It’s no surprise that more and more businesses are planning their migration to the cloud phone system. According to Research and Markets, the global cloud PBX market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 23.5% over the forecast period from 2018-2024.

Background

Richmond Marketing is an innovative trend-spotting and consumer-focused premium brand builder. The company adds value to brand owners, providing them with the necessary tools they need to thrive in the Irish marketplace. Included in their brand portfolio are energy drinks, healthy beverages, beers, ciders, wines, spirits, cocktail mixes, and healthy snacks. They are also the local distributor of Red Bull in Ireland.

Objectives and Challenges

Almost 90% of local Irish businesses tend to use cloud phone systems due to the great flexibility it brings to business communications. Richmond Marketing is no exception. Having multiple phone systems adds extra costs, financially and administratively, as well as requiring IT staff for all offices. Richmond Marketing used to have a disparate set of legacy Avaya phone systems for different branches and mainly use landlines and IP phones, lacking in flexibility and robust unified communications capabilities. What they were looking for is a phone system that is able to keep their employees connected anywhere anytime with high system availability and minimum downtime.

Some of their needs include:

  • Unifying 3 branch offices together and ensuring intelligent inter-office call handling;
  • Seamless integration with their existing VoIP infrastructure;
  • User experience enhancement with free softphone available for both desktops and mobile phones;
  • Hassle-free installation and management;
  • Reliable call center integration.

Solution

Taking all Richmond Marketing’s needs into consideration, NetTraffic, a dedicated Irish VoIP provider and Yeastar Certified Partner, who delivers innovative telephony services to business customers, recommended Yeastar Cloud PBX and successfully adopted it for Richmond Marketing.

According to the suggested solution, Yeastar Cloud PBX was deployed to unify all 3 branch offices into a single phone system, giving geographically dispersed employees the same features and communications experience. The free Linkus Unified Communications App provided by Yeastar along with the Cloud PBX take user experience to the next level. QueueMetrics integration is used to assist their customer planning team, and other features also received high recognition.
