The way incoming calls are
handled can make or break a growing business. You need to ensure that calls are correctly
routed and messages are reliably delivered. You need to know that callers can get through
during busy times and off hours. You understand that hiring an operator or
receptionist to answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week would cost a
small fortune. You realize you need a voice messaging system, and you want a system that is
fully featured yet affordably priced. Well the Vertical Dispatch is the
answer!
Compact, Economical
Vodavi Dispatch is a self-contained voice processing system that delivers large
capability in a compact and economical package. With two to eight ports, a minimum of
100
hours of storage time and an unlimited number of menus and voice mailboxes, Dispatch is the perfect
choice for the small- to mid-sized organization. Plus, Dispatch can grow as your needs
grow - the system can start as small as two ports and expand up to 8 ports.
Simple, Versatile Voice Mail
Custom call-routing lets you tailor options and menus to your site. Users can easily
customize personal greetings to convey availability based on time of day, day of week, or
as-needed. And, up to 100 system-wide distribution lists can be set up by the
administrator, plus users can program up to nine personal distribution lists per mailbox.
Automated Attendant
Dispatch can manage communications without a live operator. Dispatch will greet callers
with an introduction, ask them to enter an extension or select from options, and even ask
for the caller's name before transferring so the recipient can screen the call. Dispatch
can park a call in a hold location and announce the call over your in-house paging system.
Dispatch can also inform a caller to a busy station where they are located in the
station's queue ("third in line"). Plus, Dispatch can provide frequently
requested information such as directions to your facility.
Easy Administration
Dispatch's Windows-based set up screen makes installation and administration a snap
from a laptop computer, or programming can be done from a telephone set, even from an
off-site location. With the "Quick Pick" list, integration with several popular
telephone systems is easily implemented. Mailboxes, messages waiting strings, transfer
strings, and time of day greetings are automatically implemented.
