will work best with the above software.
