Telephony in Bigin

Telephony in Bigin

A day in the life of a sales person is filled with calls to prospective customers, trying to sell their products. They also receive various support calls from their customers.
                                    
Let's look at it this way.
A sales person who hasn't integrated phone with Bigin, has to call the prospective customer manually and then switch to Bigin to get the necessary information. Then once the call is over he has to manually enter the details in Bigin.
So his day goes by, making calls, searching for relevant data, and recording the call details. 

What if we bring phone inside Bigin?
He can make a call right from Bigin, has all the details of the record right in front and the call log is added automatically.

Integration with third-party telephony providers

In hosted PBX (also known as cloud-based PBX) systems, the telephony services are facilitated by a provider through the internet. Compared to traditional PBX systems, hosted PBX offers a lower initial equipment cost and setup cost, low service and maintenance costs, and more flexibility due to the ease of adding extra lines and extensions.

You can check the list of PBX systems that can be integrated with Bigin here.
