3CX Live Chat Benefits

RK
Head CX at Tecrivuelt

3CX moved to WebRTC, which was not the case earlier. That has kind of given us some kind of flexibility, especially during these lockdowns. Installation of host-based applications or legacy applications on Windows or macOS was becoming a bit of a challenge. WebRTC runs pretty smoothly on every system, which has helped a lot. It is easier to configure, so there is less room for customization unless we perform very specific things.

3CX Live Chat has improved response times. When customers have issues or questions, you need to get answers quickly and easily. On a phone conversation, you can sometimes get bogged down in a lot of superfluous details. With texting, that doesn't seem to happen as much. You can respond quickly, and one representative can take care of many customers through the messaging app, so you can multiply one person's efforts. So our customers are receiving a much greater level of customer service since we started using the chat option.

Owner at Cerberus IT Solutions

One of the biggest benefits of using 3CX Live Chat in our organization is it just works. It does not require a massive amount of technical know-how in configuring it. The guides produced by 3CX are very clear, and feedback from customers is good. It is convenient and it does what it needs to do, which is fantastic. The solution has been a very good fit-out of the box, and we are very pleased with it.

ICT Manager at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

My entire organization is spread out across Australia and with the use of 3CX Live Chat I can access the system through the application on the go from any mobile connection. The employees can use the system and I can transfer calls to my representatives out in the field and we can chat with them.

Another feature that I did enjoy that we started to adopt is the customer service help options into our websites. The communication comes through on the desktop as a chat and whichever service agent is available picks up that chat and can reply to customers directly on the website. This has enhanced our customer service relations. It added another channel that clients can get a hold of us and chat directly with our agents. We have benefitted from the use of 3CX Live Chat.

Prior to using this solution, there were difficulties with communication between the client and the distributor and our sales team, marketing team. That was improved after deployment of this solution. Because we integrated this voice solution with the video solution, we allow our distributor, our client, customers to log in to our portal to directly interact with our salespersons.

Owner at a integrator with 51-200 employees

I have always provided computer and networking support for my clients, but they continually asked for phone system support as well and I don't always have to send them to a competitor. Since I found 3cx, I can now offer telephony services to my clients as well and it has allowed my company to become more well rounded without spending thousands to train on a proprietary PBX.

Senior Network Systems Engineer at a tech services company

It has allowed for more flexibility and easier deployment/operation for more of our technicians, who might not otherwise have specialized in voice training. It is quite an intuitive system to deploy. It can be as simple as you need, as well as complex as you need. Because it’s quite easy to deploy and operate, it has allowed us better disaster recovery options for our clients. We’ve had some clients that have had to evacuate from local wildfires, which has allowed us to be able to move their system onto a temporary VM server in our data centre and still allowed them to make and receive calls, allowing their business to continue to function. We’ve also had to rapidly deploy the phone system for a local hotel, whose aging phone system finally bit the dust, and getting in the special board, meant thousands of dollars to re-invest into their old system. This allowed them the opportunity for a new, scalable system. Because 3CX is a software system and not entirely hardware, it allowed us to rapidly get the hotel online to a functional state, all within software. As we could get the hardware parts in, we restored more functions to the main operations to get back to normal.

One example would be when technicians are out to a service call and a customer calls in asking for them. The receptionist can transfer the call to his remote extension.

Another example is the integration. An incoming call to the tech department automatically opens a new case in our CRM for the technician to log the issue. It's similar to the sales department when a new lead opens up for the sales person to log (and later on follow up customer requirements).

Whenever we have a new joiner, we just need to install 3CX software which is part of the deployment template or purchase a wired phone, depending on the user needs and it’s basically plug ‘n’ play, since it takes only few minutes to create an extension bound to the respective IP address and you’re good to go!

By moving to 3CX we have been able to better measure the performance of our call centre during peak call periods to accurately determine staffing numbers. The removal of our hardware based PABX has greatly reduced expense in terms of direct hardware replacement, time required to apply firmware updates, and downtime when hardware fails.

Chat has been very helpful.  It allows us to paste web URLs, account information over to others in the office when we're on the phone with them.  Quicker then email or trying to dictate over the phone.

If I or any employee is sitting behind a desk waiting on phone calls, we are missing a lot of opportunities, with the 3CX android app and push services our offices are now where ever I, my android and my laptop are.  We are a 100% soft-phone installation, either on Smartphones or Windows soft-phones the only time I use a physical desk-set is when I am at a clients location making a test call from their system.

It has allowed us to create a natural flow of incoming telephone calls, without the need of having a full time receptionist. This has saved the company a lot of money in the long term. Also, we can make sure that all inbound calls are always answered by someone, even if there is no one in the office since we have set it up to forward calls to our mobiles so customers will always be able to talk to someone.
