Set your current availability so that you are not disturbed by any new call alerts.

This features allows you to make yourself temporarily unavailable to receive any customer calls. All calls will route to other ring group members and will not disturb you.

Transfer calls directly to other team members directly from the SwitchSmith app.

If a team member is better placed to handle a specific topic, you can transfer any current customer call directly to them.

Ring groups provide a clear and consistent way for a team to manage calls.

SwitchSmith routes calls to ring groups that are configured for each team's requirements. Differentiated call handling logic is acheived by assigning different numbers to different groups. A sales number can have different announcements and opening times from a support number.

Auto attendants are also known as interactive voice response, or IVR for short. Auto attendants present a single number to callers, who, by choosing different options, will be be routed to different ring groups.

Use regular SIP desk phones with SwitchSmith to take calls when you are at the office.

The ability to manage your mobile on the go is great, but using a traditional deskphone is useful when you need to take a lot of calls in the office. The SwitchSmith app allows you to switch between mobile and deskphone, so that you can use your deskphone in the office and then switch to mobile when you go out. Deskphone regsitration uses industry standard SIP, so you can use any SIP enabled deskphone or softphone.

Record your own customer greetings directly in the SwitchSmith app.

Record and review custom greetings before activating them to live customer calls.

If a call is not answered within 45 seconds, forward the call to an alternative ring group.

Normally, customer calls will be handled by the participants of the primary group. However, if a call goes unanswered, it can be helpful to have the call forwarded to a different group of people who are not members of the primary group. For example, a manager might want to manage overflow calls by exception.

Opening times allow you to define core working hours.

Outside of these hours you won't be alerted to any incoming calls. Customers who call outside of your core hours will hear an announcement to say that your business is closed right now. You can record a custom announcement for this directly in the app.

Leverage contacts from your own address book.

You can or remove contacts from your address book to any ring group.

You can call directly from your phone using your public facing numbers as the caller id.

Call activity history is available for each ring group.

You can review call actiivity for any group directly in the app.
