Covid-19 caught many businesses unprepared for remote work. Employees had to quickly adapt by using their personal messaging apps to communicate. It works to an extent, but personal information (status, phone number etc) is disclosed and you are unable to record and log calls. 3CX was built for mobility, with remote work apps that offer secured communication for the whole team. With the iOS and Android applications, business communication is no longer tied to the office building. Take your extension with you anywhere and work on-the-go. Reply to business SMS, Facebook and website messages, make and receive calls, chat with co-workers, start a video call on the fly and ensure your customers are satisfied even if you’re working remotely. With 3CX your remote teams retain productivity and stay connected at all times to colleagues and customers.
Know exactly who is calling before you pick up the phone: integrate your CRM software or helpdesk system with 3CX. Have the customer record open and ready, and see when they called last, who they spoke to and what it was about. Save your agents time and IMPRESS your clients with customer service records that make handling issues more efficient. You will have happier customers and happier agents, as they are able to handle more calls and make more sales! The integration also allows you to call directly from your CRM system.

Work seamlessly across both apps, making and receiving calls without ever leaving the interface of your customer relationship management software! You’ll give your sales team wings.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could handle your calls, check colleagues’ status, answer messages and video call, all from one central location? With the 3CX Web Client / Windows Desktop App you can do all of this and more. Simple for remote workers to use at home or on the road, and easy to manage, greatly reducing admin headaches.

Users can login from anywhere with their 3CX credentials or Google or MS 365 accounts, and make and receive calls in a single click. What’s more, advanced call center features such as queues and wallboard make managing inbound calls a walk in the park. Make remote work easy and productive, and keep your team connected, always.

Statistics show more than half of all customers prefer to chat with someone in real-time! Installing a live chat solution on your website will not only improve customer satisfaction, it will also increase your lead conversions. But what if a query becomes too hard to handle over chat? Enter 3CX Live Chat. By integrating live chat with our phone system, website visitors can chat with agents in real time, and can switch to a live call or video call in a single click – with no dialling of phone numbers. That same agent can answer immediately from their 3CX Web Client, Windows Desktop App or mobile app. How’s that for customer service? What’s more you get to keep all your communication on one platform, including chats coming through your business Facebook page and business sms. Watch conversion rates and customer satisfaction skyrocket. Save on admin time, and monthly software subscriptions!
Customers want to have their calls answered quickly. They expect you to know who they are and what was said last time they called without being transferred multiple times.

You know that feature on your Facebook business page – “usually responds in …”? When that says something like “3 days”, having a Facebook page can hurt your business more than it helps. With 3CX Facebook and live chat integration you can save time, increase customer satisfaction and boost conversions. Connecting with your customers is easy; messages are delivered immediately to the web client and smartphone apps, so agents can answer, transfer and resolve customer queries from the same platform they use for all other communication. 3CX’s Facebook integration means that there’s no need to give multiple agents access to your all important Facebook page. Simply complete the integration with your Facebook account, assign incoming chats to a specific queue, and your agents will be able to respond as they would a live chat. Without ever opening the Facebook app or being granted admin permissions.
Do your employees still use consumer apps to send and receive business SMS messages? Are they giving out WhatsApp and personal contact information to chat with colleagues and customers? Not only is this very personal, unmonitored and unlogged, it is also unprofessional. With the 3CX mobile apps for iOS and Android, users can send and receive instant text messages with a designated business phone number, without giving out their personal mobile number. Incoming text messages can be assigned to queues so there’s no relying on a single agent to respond. This means that no message goes unanswered, even if an agent is out of office or on holiday – response rates will increase as will your customer service satisfaction! Answer incoming messages, send out appointment reminders, and use SMS marketing to boost business and drive customer engagement. It takes just minutes to set up in the 3CX Management Console!
