Communications and Collaboration

We started in telecommunications more than twenty years ago. Voice is still where we are strongest, and it now covers far more than a switchboard: hosted PBX, instant push-to-talk across a national fleet, and control room dispatch. 

Replace the on-premise switchboard with a platform that moves when your people do.


  • Full PBX feature set: IVR, hunt groups, call recording, voicemail to email
  • Softphone, desk phone and mobile on the same extension
  • Per-extension billing that flexes month to month
  • Number porting handled end to end with no downtime


Cut the cost per minute without touching the way your team works.


  • Geographic and non-geographic number ranges
  • Least cost routing across multiple carriers
  • Burstable channel capacity for seasonal peaks
  • Detailed call analytics and fraud alerting


Turn Teams into your phone system so collaboration and telephony stop being two separate things.


  • Direct Routing into Teams with local number ranges
  • Licence optimisation so you only pay for what is used
  • Migration from legacy PBX with parallel run
  • Adoption sessions so the platform is actually used


Instant group communication that replaces two-way radio and works anywhere there is a signal.


  • Turns any smartphone into a secure two-way radio
  • Works across every South African network and over Wi-Fi
  • No repeater infrastructure, no licence fees, national coverage from day one
  • Rugged handset options for field, plant and mine conditions
  • Emergency and man-down alerting built in


 A live operational picture for the people running the response.


  • Live map of every unit, with talk group control from the desk
  • Voice recording, playback and incident reconstruction
  • Geofencing with automatic alerting on entry and exit
  • Integrates with rostering and patrol management


One queue for voice, WhatsApp, email and web chat.


  • Skills-based routing and supervisor live monitoring
  • Full interaction recording and quality scoring
  • Wallboards and real-time service level reporting
  • Optional AI agents handling first-line volume


Not sure which of these you actually need?

 That is the normal starting position. We walk the operation first and tell you where the gaps are before recommending anything.
