    When our clients or partners call our corporate number they can now reach any needed employee or department by themselves. It is simple - they just need to use voice assistant and press the needed number.

    It has helped us a lot with the communication flow of the company, employees have better communication with each other, via chat or if they are out of the office. They can also answer the chat or calls without problems with the mobile application. Very useful in all aspects, that's why we highly recommend it.

    • Excellent reception of calls and video calls, looks very clear, which makes it a better experience and information can be passed without any problem.
    • Screen sharing is excellent for video conferencing, when we need to explain a task or show a file from our computer, everyone understands and is satisfied.
    • I like that even if I am not in my work area, from my mobile devices such as my phone or tablet, I can access the application.

    • We've got the option to use another marketing channel with HotTelecom's SMS virtual phone numbers. They also provide us with an ability to count everything in marketing campaigns made with SMS numbers and to make the right decisions based on the received data.

    • A very easy-to-use program that does not require external technical support for installation or learning. Employees are more focused on their activities and the easy way to send files, which is a considerable saving of time and man-hours.
