Cloud PBX from Liquid Telecom is easily customisable - offering the functionality that best suits your business needs.
The system can be set-up to support different user types and applications per handset device. At the same time, each device can be customised to support the user and their business requirements.
Basics features included as part of the Cloud PBX solution are speed dials, caller ID and name, call pickup groups, call forwarding and automatic call back. But your business can easily introduce more advanced functions using a front end portal – where you are able to easily configure or change functions across devices.
You can even access all our Cloud PBX functions on any device through an app.
