Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have had Broadvoice as my company's communication source. There are a number applications to utilize the services offered. I was able to set up fax services (which was required for some of our business partners). I was also able to see a record of calls, voicemails and faxes both inbound and outbound. Having that access was valuable for our documentation.

Pros

  • They offer several platforms to access communication tools
  • I have stored records of all inbound/outbound communications
  • Email notifications are sent as a back up to incoming communication

Cons

  • The mobile app could use some improvement as calls were not always seamlessly transferred

We use Broadvoice for our phone system alongside B-Hive. We are a nonprofit organization serving over 2500 dental professionals and we use Broadvoice to answer our members and the public's questions regarding our events, sponsorships, anything dentistry related. While in the office, we use our office phone to answer calls and when we are working remotely, we use the B-Hive app instead, which comes in very handy.

  • Consistent phone calls from our members

Great Product and Great Customer Service

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We chose to use Broadvoice as our phone provider as we manage three different businesses, each with their own unique needs and teams. We needed the ability to manage all three businesses seamlessly with one provider, while still being able to customize each of our lines for our teams. We have Broadvoice direct lines as well as employees who also either have their own direct line or have chosen to use the Broadvoice app.

Pros

  • Customer Service (Van R. & Manny R. were simply amazing to work with!)
  • Onboarding (Such a smooth process)
  • Intuitive Software (Broadvoice is sophisticated and intuitive)

Cons

  • None that I can think of so far! We have been pleased with our experience.

Return on Investment

  • We are an early stage organization, so having a centralized phone provider will be beneficial when it comes to our efficiency as a team.
  • Running three business at the same time, Broadvoice has helped us tremendously - We have one provider on one bill but the Broadvoice platform still allows for flexibility and customization based on the needs of each of our businesses.
