THE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

Improve customer reach and team collaboration with connected workforce communications

Distributed teams often rely on a mix of desk phones, mobiles, Microsoft Teams, cloud telephony and local processes, making it harder to manage communications consistently across the organisation. A unified communications approach creates a more consistent experience for your people, helping customers reach the right person while giving managers clearer visibility across teams and locations.

Everything you need to easily manage workforce communications

 

Business number on mobile

Let users make and receive business calls from supported mobile devices while keeping their personal number private.

Teams or Unity calling

Support office, hybrid and mobile teams with the right calling environment for their current estate and user needs. Teams Direct Routing can connect users to external telephone services.

Unified routing and voicemail

Use managed call routing and voicemail to help customers reach the right person, wherever that employee is working.

User policy and governance

Keep user access and number ownership under control as employees join, leave or change roles. Redcentric can also help apply consistent policies across approved devices.

Visibility and reporting

Give managers a clearer view of missed calls and queue pressure. Reporting can show where demand is building across teams or locations.

Adoption and service support

Help employees use the service confidently from launch. Managers can then use reporting to improve how teams respond to demand.

How Redcentric delivers connected workforce communications

From first conversation to fully running – in four steps.

 

Map

We map a clear picture of how your teams communicate, including the numbers and devices they rely on. This shows us where customers may struggle to reach the right person.

Design

We design a business calling model around the way your teams work. This defines how calls should be routed and which policies are needed to keep the service consistent.

Deploy

We configure the agreed calling service and user access before managing the move to the new environment. We also test the setup and prepare employees to use it.

Optimise

Once the service is live, reporting helps managers identify missed demand and communication bottlenecks. These insights can guide future improvements.


 

In practice with Medivet

How Medivet connected 375+ practices with managed cloud telephony.

See all case studies

The solution: designed for collaboration

From fragmented systems to one connected network

Medivet replaced a complex estate of more than 100 telephony providers with a single, enterprise-grade service across 378 practices and its Watford support centre. Consistent technology, features and support now connect teams across the organisation while significantly reducing the management burden on IT.

Work effectively from any practice, desk or device

Hot-desking, remote-working capabilities and support for desk and cordless phones give colleagues the flexibility to communicate wherever their role takes them. Calls can be routed to the right team, practice or 24-hour emergency hub, helping staff collaborate efficiently and ensuring clients reach the right support first time.

Consistent communications, tailored to every team

A common platform gives Medivet the benefits of standardisation without forcing every location to work in the same way. Call flows, opening hours and messages can be configured around individual practice needs, while central reporting enables continuous improvements across the wider network.
