CRM Integration

Databases and CRM systems are at the heart of all modern organisations.  Whether they contain details of customers, suppliers or prospects, they are a central store of communication between your business and others.  Telephone usage and conversations can be integrated with these systems to provide a whole host of features.

Screen Popping

Screen popping is the most common form of requested integration.  Phone Client offers off the shelf screen popping to a range of applications. Find out more about Screen Popping.

Call Data History

In an ideal world it would be great to keep a record of every contact with a customer or distributor; that way you have a history of any interaction and can plan marketing and track costs around it.

Phone Client can automatically create a log of calls to or from a client.  It can log how long the call was, what the result of the call was (account code), what line the call came in on and it can even log a hyperlink to a recording of the call.

Outbound Dialling

Initiating a call from the desktop using a short cut key or mouse click is a great deal quicker and easier than typing a number out on a telephone.  Not only does it save time for the user but it also cuts down on any misdials.

Phone Client presents the user with a number of ways to dial from a desktop application:

  • TAPI - Any applications that support 1st party TAPI will be able to dial out
  • Highlight & Dial - Most applications support our highlight and dial feature
  • API integration - For custom in-house applications, outbound dialling can be implemented easily using one of our APIs

Status Synchronisation

For CRM application that have user calendars, Phone Client can automatically place the user in and out of DND on their telephone depending on whether they are in a meeting or not.

Call Recording Links

When the Call Data History feature is used in conjunction with the Xarios Call Recorder it is possible to store a hyperlink directly to a playback window for the call.  This allows users with call recording access to play calls back straight from within a CRM package without having to go searching for the recording on the website.
