Desktop Softphones bring a wealth of advantages to business communication by using the latest technology and SIP standards. Besides everything you can expect from a traditional phone system, a desktop softphone offers specific benefits including mobility, flexibility and significant cost savings.

When referring to a Desktop Softphone, it is natural to assume that it is an actual desk phone but, the term Desktop Softphone actually refers to an application or software which allows a user to make calls over VoIP. Any computing device such as smartphones, tablets and desktop computers can run Softphone applications. As long as you have a microphone and speaker, you will be able to connect remotely from wherever you are.

Mobility

With a Softphone, there is no need for physical lines, as employees can work remotely while benefiting from the same features they have at their desk as long as they have an internet connection. Enterprises using Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices can access seamless real-time business communication across their connected devices.

CRM Integration

Today’s businesses use Customer Relationship Management or CRM to manage their interactions with customers. Softphones like the Yeastar Linkus UC Softphone can easily integrate with Customer Relationship Management Platforms such as Google contacts, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Outlook Contacts. By integrating a CRM platform with your desktop softphone, you can streamline processes, improve customer service and increase sales.  

Consolidated Collaboration

By consolidating unified communications features such as group chat, conference calling and instant messaging, a softphone enables your employees to collaborate and stay connected no matter where they are in the world. A softphone will allow your team to easily share presentations on their screens, transfer files within a chat and work together on documents.  

Cost Savings

Switching to softphones eliminates the need for expensive installs, hardware and wires. Softphones use license-based software, which is easy to scale and adding new functionalities are done by simply upgrading your software. Local calls on your VoIP software are often free, and long-distance can be cheaper than it would be if you used a traditional desk phone.
