ArcNet
Features

Everything in ArcNet.

The whole platform in one list: the phone system, the phones, the mobile app, the contact centre and dialler, and the billing and security around them.

Calling

  • Extensions for every person, with their own number, caller ID and voicemail
  • Forwarding always, when busy or when not answered, and follow-me through a list of numbers
  • Do not disturb, call return, withholding your number for one call, and speed dials
  • Blind and attended transfers, call parking and conference rooms
  • Voicemail to email, with the message light on the desk phone
  • Call recording per extension, kept with each call in the history
  • Feature codes you choose, for everything from do not disturb to pausing in a queue
  • Company, department and personal phonebooks, uploaded from a spreadsheet, vCard or phone export, and private to your company
  • Clear spoken messages when a call can't go through, so callers know why

Routing

  • Auto-attendant menus with your own recorded prompts
  • Hunt groups that ring together or in turn, and call queues with hold music
  • Business hours and public holidays, per number or for the whole company
  • Named inbound routes, several numbers to one route, drawn as a chart before you save
  • Call flows laid out on a canvas, changed in a draft and published when they are ready
  • A flow described in a sentence, built by AI from the account's own teams, menus and recordings
  • Version history for every route: any earlier version shown as it was, named, and restored
  • Who may call what, per extension: local, national, mobile, international
  • Blocked numbers for the whole company
  • Changes reach the phone system as soon as you save

Phones

  • Zero-touch provisioning: add a MAC and a template, plug the phone in anywhere, and it sets itself up
  • Every Yealink T3x, T4x and T5x model, with templates built once for hundreds of phones
  • Lay out a phone's keys on a true-to-life drawing of the handset, including busy lamps for colleagues
  • Hot desking: log in to any shared desk phone with a PIN
  • Sign a phone out remotely from the portal
  • A phone in the browser, built into the portal
  • Several phones on one extension, each seen separately with its registration

Contact centre

  • Call queues with agent tiers, so your best people take the calls that need them
  • Agents sign in to shifts, pause with a reason, and wrap up before the next call
  • Wrap-up time set per queue, and per person where they differ
  • Your own call outcomes, grouped positive, neutral and negative, with notes where needed
  • Wallboards built from tiles, from ready-made templates, full screen on a TV
  • Queue reports: answer rate, abandoned calls, service level, wait and talk times
  • Attendance: who was signed in, paused and on calls, and for how long

Auto QA

  • Calls transcribed and scored against your own scorecards
  • Reports by agent, by scorecard item and by week, as a PDF
  • Reports emailed to your team every week or month
  • Your own AI keys, or ours

Outbound dialler

  • Preview campaigns: agents see the lead and its history before they call
  • Progressive campaigns: the next lead is dialled for the agent as soon as they are free
  • Recorded-message campaigns, where "press 1" reaches a person
  • Answering machine and call-screening detection, with an optional AI check
  • Call scripts, required notes, references and tags, and outcomes per campaign
  • Lead lists from spreadsheets or fed in by API, callbacks, retries by outcome, and a do-not-call list
  • Calls only within legal calling hours
  • Caller ID from a pool of your numbers, rotating in order or at random
