Your mechanics have their hands in the engine. No one answers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in the meantime, the customer who wanted an appointment or a quote calls the garage across the street.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know the drill: every missed call means lost business. Especially on Monday mornings, when the shop is swamped and the phones are ringing off the hook.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news: a cloud-based garage phone system takes care of this without a single cable. You\u2019ll see how to route your calls (workshop, appointments, quotes, after-hours) using an IVR and call groups\u2014all without any hardware, no long-term commitment, and with prorated billing.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll start with how it works, then move on to the actual setup.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a modern auto shop phone system work?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s be clear: your garage is swamped with calls. Requests for quotes, scheduling appointments, after-sales service follow-ups. And while your mechanics have their hands in the engine, the phone rings unanswered.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You already know this: every missed call means a customer calling the garage next door.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A modern <strong>garage phone system<\/strong> solves this without laying a single cable. We\u2019re talking about a cloud PBX, also known as an IP-based Centerx. All the call handling and routing logic runs on the Internet, not in an electrical cabinet at the back of the shop.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How does it differ from a physical PBX? The difference is clear.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Criterion<\/th><th>Physical PABX<\/th><th>Cloud PBX (VoIP)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Hardware<\/td><td>Cabinet, cabling, on-site installation<\/td><td>None, 100% cloud<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Setup time<\/td><td>Several days or even weeks<\/td><td>Activation in a few minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scaling (adding workstations)<\/td><td>Technician assistance<\/td><td>With just a few clicks<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Kavkom, you can manage everything from a <strong>cloud-based phone system<\/strong> that works on a webphone, softphone, mobile device, or an IP phone if you already have one. No SIM card, no cell phone plan. Just VoIP.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s where cloud-based phone service is a game-changer for a busy repair shop. When your lines are busy, calls no longer go unanswered. They\u2019re placed in a queue, routed to another available department, or directed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/en\/products\/voip-telephony\/\">business VoIP solution<\/a> that handles the reception for you.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: fewer missed calls and consistent customer service\u2014even during peak times. All with no long-term commitment and prorated billing. If you suspend a line in August when business is slow, you only pay for what you use.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we\u2019ve set the stage, let\u2019s see how to organize all of this department by department.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 call scenarios to automate with a garage phone system<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all calls coming into your garage are the same. A customer who wants an appointment shouldn\u2019t be placed in the same queue as a call for a quote or an after-sales service follow-up.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic principle is the ring group: a set of extensions that ring simultaneously for the same type of request. Combined with an IVR, call routing directs each caller to the right person right from the start.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are five real-world scenarios where this approach saves you time and helps you win over customers.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simplified Workshop Appointment Scheduling<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday mornings are chaos. Everyone is calling to schedule their service appointment, and meanwhile, the repair shop is already swamped.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: your mechanic puts down his wrench to answer the phone, or no one answers at all. Two bad options.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routing rule is simple: create a dedicated call group for scheduling appointments. When the caller presses the \u201cAppointment\u201d button on the voice menu, the call goes only to the person in charge of scheduling. If that person is already on the phone, the call goes on hold with a message like \u201cWe\u2019ll schedule your appointment in a moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit? Zero missed appointments, and your shop can keep its hands on the engine. The shop\u2019s productivity no longer depends on who happens to be away from the phone.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick handling of quote requests<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes time to provide a quote. And as long as your sales representative is on the phone explaining a clutch repair, the main line remains tied up.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, other callers get no answer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution: Route quote requests directly to the sales department or the person who prepares the quotes, without going through the general reception desk. The IVR offers a &#8220;Quotes and Rates&#8221; option, so the call goes straight to the right place. No random transfers, no callers being shuffled from one extension to another.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a business leader, this translates to direct revenue. A prospect who receives a quote quickly\u2014without having to wait three minutes listening to hold music\u2014is a sales conversion in the making. And every quote request handled properly improves the quality of your customer service.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After-sales follow-up and customer feedback<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHello, is my car ready?\u201d How many times a day do you hear that phrase?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These after-sales service calls are legitimate, but they overwhelm the front desk and interrupt your teams\u2019 work. The customer, for their part, just wants reassurance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routing rule: direct these calls to the shop manager or the person tracking the vehicles currently in service. That\u2019s the person with real-time information\u2014not the front desk, which will have to call back after checking. With call recording included in Kavkom, you also keep a record of every conversation, which is useful in case of a dispute over a repair.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit is twofold: shorter wait times for customers and after-sales service that puts them at ease. And a customer who\u2019s kept in the loop is a customer who\u2019ll return for their next service appointment.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-small-wrapper\">\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER le texte et le lien -->\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Kavkom is compatible with all your sales team\u2019s tools. Schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/demander-une-demo\/\">personalized Kavkom demo<\/a> to try out the routing tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic call forwarding outside business hours<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your auto shop closes at 6 p.m. and at noon on Saturdays. But customers call at 7 p.m. or on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a system in place, these after-hours calls go unanswered. No professional voicemail, no message. Just a ringing phone with no answer\u2014and a customer who thinks the garage is poorly organized.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution comes down to one rule: set your business hours in the switchboard. As soon as you close, calls are automatically routed to a personalized message (\u201cOur hours are\u2026 please call us back starting at 8 a.m.\u201d) or a cloud-based voicemail system that records the request. You\u2019ll retrieve the message the next morning.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your professional image remains intact even when the garage is closed. The automatic gate does the work while you\u2019re at home. No more calls that make it seem like no one\u2019s running the shop.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart call routing by specialty (mechanics vs. bodywork)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a garage that does both mechanical and bodywork, calls constantly get mixed up. A bodywork customer gets the mechanic, who transfers the call, dials the wrong extension, and then has to transfer it back.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These constant transfers waste everyone\u2019s time. And the caller has to repeat their story three times before reaching the right person.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IVR menu filters all of that out upfront. \u201cPress 1 for mechanics, 2 for bodywork.\u201d Call routing based on expertise sends the call directly to the appropriate technician, depending on their specialty or availability. No more back-and-forth phone calls between the two shops.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your technicians, this is a real benefit: they only answer calls that are relevant to them. And with a <strong>garage phone system<\/strong> like Kavkom, this skill-based call routing is built right in\u2014no need to pay for an additional module. You can set up your call center without driving up your bill.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Set Up Your Cloud-Based Garage Phone System Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worried about the technical side of things? Good news: there\u2019s no need to wait for a technician, and no cables to run.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>cloud-based phone system for garages<\/strong> can be set up in four steps via a web interface, in just a few minutes. Here\u2019s how to go from a phone ringing unanswered to a reception system that runs on its own.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Choose your virtual numbers and devices<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First decision: your number. With Kavkom, you can keep your garage\u2019s existing number thanks to number portability, or choose a new geographic virtual number (a 04 area code for Lyon, a 02 area code for Nantes\u2014no matter the region).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick vocabulary note: we refer to landline numbers, not landlines. You can also add a local number in more than 50 countries if you work with clients abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, your devices. And here, you have a choice.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The webphone: You can make calls directly from your browser, without installing anything.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The softphone: a computer or mobile app, convenient for receptionists or sales reps on the go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The physical IP phone: If you prefer a real handset on your desk, just plug it in and set up your Kavkom line on it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This last point is important: compatibility with a physical IP phone is included at no extra cost. No SIM card, no cell phone plan. Just VoIP over the Internet. You can set up the front desk and the workshop however you like, with no mandated equipment.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Set Up the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IVR is the voice that greets your callers and guides them. Done right, it filters everything upfront. Done wrong, it drives customers away.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The golden rule: keep the menu short. No one wants to listen to eight options before finding the right one.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an auto repair shop, three or four choices are enough: \u201cPress 1 to schedule an appointment, 2 for a quote, 3 for customer service.\u201d Direct, clear, and effective.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the greeting message, pay attention to the tone. A professional recording, including the garage\u2019s name and hours of operation, immediately conveys a professional image. Avoid long-winded sentences: callers want to be guided, not listen to a novel.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/en\/feature\/call-routing\/ivr-interactive-voice-response\/\">Kavkom\u2019s customizable IVR<\/a> is included in all plans. You set it up yourself via the interface and can adjust the menu with just a few clicks whenever your operations change.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Create call groups and scheduling rules<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the IVR is set up, you need to decide who gets the call and when.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s what call groups are for. You group extensions by department: a workshop group, a parts group, a management group. When the caller selects \u201cappointment,\u201d only the relevant extensions ring. No one else is disturbed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, the scheduling rules. You set your business hours, for example, 8 a.m.\u201312 p.m. and 2 p.m.\u20136 p.m. on weekdays. Outside of these hours, calls are automatically routed to a recorded message or a cloud-based voicemail system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And during peak times? That\u2019s where overflow management comes into play.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When all extensions in a group are busy, the call isn\u2019t lost. It\u2019s placed in a queue with a hold message, or it\u2019s routed to another available department. On Monday mornings, when phones are ringing off the hook, this safety net makes all the difference. You can manage your call volume without a single customer falling through the cracks.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Enable monitoring and GDPR-compliant recording<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your switchboard is up and running. The question is whether it\u2019s running smoothly. And that\u2019s something you can measure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kavkom dashboard provides you with the metrics that matter most to a repair shop: call drop rate, call abandonment rate, and average wait time. If you see that 20% of Monday morning calls go unanswered, you\u2019ll know where to improve your customer service.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Call recording, which is built right in, is also useful for coaching. You can listen back to a customer service interaction to help a new employee better handle a quote request, or keep a record in case of a dispute over a repair.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, a serious note about compliance. Recording a call is not a trivial matter.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CNIL requires that callers be informed in advance, typically through a message such as \u201cThis call may be recorded.\u201d Kavkom is GDPR-compliant: traceability, consent management, and the ability to export and delete data upon request. You can stay compliant without becoming a lawyer, all while ensuring the quality of your customer service.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-wrapper\">\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne gauche \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-left\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kavkom-logo-white-footer.webp\" alt=\"Kavkom logo\"\/>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER le texte d'accroche -->\n<p class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-headline\">Boost your garage&#8217;s productivity with Kavkom. <\/p>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER href et texte du bouton -->\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/en\/free-demo-new\/?utm_campaign=agemia&#038;utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=newcta\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-btn\">Try Kavkom for free <\/a> \n<\/div>\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne droite : visuel complet \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-right\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-visual\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CTA-bas-de-page-1920-x-850-px.png\" alt=\"Overview Kavkom\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VoIP Phone Service Rates for Auto Repair Shops: How to Avoid the Pitfalls<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s be honest: telecom rate plans are often designed to confuse you. An attractive calling plan, and then when the bill comes, extra charges that nobody told you about.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You just want to know how much your auto repair shop will pay each month\u2014with no unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first pitfall to avoid with <strong>VoIP phone<\/strong> service <strong>for a garage<\/strong>: confusing the different plans. An entry-level plan for \u20ac8 may seem unbeatable, but it\u2019s actually an annual plan and covers only incoming calls. For a garage that receives a lot of calls but also calls its customers back (for quotes, after-sales follow-ups, and repair updates), that\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plan that&#8217;s really perfect for a garage is the one for \u20ac30 per month. It includes unlimited incoming and outgoing calls to landlines and cell phones in France, with no long-term commitment. And if you\u2019re a heavy call center user (up to 500 minutes per day), the plan goes up to \u20ac50 per month.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Offer<\/th><th>Price<\/th><th>Coverage<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Entry-level<\/td><td>\u20ac8\/month (billed annually)<\/td><td>Incoming calls only<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SME Plan<\/td><td>\u20ac30\/month, no commitment<\/td><td>Unlimited incoming and outgoing calls (France)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Call Center<\/td><td>\u20ac50\/month, no commitment<\/td><td>Unlimited, heavy usage (up to 500 min\/day)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a typical auto repair shop that calls its customers and provides a few quotes, the \u20ac30 Standard plan more than covers its needs. No need to overpay.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s where prorated billing changes everything. Is your garage running at a slower pace in August? Cut a line\u2014you only pay for what you use. Compared to a competitor that offers a 25% summer discount, this approach is still more cost-effective: you don\u2019t pay at all for what you don\u2019t use.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key point: zero hidden fees. No setup fees, no cancellation fees, no minimum number of lines. The price listed is the price you pay.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And all features are included. IVR, monitoring, call recording, skill-based routing: no extra charges. While others reserve these options for premium plans, you get them right from the start.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-wrapper\">\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne gauche \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-left\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kavkom-logo-white-footer.webp\" alt=\"Kavkom logo\"\/>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER le texte d'accroche -->\n<p class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-headline\">Try Kavkom for free with no obligation to boost your garage\u2019s productivity with Kavkom, the 100% cloud-based <strong>business phone<\/strong> system. <\/p>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER href et texte du bouton -->\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/en\/free-demo-new\/?utm_campaign=agemia&#038;utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=newcta\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-btn\">Schedule a demo<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne droite : visuel complet \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-right\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-visual\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CTA-bas-de-page-1920-x-850-px.png\" alt=\"Overview Kavkom\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Checklist for Optimizing Auto Repair Shop Call Management<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve read it all, and you see the value. Now for the final step: make sure that taking action is as simple as it sounds.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you get started, ask yourself the right questions about your current call flow. Five minutes of thought can save you from a poor configuration.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How many calls do you miss each day, especially during the Monday morning rush?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which departments deserve their own routing line (workshop, quotes, body shop, after-sales service)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are your actual business hours, and what happens when you close?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you need to keep a record of conversations by recording calls?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have those answers in mind, deployment goes quickly. Really quickly.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No need to wait for a technician, no service interruptions. You activate your account, configure the IVR and your call groups via the web interface, and you\u2019re up and running the very same day. A <strong>garage phone system<\/strong> like Kavkom gets up and running in just a few minutes, whereas a traditional provider takes days.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that often puts hesitant customers at ease is number portability. You keep the landline number your customers know by heart\u2014the one printed on your business cards and invoices. There\u2019s no need for your entire customer base to learn a new number.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And since there\u2019s no commitment and billing is prorated, you can try it out risk-free. If it doesn\u2019t work out, you can cancel. No hidden fees, no cancellation fees.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to see if it works for your garage is to try it out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-wrapper\">\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne gauche \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-left\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kavkom-logo-white-footer.webp\" alt=\"Kavkom logo\"\/>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER le texte d'accroche -->\n<p class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-headline\">Boost your sales teams\u2019 productivity with Kavkom, the 100% cloud-based <strong>business phone<\/strong> system. <\/p>\n<!-- \u270f\ufe0f MODIFIER href et texte du bouton -->\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/en\/free-demo-new\/?utm_campaign=agemia&#038;utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=newcta\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-btn\">Schedule a demo<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \u2500\u2500 Colonne droite : visuel complet \u2500\u2500 -->\n<div class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-right\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-cta-custom-basic-visual\" src=\"https:\/\/kavkom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/CTA-bas-de-page-1920-x-850-px.png\" alt=\"Overview Kavkom\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways for Your Garage<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A cloud-based VoIP phone system automates call handling and routing to your various departments (workshop, quotes, appointments) without requiring any on-site hardware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configuration using call groups and IVR helps eliminate missed calls while ensuring your mechanics aren\u2019t bothered by calls that don\u2019t concern them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No long-term commitment and prorated billing offer total flexibility, making it ideal for adjusting your costs to the seasonal nature of your business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All key features (monitoring, call recording, call routing) are included out of the box at no additional cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switching to a modern phone system is no longer a complex project that takes weeks to set up.
