Solution


Installation of a new reliable telephone system using Fanvil & 3CX. Deployed quickly with a fully working telephone exchange in under 24 hours. Saves money. Boosts communication efficiency.




















“We made the decision to move to a cloud-based 3CX system. It was an easy decision to choose Fanvil phones to compliment the 3CX system. We had a fully working telephone exchange in under 24 hours. The digital receptionist, call queue and ring group were easy to understand and highly customisable. 3CX fully supports Fanvil handsets, it was a very simple process to connect the two together

“Any company regardless of the size or scale should consider moving to Fanvil and 3CX. The extra functionality that you get from this combination will exceed any expectations you have for a telephone system. The reasonable price of handsets and low monthly running costs will undoubtedly save you money. We just wish we had made the change sooner!”
