Nadine and her family were on top of the world. Their Turkish bakery had become a local favorite, and after years of hard work, they finally achieved a huge milestone: opening a second location. More customers, more employees, more success—what could go wrong?
A lot, as it turned out, because their small business phone service wasn’t up to the task.
- Calls kept going to the wrong store. Customers would dial one location expecting to reach the other, leading to frustration, confusion, and lost sales. Employees had to constantly apologize, manually transfer calls, or ask customers to hang up and redial.
- Voicemails got lost in the shuffle. Important messages were left on different systems, making it nearly impossible to track customer inquiries. Nadine would spend time listening to old voicemails, trying to piece together what had already been addressed and what still needed attention.
- Employees had to rely on personal phones. Without a proper business phone system, staff resorted to using their own mobile devices to communicate. This led to mix-ups, missed calls, and blurred lines between work and personal communication. Some employees didn’t want to give out their personal numbers, while others received work-related calls long after their shifts ended.
- Managing multiple phone numbers was a headache. Each location had its own physical phone lines, separate bills, and different service plans that didn’t integrate with one another. Nadine found herself spending hours sorting through invoices, trying to match numbers to locations, and handling billing disputes.
- Setup (and upkeep) was too complex. Managing a phone system for one location is one thing. Managing it for two? It got complicated quickly. And without an IT department, Nadine was forced to call the provider every time she needed to add a new phone line, upgrade a feature, or resolve an issue or new setup—costing time and money.
- Customer service suffered. Without essential business features like custom call routing, voicemail-to-email, and call forwarding, customers experienced long wait times and miscommunication. Some called back multiple times for the same issue, while others gave up, leading to lost orders and frustration.
Sadly, many multi-location businesses have been in Nadine’s shoes. Running one business location is hard enough, but managing business communication across multiple locations can feel impossible, especially with most retail communication solutions on the market.
However, it doesn’t have to be this way, not with NUSO Connect for Business. We make it easy to manage business communications across all locations with one simple solution.
