Privilege comes before convenience.

A firm can't afford a call to be lost, or to reach the wrong person. Both are settled in the dial plan.

The starting point

What you live with today

A firm can't afford a call to be lost, or to reach the wrong person. Both are settled in the same place.

What usually gets in the way

  • A client's call reaches the front desk, who doesn't know whether it can go through, or to whom
  • Partners give out their personal number to stay reachable, and come to regret it
  • Nobody knows, the following week, who called and when
The setup

How we settle it

Four modules are enough: an access list, a call group, an extension and a cascade. Nothing that needs an IT specialist.

A direct number per partner

Each partner has their own public number, pointing to their own dial plan. The personal number stays personal.

The front desk screens, without blocking

The plan rings the front desk first. An access list lets the numbers the partner has chosen through directly.

The desk rings, then the mobile

Follow Me rings the desk, then the mobile, then voicemail. One number to give out, for good.

Every call leaves a trace

The call list gives the caller, the time and the duration. Linked to Odoo, it feeds the file directly.

The result

What it gives, once it's in place

The numbers the partner has authorised go straight through, the rest reach the front desk, and nothing rings on a private line.

The gains

Four visible differences

Confidentiality

The private mobile stays private

Your partners are reachable on a firm number, not on their personal line.

Screening

The front desk stays in control

Except for the numbers the partner has personally authorised to go straight through.

Case file

Every call linked to a file

The call is logged with its duration and linked to the file or department, which simplifies rebilling the client.

On-call duty

Cover switches in one gesture

One switch, and calls go to whoever is on call.

One firm number is enough, and the private mobile is never given out.

One number to give out

The desk, then the mobile, then voicemail: you set the order once, and the firm's number is enough for good.

Screening, forwarding and the call list are documented screen by screen.
