Stratford industries AgileIP serves
Guest houses and bed and breakfasts
A theatregoer asking about a room for opening week leaves a message overnight, and it reaches the innkeeper by email, ready to return once breakfast is served.
Cooking schools
The auto attendant lets callers choose between upcoming public classes and private group bookings, so someone planning a birthday dinner for twelve lands with the events coordinator.
Specialty cheese shops
A restaurant ordering a wheel of aged cheddar is transferred from the till to the cheesemonger in the cold room, who can check what is ready to cut.
Agricultural drainage contractors
With the office phone and the estimator's desk set up in one ring group, a farmer asking about tiling a wet field is answered at whichever desk picks up.
Stage lighting and sound rental companies
Production crews calling the rental line join a call queue and are answered in order by the next rental agent who comes off the phone.
Milliners and hat shops
Caller ID shows the milliner the number of a customer calling back about a fitting, so the call can be answered with the order already in hand.
How much comes standard when AgileIP installs the business phone system Stratford innkeepers ask for?
A hosted PBX that AgileIP owns, operates, and manages end to end, so there is no phone system hardware to buy or look after at the office. Every line carries the auto attendant, call queues, ring groups, voicemail-to-email, call transfer, and call forwarding, and arrives configured, with installation, a practical orientation for staff, and responsive ongoing support. The AgileIP softphone, call recording, and queue callback are available as add-ons.
Does a Stratford account extend to St. Marys, Mitchell, and Listowel?
Yes, and to Shakespeare and Milverton too. Each location answers on its own local number, and staff in St. Marys reach the Stratford office by extension at no long-distance cost. A company with an office in London or Kitchener can add it to the same account.
Which local area codes can a business keep or add?
All three, on one account. The 519 number a company has carried for years remains its published line, 226 and 548 numbers are added beside it for a department, a branch, or someone new, and the code on a number makes no difference to how the call reaches the desk. Toll-free numbers covering Canada and the United States are available as an add-on.
Can a Stratford business record its own greeting, or have one made?
Either. The owner can record the greeting and menu prompts from a phone and change them whenever hours or offers change. Voice artist recordings in English and French are available as an add-on for a business that wants a professional voice.
Does a two-person Stratford office need the same setup as a larger one?
No. The account is sized to the lines the business actually uses; a line is added for someone starting or removed when they leave, remotely, and every line carries the same standard features.
How does porting an existing number to AgileIP work?
AgileIP manages the transfer with the losing carrier and handles each step of the request. The number keeps working the whole time. The carrier stage usually runs 5 to 10 business days, and the line activates within 48 hours of the carrier’s approval.
