Every store, one system
Phone Systems for Retail
Retail phone calls are short, frequent and easy to lose: is it in stock, what time do you close, can you hold it for me. Multiply that across several locations and the phone becomes a real source of missed revenue — usually invisible, because nobody counts the calls that rang out.
Where retail & multi-location lose calls
Each store is an island
Separate phone lines per location mean staff can't transfer a customer to the store that actually has the item.
Nobody can get to the phone
Staff are serving customers on the floor. The phone rings at the counter and gets ignored, or answered too late.
Seasonal peaks
Holiday volume can double or triple call traffic. A fixed number of lines caps you exactly when demand is highest.
No visibility across locations
Head office has no idea which stores are missing calls or how many enquiries are going unanswered.
What we set up
The parts of the system that matter for this kind of business — configured for you, not handed over as a manual.
Multi-site support
All locations on one system with a shared dial plan — transfer between stores like an internal call.
Overhead paging
Page the floor from any handset, so a call for the back room actually gets answered.
Call queues with callback
Shoppers keep their place instead of hearing a busy signal during peak hours.
Time-specific routing
Store hours, holiday hours and after-hours flows configured once per location.
Statistics and analytics
See answered vs missed calls per store — the number most retailers have never had.
Scales in software
Add capacity for the holiday season, remove it in January.
Common questions
- Can customers be transferred between our stores?
- Yes. All locations run on one system with a shared dial plan, so transferring a customer to another store is an internal call — no dialling out, no giving the customer a different number to ring.
- Can we see how many calls each store is missing?
- Yes. Reporting shows answered and missed calls per location and per time of day, which usually reveals specific hours where the phone is being lost.
