Ms LefèvreCustomer · delivery questionLive

Hello, could you put me through to the delivery department? It’s about a delivery date.

I can probably help you directly. Which town are you in?

Villeurbanne. I wanted to know which day you deliver in my area.

Our rounds cover Villeurbanne on Tuesdays and Fridays, in the morning.

The question you are asking

What is a virtual phone system?

A virtual phone system replaces the box sitting in your office with a hosted service that receives calls, distributes them and forwards them. There is no hardware to install and no line to wire: the number lives with the carrier, and the routing rules are set from a browser.

Most virtual systems stop there: they route. The call reaches one handset, then a second, and if nobody picks up it ends in a voicemail box. The system has done its job, and the call is lost all the same.

Cantya takes the floor above. It answers itself, listens to the request, answers the questions you have given it the answers to, books the appointment in your calendar and transfers only what genuinely needs a person. Routing is still there; it becomes the last resort rather than the only move.

In practice

How it gets set up

  1. 01

    You keep your number

    By porting it, or by a plain forward from your current line. What your customers saved in their phones goes on working.

  2. 02

    You describe how you answer

    The greeting, your opening hours, the questions that keep coming back and their answers. You write it, word for word, from your dashboard.

  3. 03

    Cantya answers within two rings

    It replies, books an appointment or notes a request. On what it does not know, it transfers or takes the message, according to the rule you set.

  4. 04

    You read back what was said

    Every call leaves a written summary, the full transcript and the caller’s number. Nothing to listen back to in order to know what was asked.

Another question?Our team will answer, with your use cases in front of them.Talk to the team
Do I have to change my number?

No. You port your number to us, or you leave it where it is and switch on a forward to the Cantya line. Either way, the caller dials the number they know.

Does it work with the PBX we already have?

Yes, through a conditional forward: your handsets ring first, and Cantya takes the call after three rings or when nobody answers. Your installation does not move.

How many calls can it take at once?

Several, with no queue: two calls arriving in the same second are both taken. How many run in parallel depends on your plan.

What happens if it does not understand the request?

It says so, and applies the rule you chose: transfer to a number you name, or take the message and bring it to you. It does not invent an answer.

The next call gets answered.
