For Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs), staying ahead in sales means leveraging tools that streamline communication and customer insights. In cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, where competition is fierce, integrating a VOIP phone system Australia with a powerful CRM like Salesforce can make all the difference. At Aatrox Communications, our 3CX Salesforce integration combines the flexibility of a cloud phone system with Salesforce’s robust customer management to supercharge sales. In this case study, we dive into how a Brisbane-based SME transformed its sales process with this integration, showcasing the power of 3CX’s features and Aatrox’s expertise in delivering tailored business phone systems for Australian businesses.
Understanding 3CX Salesforce Integration
The 3CX Phone System is a software-based IP Private Branch Exchange (PBX) that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to deliver calls, video conferencing, live chat, and more over the internet. When integrated with Salesforce, a leading CRM platform, 3CX creates a unified system that connects communication with customer data. As outlined on our Salesforce integration page, this setup allows businesses to know who’s calling before picking up, thanks to automatic CRM queries and contact syncing. Hosted in secure Australian data centers, it’s ideal for SMEs in Perth, Adelaide, or regional Queensland seeking a cost-effective, scalable solution.
Key Features of the Integration
- Contact Synchronization: Syncs Salesforce contacts with 3CX, displaying caller names on phones for inbound and outbound calls.
- Click-to-Call: Launch calls directly from Salesforce using the 3CX Desktop App, streamlining outreach.
- Caller ID Display: Automatically pulls the latest contact details from Salesforce, enhancing personalization.
- Call Journaling: Logs call details (e.g., duration, notes) in Salesforce for better lead tracking.
These features, supported by SIP trunking, empower businesses to work smarter, not harder.
The Challenge: A Brisbane SME’s Sales Struggle
A mid-sized Brisbane-based SME in the professional services sector faced significant hurdles with its legacy phone system. High call costs, manual data entry, and fragmented communication tools slowed their sales team. Reps spent hours logging calls and searching for customer details across multiple platforms, leading to missed opportunities and frustrated clients. Remote workers in the Gold Coast struggled with connectivity, and the lack of real-time insights hindered personalized customer interactions. With Australia’s 37% hybrid workforce, per the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the firm needed a business phone system that supported mobility and efficiency.
The Solution: Aatrox’s 3CX Salesforce Integration
Aatrox Communications stepped in to address these pain points with a tailored 3CX hosted solution integrated with Salesforce. Here’s how we transformed their sales process:
Step 1: Seamless Setup
We configured the 3CX system in the cloud, using secure Australian data centers to ensure reliability. The integration with Salesforce was set up via the 3CX API, syncing contacts and enabling features like click-to-call and call journaling. No hardware was needed, reducing costs compared to their old system’s $3,000 annual maintenance.
Step 2: Unified Communication Platform
The firm’s sales team gained access to 3CX’s unified platform, combining calls, video, and chat. With Email to SMS, reps could send quick updates to clients, while mobile broadband ensured remote workers stayed connected in regional areas like Cairns.
Step 3: CRM-Powered Sales Tools
Salesforce integration enabled contact pop-ups, displaying client details (e.g., name, recent orders) during calls. This allowed reps to personalize interactions, referencing past conversations. Automatic call logging eliminated manual entry, and virtual phone numbers provided a professional 1300 line for a polished brand image.
Step 4: Training and Support
Aatrox’s 24/7 Sydney and Melbourne support teams provided training on 3CX’s intuitive interface, ensuring the team mastered features like click-to-call. Ongoing support, detailed on our Contact Us page, kept the system running smoothly.
