The Problem
Irvine Commercial, based south of Coventry is a specialist insurance broker advising on a range of cover for businesses. The move to new offices prompted them to review their existing system and whether they needed to replace it or take it with them. Although it had served them well and it was reliable, they asked their telephony partner HBT for their advice on what they felt would be the best solution to support the needs of the business, both now and in the future.

The Solution
After reviewing the business requirements, HBT recommended Swyx, a software-based unified communications solution. A Swyx system provided Irvine Commercial with a flexible telecoms system with functionality to improve business processes.
HBT was responsible for installing the new phone system including all the cabling, necessary hardware and call routing. From day one Irvine were extremely pleased with how easy the Swyx system was to use. They have between 900 and 1,000 loyal customers and it is vital to always be available for them, whether in or out of the office. With Swyx’s call routing, initially set up by HBT, calls can easily be diverted and staff are able to make instant changes simply themselves as and when they find themselves off site.
When a call comes in the system (synced with the contact database) identifies and a screen pops up the caller’s details and automatically diverts them to the most appropriate member of the team. Irvines’ business relies heavily on forging strong relationships with their customers, so the communications system plays an essential part in this process, together with face-to-face contact. If a member of staff is not available, then the caller has the option to leave a message which is saved as a WAV file and sent as an email to the recipient, so they can listen to it wherever they are, via a smartphone or in the office.
