01 eDesk Talk voicemail

eDesk Talk is a cloud-based voice solution that enables you to speak directly to your customers via your own dedicated phone line. All calls are logged via tickets in your eDesk Mailbox, which can include order information, notes, and tags so that you and your team have a full picture of the customer's query and history. Incoming calls are routed to support agents via round robin, and if you're not around to answer, then your customer can leave a voicemail for you, which is then added to the ticket.
