Corporations are always looking for ways to reduce expenses. Thousands of companies use Microcall’s numerous features to help trim costs and save money! Here are just a few examples…

Unused Extensions often reflect employees that have moved from one department to another, or individuals that are no longer employed. Instead of purchasing additional phones/phone cards when adding new employees, use Microcall to identify any ‘unused’ extensions. These unused extensions can be reassigned to new employees, helping to reduce needless spending. In addition, unnecessary monthly trunk costs can be eliminated by having Microcall pinpoint ‘unused’ trunks, and doing away with the costly fees for trunks that are not even being used.

Microcall automatically emails a list of your company’s ‘Most Expensive Calls’, which can be used to discourage employees responsible for making them.

Compare Microcall’s phone billing reports with your carrier’s long distance phone bill to check for inaccuracies, over billing, etc.

Managers who have to pay out of their departmental budget for their portion of the monthly phone bill are more likely to analyze their employees’ calls. Microcall automatically distributes employee usage/expense reports to managers for review.

Call services such as these can cost several dollars per minute and may go unnoticed. When multiple employees dial ‘411’ information or ‘900’ numbers repeatedly, your expenses add up. Microcall identifies employees using these services excessively and helps to reduce their frequency.

Comparing corporate phone usage / expense on a monthly basis for the past year, 2 years, 3 years, etc., can assist with budgeting and negotiating long distance contracts.

Long distance calls going out over local CO lines can be costly and might be the result of a routing problem.

Customers calling into your business and receiving a ‘busy’ signal can equal loss revenue. Microcall tracks your trunk / circuit usage helping to identify ‘busy’ and ‘slow’ hours for each day.

Use Microcall to inventory equipment and/or to bill departments for their use of equipment, helping to recoup costly fixed charges an organization pays.

Microcall measures the volume of phone traffic between offices, the frequency of high volume patterns as well as long distance expenses associated with these calls. Armed with these results, you can compare your current expenses with those expenses associated with implementing dedicated lines or a VoIP solution.

Frequent calls to radio station contests, horoscope lines, dialup ISP’s and employee’s homes, etc., can consume a majority of the work day. Use Microcall to help encourage a limit on personal calls to improve productivity.

Most call centers and sales groups require their employees to make a certain number of cold calls a day. Microcall measures each employee’s number of calls, length of time on the phone, phone numbers dialed, etc. This information can be used to manage the employees more effectively. Microcall gives you objective information that can be used in incentive programs and employee evaluations.

Microcall provides endless reports that identify the total number of incoming and outgoing calls for each employee, the time spent with each client, excessively long calls, and much more. These reports are an invaluable tool to help evaluate the effectiveness of your employees in the Sales, Marketing, Customer Service and Call Center areas of your business.

Microcall determines busy / slow phone usage hours for each department which can help with scheduling and staffing.

The above are just a few ways that Microcall can help your organization to reduce expenses. The exceptional Micro-Tel Help Desk is available to all Microcall customers for additional suggestions and/or assistance in implementing Microcall’s cost savings features.
