Your team doesn’t need to be sitting at a desk. With softphone mobile apps installed on their smartphones, your office phone system goes wherever your technicians go. They can answer office extension calls, transfer calls to other vans, and check voicemails right from the road.

Yes. You can seamlessly port all existing landline, mobile, or toll-free numbers over. Keeping your long-standing local presence and advertised marketing numbers intact.

You can configure automated after-hours schedules:

Examples, and not limited too:
– Emergency Cascade: Route emergency calls through a smart ring list (e.g., rings Tech A; if no answer within 15 seconds, rings Tech B or an on-call manager).
– Smart Filtering: Route urgent calls directly to an on-call mobile app while directing standard inquiries to voicemail or next-day scheduling.

No. Outbound calls and SMS messages sent from the mobile app display your main business phone line. This protects technician privacy and ensures customers always call your business directly when booking follow-up work.

Because your phone system is hosted in the cloud, it stays up even if your physical shop loses power. Calls automatically continue routing to your technicians’ mobile apps or backup lines without missing a beat.

Yes. Automatic call recording can be enabled across all lines. This provides audio proof of scope discussions, verbal estimates, and job dispatch details to resolve disputes quickly.

No. All essential features, including auto-attendants, call recording, mobile apps, call queuing, and custom greetings, are included as standard capabilities without hidden add-ons or unexpected costs.

Not at all. You can run 100% on softphone apps via smartphones, laptops, or desktop computers. If your front desk manager prefers a physical desk phone, plug-and-play IP handsets can easily be added.
