Widnes · VoIP phone systems
Widnes sits between Liverpool, Warrington and Manchester, so many staff and customers are rarely in the same place. VoIP stops the phone being tied to one desk.
The Mersey Gateway Bridge has changed how people travel across the river, but traffic on the crossings is still unpredictable. When half a team is delayed, calls to the office should still be answered.
With a cloud phone the call simply rings the app on the phone of whoever has arrived, and the caller does not hear a thing.
Business parks such as Widnes Waterfront and Venture Fields generally have good fibre, while older estates by the canal and the former chemical works can be a different story. We check line speed and latency at the address before recommending a handset or a service.
For anywhere a single line would be risky, we pair fibre with wireless failover so calls continue if a cable is dug up.
Because the phone number lives in the cloud rather than on a handset, a move from one Widnes unit to another does not mean updating letterheads, vehicle livery or Google listings.
Elevate adds video meetings, instant messaging and call analytics under one login, which suits teams who also deal with customers in Cheshire, Merseyside and further afield. See the Elevate overview for what is included.
We move users in groups, starting with the least critical team, so the main line is never at risk.
Calls over the internet should be encrypted and protected against fraud. We lock down outbound destinations, set sensible spending limits and use strong passwords with multi-factor access for admin accounts.
For quality, voice traffic is prioritised on your network so a large download or a video call elsewhere in the building does not break up a customer conversation.
Calls answered by the right person, wherever the traffic is.
Yes, if the line is tested first. We review speed, jitter and backup options before sign-off.
