Multi-business VoIP system integration

Streamlining communication for Surrey Ceilings with a custom VoIP integration

Colin Wells, owner of Surrey Ceilings and several other businesses across the South East, specialises in ceilings, office interiors and office partitions. His team of four frequently travels across the UK and abroad to meet clients. With a need to streamline communications for several businesses, Colin needed a versatile phone system to support both office-based and mobile operations.

THE CHALLENGE

Unified communication: addressing multi-enterprise needs

Colin and his team faced several communication challenges that needed to be addressed to improve efficiency across their businesses. They required a scalable, cost-effective solution to manage the complexities of multiple operations. The system also had to be flexible, handling calls from different businesses on a single device while maintaining clear separation between businesses.

Additionally, migrating their existing business numbers from the old supplier without disruption was critical, offering a professional and smooth experience for both employees and clients.

THE SOLUTION

Implementing a versatile VoIP system

To tackle these challenges, we first conducted a thorough consultation to understand the communication requirements of each business. By mapping out the user journeys and specific needs, we designed a bespoke, user-friendly phone system tailored to their requirements.

Once the migration of the business numbers to the new system was complete, we set up the new software to support multiple business lines with clear separation. We provided pre-programmed physical phones for the office, delivered and configured them, and ensured the team were comfortable with the new system. Finally, we installed softphone apps on each team member’s mobile devices, enabling them to make and receive calls from any location.

Our team delivered comprehensive training on how to use the custom system and to ensure everything was running smoothly, we ran tests to verify that the system was fully functional. Ongoing support was provided for several days after installation to troubleshoot and answer any questions, helping the team adapt to the new system with minimal disruption.

RESULTS

The impact of a custom VoIP system on business efficiency

By implementing a versatile, mobile-friendly phone system with seamless integration for multiple businesses, Colin and his team now benefit from a communication solution that is both efficient and flexible. The system supports their dynamic work schedule, improves customer interaction, and has significantly enhanced their overall productivity.

Through customised training and ongoing support, we ensured that the team was equipped to make the most of their new system, leading to an overall positive impact on their day-to-day operations.

Key highlights

Enhanced flexibility and efficiency

The ability to manage calls for multiple businesses from a single device allows the team to respond to customer calls and make outbound calls from anywhere, enhancing flexibility.

Seamless customer experience

The system ensures the correct business number is displayed when making calls, maintaining a professional image across the different companies.

Improved productivity

The ability to manage calls dynamically, even while on-site, has reduced the need for backtracking to the office to address missed calls, saving valuable time.

Easy integration and management

The new system’s user-friendly design, combined with mobile softphone integration, simplifies communication management, enabling the team to focus more on their core activities.

“We worked with Colin and the team to plan out a VoIP solution that met their needs. They work with multiple different businesses whilst constantly being on the go, so it was key to ensure we setup a phone system that was flexible. Using a mixture of office phones and softphone apps on their mobiles, we were able to implement a system that compliments their business, rather than working against it.”
